to put it shortly;

Motor: D15B
Car: 92 EG8


When I did a swap, I put in a new timing belt, water pump, etc.

Timed the cam to stoc specs/alignment, rotated motor for 4 rotations to verify;

installed the motor and when cold it ran good.

once it warmed up, It was weaker than shit.... barely ran. I advanced the shit out of the timing, and it ran better.

After playing with the cam for a few days, I have it set 8.5Deg Advanced, and 16degBTDC to get the best power out of it. It still feels weaker than my last D15B....

Somehow is it possible I got shafted with a Y8 cam?

when everything is at TDC are you able to get the right base ignition timing?

it looks like Im gonna have to pull the head off this motor and mic the cam nest to my other D15B cam....


Still no replies with ideas?

SO far: 8.5Deg ADvanced: is the beat power making setting: but is weaker than my old D15B. Just about as strong as my motor was when I noticed a spun rod bearing.
