so wait, I thought the you set the distributor to spark plug one with the distributor at TDC.

You are saying set the crank pulley to 20 degrees on the alignment pin at crank, then install distibutor to CYL 1?

Its driving me nuts,

First I had MAF code, thats ok now that apexi neo is plugged in!!!

I have a constant p1320 code. I have the MSD 6al ignition. After readin MSD install, I realized I never cut a wire inside of it to tell it that its a 4cyl.

But I need timing clarification on the TDC.

Set crank pulley to TDC (second mark from the left) on the compression stroke (you can remove the oil cap and peek at the cam lobes, which should be pointing outward).

Install dizzy, so that it's pointed to #1 once installed.

Check timing with light, adjust as need via FSM instructions, drive the hell out of car.

Ok, timing is perfect 20btdc. Car is sputtering and running 10.1-10.5 afr. So rich its unreal and not wanting to even rev without reving slowly..

Throwing a p1320 ignition signal primary code.Injectors must be dupming a ridiculous amount of fuel. Upon further research and talking to msd, because the distibutor and fuel timing is direclty related, they said for a 240sx i need tach adapter part number 8910-eis . Other wise injectors are getting the wrong signal. I was monitor it with my consult unit, and noticed the injector cylce and base fuel schedule were way off from each other, double the alowable amount.

So, ordered the msd tach adatper and we will see.

Next i just gotta get this greddy boost controller set up, I hate the instructions!! Revved it a few times and heard soem compressor surge.

Amazing how fast boost started to build with the GT32!

Dude!, that's beautiful! What a job... you gotta make to some meets with that thing, or I'll have to come and see it for myself. When you say the car if for fun, I am assuming this is NO Daily driver. The molded look is fantastic but will get destroyed on the street. The color is gorgeous! More pics, open it up bit let see how she really looks...

Touche...

Those sideskirts are giant but I think they look great the way they match with the wide fenders IMO. They sort of blend in w/ the car.
