k guys well here's my new dilema. just swapped in another ka24e with my turbo kit. first motor went bad with about 223,000 miles on it I just finished swapping in a newer sohc ka. car starts then idles really low, then violently hesitates ad finally dies. my turbo setup didnt give the previous motor any problems the timing chain just died. all the wiring seems to be fine because i actually got to drive it around the block but then it started to do this randomly. when i drove it up a hill it only got up to about 2000 rpm and it lost all its power on the uphill. timing is set at 14 degrees due to the fact that im running turbo...factory i believe is at 18 degrees. my setup includes

-Airesearch t3 turbo-greddy type s bov-S-AFC version 2-rx7 450cc injectors-walbro 255 fuel pump-fmic

thats pretty much the main parts of it. is my timing set too retarded!?!?!?!? if anyone has any suggestions please help!

you need to verify a few things. does it seem like its running rich or lean when it starts to die? pull valve cover and check that chain is lined up right. unplug maf and o2 sensors and see if it will stay running. try spraying carb cleaner in a vac hose when its dying to see if that will keep it running. check plugs. check fuel pressure.
