RB20 timing issues.

[blazin_teg]

I bought a s14 with a rb20 swap and I am having a weird problem with it. Mods are fmic, exhaust, factory turbo, gtr injectors with homemade resistor pack, 300zx maf, and a cone filter. My problem is, when I set the timing with a timing light my car just looses all power. Sounds like its really struggling, like its being choked off. When I rotate the cas all the way counter clockwise it runs at about 85 percent. Has decent power but still lacking a little. The problem isnt getting the timing set. I can set it dead on. But it runs very bad when its set. I have checked this so far. I have got a retune by carl h. I have upgraded the fpr to a standalone removing the factory fpr. Checked for boost leaks. And there are none. Set the tps. Tore the front of the engind down and checked the timing marks. They all line up perfectly. Did a compression check and got 152 148 146 149 146 146. on a cold engine. I am out of Ideas. Is there anything else that controls timing. Can the cas go bad. Could it be the ecu gone bad. Thats really all thats left. Pleas give me some ideas.

Are you sure your getting a correct reading?Where are you getting your signal from?

My timing light was telling me that my timing was WAY off, but that was because my light had to be hooked up to the spark plug wire.

Try making a spark plug wire and use that.Its cheap.I posted picks of the stuff I used, you can pick it up at pepboys like $7.

I am using the timing loop by the igniter.
