Subi81 Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Ok I was just looking at some old posts and was wondering. Does the flywheel on said car have marks that go to 25 deg. I don't think that mine does. And one more thing when I set the timeing the Disty was all the way to the stops. I could not turn it any farther with out taking the lockdown bolts off. The car gets great milage but real surges on acceleration. Kinda wants to go but is holding back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5280wagon Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 hi subi the marks on my turbo's flywheel don't go to 25 either. if you couldn't adjust the distributor any further without taking the bolts off, then it is probably a tooth off. marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 The reason they don't go to 25, is because the timing is supposed to be set at 20 btdc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5280wagon Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 hi calebz the 86 manual specs 25 deg btdc for turbos. marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 I have done more on 84 EA81T and EJ22 than the ea82T but doesnt it have a mark guide on the front of the motor as well, like on the timing belt cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subi81 Posted August 25, 2003 Author Share Posted August 25, 2003 Thanks for the replies I have tred to set the timing back a tooth maybe I will just thave to try harder. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Sorry if I gave false info.. My 88 FSM (sitting here in front of me), shows timing set to 20 degrees BTDC@ 700 rpms... If 86 is different, well.. I guess one learns something new every day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5280wagon Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 the timing difference probably has to do with mpfi vs. spfi. marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
