Driving Like Crap, Timing Out By Tonnes (rb25det)


Recommended Posts

Hello again, I finally got the car all together and working to find it drives like crap. There's weird sounds out of the timing gear, to which I found a video online exactly the same sound..Idler pulley. So I'll replace all the pulleys. But here's where I have no clue what to do. The previous owner upon purchase had said he screwed up the timing and it slipped off or something to that tone, so I know the timing is likely rooted as well as the car driving like trash points to this. I cannot get the marks to line up with the markings on the cam gears / backing plate but I can get them to line up with where they have drawn lines which are miles from where the OEM lines are. This is the first time I've done anything timing related but I've read heaps but I'm not sure how to fix this issue. Here's some images below of what I mean.

What steps would I take to correct this. Thanks in advance.

What the fk. Are you saying you want to know how to get it running right, while timing marks are all over the place and unable to line up where they need to.

Download workshop manual or follow one of guides on here; pull off timing belt and set it up as instructed.

No obviously not haha. I just wanna make sure I got it all correct. I've checked the manual but it doesn't go over it when timing is all f**ked up like this though? Sorry if its a dumb question, I know its been asked but this case seems different to a normal change belt case?

just take the belt off and start from scratch back to stock timing, whatever its set at is obviously not good so just go back to basics.
