Hey guys, I finally managed to get my engine running. Took me ages to get the timing marks spot on but I freaking did it.

The block is N/A, got a turbo head and am running turbo injectors, The intake cam is from an N/A (are they the same?) and running a series 1 TPS and using a turbo ECU. Oh, also using an N/A zorst manifold because I dont have a dump pipe yet for my turbo and the N/A mani has an o2 sensor on it.

I have a turbo gear to go on it but still waiting for some parts to arrive.

My question is, because its an odd setup, what would be the best timing for it? I dont have a timing gun to check what the timing is like, but to me it sounds like its breaking down when I rev it.

Spot the fire hazards...

Id say what ever a 25det timing is, and the break down id attribute to coils possibly

Good point. When I was checking for spark I did notice the coils with no spark plug plugged arcing out onto the coil bracket. Ive always wanted to do an external coil pack conversion might give me an excuse to do it. I just assumed the arcing was due to no spark plug in them and the spark had to go somewhere.

What......

How can you be doing stuff like this and have no timimg gun?

Who cares what timing we tell you to run, how will you run it?

Ill buy one tomorrow

Engine is nowhere near ready to get accurate with tuning.

For the moment set the CAS so she will start easily, sounded a bit too far advanced in the video.

She starts first go and idles without any issues. When I get the gun ill get the timing spot on :) (I hope)

Unplug TPS, unplug IACV.. then make sure your idle is screwed in at 650rpm (as per recommendation for a RB25DET).. then set timing at 15 degrees BTDC.

Car will run ok.. but wouldn't be nice to run.. you could blanket an additional 2 degrees on top to make your base timing 17 degrees.

It's a NA so should be fine (of course check for audible knock).

For earth do i need to follow the same procedure or i can use only 16awg wire for all coil and their connecting wire following to the plug?

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
