Timing on RB20DET

[davidl]

Hey Guys,

Anyone know what the timing should be set to on the RB20DET? which is running stock boost??

15o should be fine you can run more but you should have it on a dyno to check for detonation.

15 degrees?? Mine is set at 20 as i thought that was standard. I took it to a dyno place and they set it at 35deg. I wasn't very happy when i found out.

i know, we thought the timing belt had skipped a rung, but no.

15 is the factory spec, but some timing lights seem to double the figure, so you need to show 30 for it to be correct.

Safest way is to insert a standard plug lead between the coil and spark plug on #1 and time it the old fashioned way.
