Guys! i need help again(GSL-se addict?)
Ok i got my new injectors / i checked my fuel pressure / locked dizzy/ .............................car idles good runs fine and all / but it's not as fast as it was 2 weeks ago=( I know i'm running a little rich....But i think my timing is bad...........
How do i set my timing?
I'm running a stock s4 turbo w a stock wastegate......................
Car gets to rich@ about 4K rpms/ w 2X1100cc injectors/ .........did compression test and i get 100+ +/- 10% in both rotors
@ high RPM'S it boosts fine(9-10 psi) but is not as fast .......also i did the emission's removal like rotaryresurrection.com and it made a FAT difference!!! runs a lot better / what do i do w/ the vaccum advance? Move it all the way towards the dist cap or pull it towards the driver????or leave it?
how do i set TDC on a GSL-SE

oooh.... thought I was going to be able to help you on this one, I hope someone speaks up and gives some info. Finding 'TDC' is found on the FAQ page (somewhere) I found it once about a month ago when I installed a new engine. Good luck, sorry Im not more of a road map on the timing issue.

Well, usually turbo cars get rid of the vac advance. Where was the vac advance connected to? Is this an S4 T2 intake that you are using? I imagine it is a timing issue. The power has decreased since you removed emissions, right? You will either need to try to mark your pulley or better yet get one from RB or something that already has timing marks on it. Some one else will have to chime in as far as what the timing should be set on a turbo engine like yours. Because the dizzy is locked and you'll have no vac advance, your timing will be fixed. This means that you can set the timing good for say the upper end, but will not be ideal for lower end. To set the timing, you'll need a timing light, a marked pulley, and what value the timing should be set at.
Your TDC should be fine. The only way it can really get messed up is if you have taken the 4 bolts off the front pulley without marking it. The pulley can go on 4 diffreent ways, so that is what gets people messed up sometimes.
Another thing. What did you do about the fuel pressure regulator solenoid (orange one)? Is it still hooked up the same? If the FPR isn't connected to manifold vac, your fuel pressure won't be right under boost.

and about the orange solenoid i pulled it out/ and the FPR is connected to the uper intake manifold on the TII with a T fitting w/the BOV
One more thing......I pulled my plugs out again and they were BLACK! Hella black
i just put them in yesterday!!! Running Too Rich?
