gotrotors?

I need to time my s4 rx7 turbo II. Basically, how do you do it. What rpm do i need to time it at and what do the marks mean.


thanx in advance

I don't know how but i'm sure if you used the search button you could find out pretty fast.

Copied this off a web site:
Hook the inductive coil around the leading wire to the front rotor. Then connect the other wires to the battery and ground. Loosen the bolt to the crank angle sensor. It is brass so be careful not to strip it. Do not remove the screws on the sensor plate, it does no good.

Turn on the engine and let it warm up to idle. Pull the trigger of the light and point at the pulley at the base of the crank angle sensor. There are 2 marks, yellow for leading and red for trailing. They may be difficult to distinguish. The timing light should be hooked close to the coil and not the spark plug.

There is a pin above the pulley to match the yellow mark to. If you cannot tell which color is which just turn the crank angle sensor (it pivots after you loosen that bolt) and get one of the marks set with the pin.

Disconnect the inductive coil and re-connect it to the trailing wire for the front rotor. Point the gun at the pulley again and squeeze the trigger. If there is a mark (should be red but maybe can't tell) lined up with the pin then you are done and should shut off the engine and tighten the bolt to the crank angle sensor. If the mark is _way_ off then you confused the colors and should redo the leading timing until the other mark is lined up properly, then redo the trailing timing.

If you cannot reconcile the marks to both line up properly, make sure you are using the proper wires. They are marked L1 and T1. If they still do not line up then ask more people on the list for advanced help. BE CAREFUL!!!! While adjusting the sensor the engine is at operating temps. This may cause you to want to use a rag to turn it and not burn your hand. However, the fan and some belts are in very tight proximity and could hurt you if you don't take care.

Warm it up.
Connect timing light to L1.
While watching out for the fan, point the light at the main pulley.
Move the CAS if need be to line up the yellow mark with the pin.
Trailing is the red mark.
