just put in my engine and checking timing i noticed that the coils ignite when the key is switched to the run position? is this normal? what did i do wrong?

also, i couldn't get it to start, I'm thinking it to low fuel MS. went from 550 to 440 cc inj. how much fuel pressure or how many MS should I add to compensate for this change?
using same map as before, changes are 4-port HB with a semi-pp, old was a 6-port hb.

 

Im pretty sure thats normal. The Ignition should get power as soon as you turn the key to ON. Same with anything else.

I have a sprint re and I turn the key the plugs always fire once.

 

+1. my old e6x did the same

 

the old e6 used on the cbr600 bike engine in a previous FSAE chassis used to blow up plenums doing the same thing. They pulse the outputs on power up.

 

my e6k sometimes blows vacuum caps off when it happens, reallty annoying

 

i saw my engine actually turn!

 

Ive seen that too.
