Re: car is boosted, but not moving at all under 8psi HELPPP

I posted a little too quick. What I meant to say was that one tooth on the cam is approx 10 degrees, but for ignition timing it would be twice that (four stroke 2:1 crankshaft to camshaft ratio) so one tooth would be 20 degrees off on the ignition timing.

So being one tooth retarded in your case would explain some things. 10 degrees on the cams would place the powerband way down low (where the SC61 doesn't make power) and 20 degrees on the ignition would result in a slow *** ride.

This guy has a B18B. The cams have 34 teeth and the drive has 17 teeth. A d-series has 38/19 teeth which puts that at 9.5 degrees. What motor are you talking about?

Off by two? How does being off by one tooth on a dual cam make it being off by two teeth because it has two cams? It could have 10 cams and one tooth is still one tooth.

More boost won't solve your problem. According to AEM's website, they don't sell 3-bolt for honda/acura, but I've seen many with them. Before upping the boost, adjust the cam gears in the same direction and see if that helps your low power problem.

Ya that is true, but you don't double the amount of degrees.

Re: car is boosted, but not moving at all under 8psi HELPPP

from the looks of it, does the timing look right?
i mean i do have the two middle lines pointing together
and both dead 0 straght up
and the TDC lined in right?

yeah ive seen a few 3-bolts camgears for bseries motors, they are the older modle ones

This is very basic, but did you check your ignition timing to see if it is at 16 BTC or whatever the LS is supposed to be. Don't forget to jump the service connector.
