6 bolt swap question

torque77 · Oct 19, 2005

i just did a search on this because i havent been able to get my car to run right ever since i got it back from the shop and found out a few things that i need a little explaining after i searched. i believe the shop that did my6 bolt swap to my 2g head (99 gsx) put a 90 cas in the car. now is this right or do you need a 93-94 cas as i read while searching around??? the car is misfiring like crazy and the timing is way off. if that is true, how do i fix this problem. i can tune with greddy emanage ultimate and log everything so i know what is going on. that is how i know the timing is way off. but i was reading somewhere about misfiring and the timing being off, and i keep pulling a cell of injector circuit-cylinder 1. thanks for the help.

Dont quote me on this but I think you need a 91-94 cas. Also look for boost leaks and check your cam timing (align the cam gears and crank gear).

The black top cas does seem to work better on most cars but there are quite a few guys who have not had any missfire problems with the older green top cas.
The ignition timing needs to be set at 5* base advance. Take the car back to the shop, it shouldn't run like poop.

I have the black top CAS in my talon with my 6bolt and it still misfires at a consistent rpm but when i am acceling it isnt there. Have you tried the potientiometer thing from magnusmotorsports.com, i did it and it didn't work, but my timing was off when i attempted it. Now my timing is right so i am going to try it again. Has DSMLINK been proven to eliminate this misfire??

i havent tried it yet because my car idles like crap and doesnt run that well, its going back to the shop next wednesday to put a black top in it. my timing was shit as well so i wouldnt know. dsmlink wouldnt work in my car at all with the problem i am having, couldnt even pull a cel at all, but i put my stock ecu back in and its all worky again. so i dont nkow.

Yeah mine was on 2 cylinders at one point because the timeing was off 12* but once it was reset it runs good like i say when i am acceling. but i cant pass emissions untill the misfire is fixed.

The best thing is to set your timing and double check your wiring...

If you have a 95-96 car then use RRE's signal inverter method, it works great.

If you have a 97-99 car then use the direct wire method.

Make sure your spark plugs are all going to the right places. Even with timing set at +2 deg the car ran fine, but can't hurt.
