Hello i just traded rx7 fc for a 1990 miata.
t did come turbo with a greddy turbo kit, rising rate fpr, apexi safc (removed it as soon as i took car home) flying miata roll bar, and exhaust.. it a bad idle and wen i checked the igntion timing, it retard by like 14.... so i took everything apart, redid the timing belt to exact mark... rechecked the mark after running it for 5 minutes and there still good.... but wen i checked the ignition timing, it was still advance retarded 12°… so i advance the cas as much as i can and it went to about 4° atdc... and only way to get to 10° btdc is taking out the bolt that holds it in place, and moving it more to 10° btdc but itruns a rough... any suggestions on what mighg be the problem??

First off, why did you take out the S-AFC? It was probably adding fuel. So now that is done, let's go over a few things:
1. When setting your timing, did you jumper the diagnostic box to set the car in timing mode?
2. It sounds like you are not reading your timing light correctly or are looking at the wrong marks. Regardless, with a greddy turbo kit in stock form, you should be at 6 degrees of timing.

In other news, I'm totally capable of capitalization and punctuation when posting from my phone. I suggest you learn to do it or I will taunt you a second time.

Why the **** did you remove the air/fuel controller? That was retard dumb move number 1.
Put that **** back and set your timing to stock. If you are daily driving the car, make it as simple as possible for your "new to the turbo world" experience.

Sorry, but on this forum we respect the language and communicate like adults. Please, write like an adult or I'll be forced to ban you. I get that you're destined to be a Wal Mart greeter, but please consider that most of us aren't and hold ourselves to a higher regard when communicating.

Dear mystery156,
If you do not reason with our requirements we will not help you. If someone was on your door step calling you a dickless ******* but wants to use your phone, do you let him? Probably not.
However, if you do not agree with our methods of communication and reliable running miatas of enjoyment, there is a site full of people that would happily take in your frantic rants of disregard and belligerent broken english over at www.clubroadster.net; and a cat name Hyper will surly show you the way.
