watup guys.. i finally got my h22a swap in after 2 weeks. most of time was waiting for parts n specialty tools. that swap broke my green a** in.. engine starts strong and sounds real good. at the moment its way too loud to test drive cause my old exhaust is a size too small. so waiting to find a new cat n catback. since im waitn for more dumb parts i wanted to check timing n cant find any timing marks on new flywheel. it was the ebay special which im trying my luck on. it was the f1 racing stage 1 clutch kit wit cromoly flywheel. it doesnt look like it came wit the timing marks. the original 1 had the marks on it. it didnt come to mind till i checked for timing.. pls dont tell me i hav to get another flywheel n remove the tranny. i had a hard time mating tranny n motor n dont want to do it while in the car.....

just look more carefully, there should be marks.
i swap my motor out about a week ago and jsut time mine yesterday.
i can barely see but its there and really faded.
mine was from ebay too

ok thanx.. i also just called gripforce n they said the flywheel should hav a - n + marks on them. the original flywheel had the markings right under the view port. i guess the new 1 will b off far to the left. hope i hav it on my new one.. ill check it out again.
well if i dont hav one on new flywheel. is there any other way to check timing. the engine starts good n idles fine. can i run the engine the way it is without any damaging it.
also just wanted to throw out is the jdm h22a exhaust system bigger in diameter than the usdm ones..?

oh yeah i forgot my new fly wheel only have 2 marks on it. and than when my friend and i do the timing we align it in the middle of the 2 marks.
um if there are no marks than just wiggle ur distrubutor and test it until it runs the best out of all the attempts. thats about the only thing i can think of right now.

and about the jdm and usdm exhaust system i dont think they are different, same size but i am totally not sure at all.

the exhaust system should be the same size brother.

ok thanx guys.. thats good with the usdm n jdm h22a exhaust. i did the 92 si 2.3 swap to a jdm h22a. just wanted to confirm the h23 exhaust is smaller (2.25" i think) n the h22a exhaust r 2.5"..?
as far as timing ill play with the dizzy to find best position (adv or retard) to run the engine. once i find the sweet spot n engine sounds n feels good will i b good to go or will i have b cautious on running the engine hard without knowing the timing..?
will the ecu compensate if my timing is a little off..?
