CRA Crank ref. ang.

Is it 10 degrees?

That's what I run on the stock balancer. And on the BHJ balancer I run 6 degrees.

Is it 10 degrees?

In a perfect world yes,But the crank offset should be checked when a fast system is installed to be sure its 10* ive seen them as far off as 13* and as low as 6*.
In turn if it is not set to your balancer you timing is not correct

Would one be using a timing light for this? Look at timing in the ECU vs./ balancer?

 

[Otto J]

yes,Your balancer must read exactly the same as what your timing table is set at.So if you set the table at 30* at say 2000 and hold it at 2000(make sure the bubble is in a 30* box and surrounded by 30* boxes also to be safe,and your balancer should read 30*,if not you must adjust the CRA till it matches,youm ay need to add to the 10 or subtract from it to get it exact
Did you install the F.A.S.T sytem?

 

[turbo2nr]

no.
Car idled OK for a while. Maybe the hotter weather was affecting it. I now have a better understanding of how things affect the idle with the FAST. I think i got it now.

I will shoot a timing light at it soon to verify.

Thanks

Definetly check it,It should be good.Most installers know to do this.
