how does this timing look?

How does this timing look? This is on a 7 bolt 99GST. I am questioning it because I have never don the timing on a 2g before and the crank timing marks kind of thru me off because they are different than any timing marks I have ever seen. Thanks

If the trigger plate were flipped around . . . you would not have a running car. Next time you get a chance to take a look at it, You'll notice that the plate is not perfectly flat. The center is actually a depression. Flipping the plate over and assembling would cause the butterfly to make contact with the crank position sensor and destroy it (been there, done that . . .)

From the pix- all of your timing marks look spot-on to me.

Please explain your partial throttle problems. When you are off a tooth or two, you have problems ALL OF THE TIME, not just under certain conditions. I would guesstimate that mechanical timing is not your problem.

My symptoms are I have a rough/miss in my idle, lost power in the bottom end, and it spools up late doesn’t hit full boost till like 3400-3600 rpms (this is a T-25) and is running really rich. When I try to do a WOT pull from 2500rpms it bogs really bad then has a hard time coming out of it till it hits 3200rpms or until full boost and I tried to install a MBC and I cant control the boost it just creeps/spikes all over the place. The car just sucks to drive around town in stop and go traffic because of this. Also I don’t know if this has something to do with it but recently my ltft on my logger reads +1-3% when putting load on the engine but free revving at the same rpm will put the LTFT at –7 to -5, which it didn’t used to go into the + LTFT at all. Thanks for the help!
