Ok, I have a serious question for those with more experience and knowledge than me.
I just finished finals, so I'm about to start tearing down bits of my car for some TLC, part of that will be pulling the distributor and checking it out. I just replaced the cap and rotor yesterday because it was sputtering on the highway while holding 4-5k rpm's. It's still doing it, and sometimes it sputters or drops RPM's while idling. By sometimes, I mean first cold start (which is understandable) and after pulling off the interstate and coming to a rest.
My MAIN question is that the distributor is for a JDM B16, not the B18C GSR spec I have in the car. The one I pulled off initially that's currently junk is larger than the one I have. Is this part of the issue? I'm tuned to rev to 9000 RPM's on a Skunk2 mani and larger TB, which I happily tap into every few days.
Do you think having a smaller B16 Dizzy on a B18 is causing it to wear prematurely? Should I get a Type-R Dizzy or a aftermarket (MSD?) ignition system instead?
