Simple power Increase from 80 series petrol motor

Post by bruiser »

Has anyone tried this or have anything to say about this.

Talks about changing the factory timing settings for increased power, espesially off the mark and at lower revs along with better fuel economy. :armsup: :armsup: :armsup:

I do this on all my petrol vehicles, there are almost always gains to be had. be careful though - if the power seems noticably worse, you have gone too far and the computer is winding the spark back from the knock sensor - the knock sensor hears the knock long before it is audible to the human ear. sart with a few degrees and work your way up in 1 degree increments, also check the timing on both the TDC cylinders (1 and 4, 1 and 6) to make sure you are working with the most advanced one.
