Ignition Timing
Posted: Thu, 29 Jan 2009 8:03 +0000Fergus mentioned to me that the ignition timing can be advanced/retarded from standard to produce more power, better MPG.
Does anyone know the number of degrees? Does anyone have any links to how it can be done - I presume a timing light is required, other than that, I presume all that's to it is hooking it up and moving the cam position sensor - is that all?
Once the current problems are sorted, I think it's time the 5 was given the attention it deserves. From what Fergus is doing, it seems like a lot of fun and extra power can be had for not a lot of fiddling with the engine, and not a whole pile of money. Ours is pretty much standard except the wheels/suspension.
