tubo dizzy

Post by sikmaturbo257 »

do you need to modify the standard dizzy so that it retards the timing on boost? if so who does it and how much roughly would it cost?

What about just locking up the mechanical advance?

only time thats in effect is high rpm, and its rare that you'll be at high rpm without boost


Isn't the ideal way, but I'm sure its been done a few times as a cheap alternative

with injection you can lock the dizzys cos the computer advances them accordingly but with a turbo setup , you need one that advances and retards.

I locked the mechanical advance in my GL Scorp dizzy when i put the turbo on it. Standard Sigma turbo setup, running the otherwise standard Scorp ignition. It was the quickest and cheapest way to stop it detonating as I needed the car running ASAP.
