]Just wondering how the high horsepower fellas cure the astron of its timing.....uncertainty, ya know try to time an astron that still has its dizzy and the best you can do is take an average for timing as it walks all over the place.Surely this would spell disaster on a boosted engine? My thoughts ...

I've kicked off a new project in my 91 Paj. Something special(I think) I'm installing a commodore ecu to run two dfi coilpacks on the 2.6 with the dizzy delete, And I've got something special for the Carby. A motorcraft Variable Venturi 7200 twin barrel. Ford never offered (that I'm aware )needle an...

What head has it got? Mxx ? Assuming engine has its original head, it can be deduced... Eg M5,6,7,8,9 magna. M26 27 28 29 etc is pajero.

Gday has anyone got a figure for base timing of a 2.6 pre adr 27A ? Ie non emissions timing
OR does anyone know where I should look to find it?
Ta

OK, ta m8.

Wouldn't have a clue, we didn't get Celeste's here.
Might have to bite the bullet and pill it apart and take some photos, and the vin number to s parts place that can help u.

Fair nuff

I still want to see if anyone knows what they go for...

That we will be doing!

Heh certainly, otherwise domed pistons would be useless. And diesel engines that have no significant in head combustion chamber couldn't achieve 22:1 as they do. Its well known in the holden world that if you want a high compression holden 6 you use a 138-161 red head on a 179-202 engine as it uses ...

Yes, I agree they're not Seth. To be a track car, but they are certainly suited to going fast inna straight line.

Hmm can't edit.

I've read on these forums that it has a smaller combustion chamber to raise the compression up to somewhere near 11.5:1

Ah I see the confusion I've said blown instead of direct petrol injection. Apologies. Will edit.

Gray all thinking of a 4g52 head. On my 54 for boosting. How much do they go for?

Have you sent. The glass fibre reinforced petg? Was thinking I could print a thermostat housing with that one, except I read it dissolves with aromatic hydrocarbons. wonder if they make a. High temp grade nylon version.

That makes total sense. Cooled by a waterjacket around the guide. So I'm guessing on a petrol engine on the intakes they understandably cannot keep petrol out of the guides, so they must utilise it as a form of lubrication and reduce via the stem seals the amount of oil admitted to keep things in or...

A tr fuel rail doesindeedfit on a tp intake. I did it on my rwd conversion. I understood the tn intakes to be narrow port tho, so idk there. Would you like some pix?

Ok, so my question goes something like this: if we know for example that we need to add a bottle of moreys to properly lubricate intake valves when a gas conversion is done, we are told this is because a gaseous fuel is insufficient to lubricate the intake valve stems and will wear them out. My ques...

Best thing I did to improve my own saftey on the road was a defensive driving course.I dont know what they call them in norway, but driving a car isnt worth it till you complete one.Saved my life and others as well as millions of $. Its worth doing.

Interesting.. A 4g32 saturn engine in a sigma! The saturn engine was often turbocharged in the 80s and 90s. It would not be hard to do this with forum help

How did you go with this giert?
For convenience in measuring the difference, I made up a set of giant wooden calipers that I could get underneath the car with and measure fhe distance from bottom boltholes. Works a treat.

Looking very very exciting here. Now if you were chasing some power....

How did you end up going mate? Behive springs sound like a great edition to my astron.. Did they fit the bill?

Hmm it still could be possie on a road car.... 96mm with the std bores would shed alot of heat into the coolant.. And very possibly cavitate on the outer bore surfaces... You could solve the heatshed (but not powerloss) by a waterless coolant, the aussie w.c. or evans. Secondly, your rings would hav...

As far as I'm aware.... production of such an engine stopped many years ago (automotive production doesn't exist in Australia anymore and I can't see the benefit of running the same engine that was built 3 decades ago.......) Really? You cant? Toyota run the 3y. And 5r engine in forklifts,nissan th...

So I read somewhere on the net..forgot where that astrons were still being made and installed new for lpg in forklifts.. Which in interesting news. Why do I find it so interesting? Well...probably 5 years ago now, QLD took on NSW engine conversion laws, deleting one rule that allowed older engines t...

My donor '54 donk from a tr manual is narrow. Would I be right in presuming an auto block is wide?

Hey gents, My scientific manuals rebuild your magna info was bogus saying for the astron 10 deg btdc as base timing .Thankyou for the help re 5Deg. The only problem that remains, after tinkering with the cooling system to ensure it cools quick,is When I take the vehicle over 80kp/h (3000rpm) to 100-...

Wow old post, worked it out, It was the fact that id put on a pajero timing cover on the fwd astron II so the timing lights didnt match up ... just felt tdc no 1 with a screwdriver andthe sparkplug out, and ground in a nick with a dremel into the magna balancer and painted it .Problem Solvered.

You want enginuity? Ive got a project . I've worked out how to turn a kjet into sequential inj. Just need to cast a new balance arm, machine a new pin and collar.
