turbo dizzy needed?

Post by corty240 »

Hey guys, just got a sigma turbo setup, wondering what I need in the form of a distributor? Do I need a turbo dizzy? If so where would you find one? Anyone got a spare or an old one they want to sell? Cheers guys

The US Starions and Chrysler Conquests use a 2.6L astron turbo engine.

Worth a look on the US Ebay site.

Cheers.

The best thing I've ever done to the car is fit an MSD. I couldn't find a boost retard Diaphram for my dizzy so I got a MSD"6BTM". I run a Magna Dizzy on my 2.6 Turbo. This thing allows you to dial in the amount of retard ( 0-3 Degrees) for every PSI of boost.I had to lock the mechanical advance cause the dizzy was going nuts with ruff idle and some other crazy things going on. But after that I idles smooth and has more off boost power. And you can adjust it for cheaper fuel if you want to run 91RON for the highway for long trips. I use to do a lot of Sydney to Cairns trips and I'm a bit of a tight ass. I would defiantly recommend it. Cost me $450 from the US on ebay.

thanks turbo, I managed to find an original turbo dizzy, though if I have a few hundred left at the end of the build I will seriously consider the msd option, the build is starting to blow out quickly. Cheers mate ted
