yetterben Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 After talking with Tony D about the subject he recalls a website where someone modded a 510/z dizzy to retard timing under positive intake pressure. He lost the link. Was wondering if any of you folks have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 fast z Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 You can do it with modifying th breaker plate. Then use a boost pressure canister (baisicly a reverse vacume canister that is stock on the E12 setups) to pull the plate in the retard direction.

Administrators RTz Posted September 24, 2009 Administrators Share Posted September 24, 2009 You can also do it with a dual pick-up distributor and a Hobbs switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 No special canister is needed, under vacuum the cannister pulls the breaker plate in one direction, under pressure it pushes in the other. But in the 'push' direction the travel is limited. You have to open up the slots to let it retard further than 0 degrees. The website I am thinking of is related to 510's but it's the same for the six cylinder models. Then again, getting an E12-80 distributor off a European Turbo Car would do the same thing, it retards under boost... No ECCS timing control on thos cars, they they have 200HP stock, no catalyst, and standard EFI style Computer on it! Good luck finding one of those!

frank280zx Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 ahum *cough* you had one in your hand friday *cough* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Who says it's not still in my hand NOW? Muahahahahahaha! And for the record, I think someone mentioned that somebody should put their Euro Turbo Distributor into someone's Distributor Machine to run an advance/retard map so people can set up their US Spec Distributors accordingly... Anybody remember that discussion, right before talking about JeffP's little spark plug environmental testing chamber...with someone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
