Hi there,
I have only recently bought the car and i think the guy had messed about the timing.... he fitted a new cam belt an possibly has timed up to standard. The dizzy was rotated completely clockwise??? why would he do this?
It has a piper CVH285T2 cam kit.... what timing should i run for this?
The car has lots of lag, is a rough tick over, is this cam a bit too much for road do you think?
can any one suggest a better cam, im looking for low end and mid range power to help with lag..
Thanks very much
Rob,

Nothing special to note mate, as I said above whip the vac hose off the goes from the inlet manifold to the ECU and block the inlet manifold off (ECU doesnt need to be blocked you can just leave the hose hanging whilst you set the timing), and set it to 12BTDC with a strobe (paint on the pulley cut out and the 0 mark on the cam belt lower cover, which is the biggest of the 4 marks).
If you have a vernier pulley on the end of your cam just set that to 0, because every engine is different there is no right or wrong place for it, it's just so your tuner can play on the RR and see if it makes more power one way or the other.
Yes I have just fitted a Newmans mate.
