my mates just stuck a piper 285t2 cam to his rst thats running 16psi GRS blah blah

the dizzy timing is on std marks and when he comes on boost now the car is boosting but not going ie shows 16psi sounds like its doing 16psi but not and heating up quick.

then he twisted the dizzy towards the back of engine and its made a big differnce does anyone know the best angle for this to be at his cam timing is std marks also.
its std comp also

 

Roosie, that needs setting up properly. Sounds like a cobbled together effort. I would say that the Cambelt is on wrong.

 

I agree, if the cam is a high lift then its going to be out on standard marks so advancing the spark via the dizzy will make a difference but not the correct way, so more than likely needs a vernier pulley and to be timed up properly

 

unless he gets a vernier and a proper set up next thing he'll be buying is a new engine after he either melts a piston or a valve

 

Aaaaah, but at least he'll be content in the knowledge that he 'did it himself'!!

 

well ive told him so its up to him

 

Roosie just thrash it till it goes bang, then he has to do it!!
tabetha

Yes it will, especially with LEAD FOOT ROOSIE driving it!!
