dusty_ben 143 Posted February 2, 2016 Looking into building a cheap skid pig with my younger brother. Anyone modified a Xf dizzy to suit a 4litre? Does it work? Cheers dover Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slydog 7,873 Posted February 2, 2016 Old Gaz has and I think you flip the dizzy gear over on em or if you are going to use a MSD of ANY kind which would seriously help the car use a EL TFI dizzy and MSD and you have a locked hall's effect dizzy ready to kill tyres. Or the other guys will tell you to get a programmable and do timing curves for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Outback Jack 6,352 Posted February 2, 2016 Dizzy gear flipping a crossy dizzy gear to fit the dizzy to a 4L...... very bad idea. Everytime I see this done they end up farkin the oil pump drive. They are not the same. Use a 4L dizzy and a programmable MSD 6AL2. Thats if you want to run carby and be done with the factory computer. Base timing for 4L is always 10btdc, so you can go from there. Unsure how far advanced they will go standard before they ping. Sure someone here can tell ya. Personally, if its a skid pig find something like a crossy or earlier V8 and save yaself a lot of $$$ and farkin around. Jack.

slydog 7,873 Posted February 3, 2016 Good info there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ando76 4,354 Posted February 3, 2016 Yep. I'd stick with the 4.0l dizzy and make it talk to an MSD. Locked or programmable. Those 4.0l go pretty hard. Had an injected one in the (very) old skid pig. Actually still have it. I used ef bottom end, Au vct head and broadband manifold (it was a pvan so it had log) re-ground big lumpy stick and had chip torque do a custom chip for it. Man it went hard. About to give it to pogo but we will convert it to carb as above. I already have an aussiespeed 4.0l manifold here. 1 matt_lamb_160 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slydog 7,873 Posted February 3, 2016 That dude is trying to sell that carb and manifold for the same price again ay. Something fishy there I reckon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ando76 4,354 Posted February 3, 2016 Same fella you sent the link to ages ago? In Brisbane. Hmm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dusty_ben 143 Posted February 3, 2016 Just saw the Aussie speed exchange dizzy a are cheaper than I remember. Might just buy one of those. We have everything to build it at home. Low km au shirt motor. Massively ported tickford head. Ea manifold modified for a 350. Extractors so might just chuck it together n hope for the best. Just gotta sort out a auto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slydog 7,873 Posted February 4, 2016 Put a 4 barrel on it bro. They flow better than a ported xflow head so no point choking em up. 2 Thom and Outback Jack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ando76 4,354 Posted February 4, 2016 Plus 1 on robs comment. That 350 and manifold will kill it up top, which is where every good skid car lives 2 Outback Jack and Thom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wagoon 2,429 Posted February 4, 2016 +2 on both the above. For a skid pig you might as well set it up for top end not low down so a 350 is just not going to cut it 1 Outback Jack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ando76 4,354 Posted February 4, 2016 They restrict us to a 350 Holley and visually standard manifold in modifies sedans for a reason. They know if we were allowed 4 barrels and a decent manifold - no one would catch us. Fletch beat 60 of the biggest and best cars in the country at the recent kings Royal in Kingaroy. A $10,000 pay day. Imagine if he was allowed to run a four barrel. Hence my agreement with Rob. 1 ricktewagon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dusty_ben 143 Posted February 4, 2016 I habe everything to run 350 ATM n the brother is a first year apprentice do can't justify the expense unless we find a cheap second hand one. I agree 100% to what I guys are saying though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
revhead 1,392 Posted February 5, 2016 Just use the stock e series dizzy run the stock coil n simply delete the efi its not that hard the dizzy only supplies the spark . the efi is timed off it so .u really only need to remove efi an fit carb n manifold yul be fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
