CHESTNUTXE 7,311 Posted December 4, 2018 well i would say its the rate of advancing is why,you need to bring more timing in quicker just depending on what dizzy you have,plus std diff gears is gunna be slow as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dane1616 9 Posted December 4, 2018 Yer I thought It might need to be advanced I have read that the au 5.0 run a base timing of 30 degrees but wasn’t to sure. I using a proflow (ready to run) dizzy and diff gears are 3.45 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHESTNUTXE 7,311 Posted December 4, 2018 just give an exaple most people would say around 12 to 15 base timing but mine needs about 19 deg and total of 29 deg,which gives 10 deg advance ,all engines are different ,dont think a au std cam would be that big ,and 3.45 is heaps of gearing for that engine,that 30 deg base would be thru a ecu if correct,the dizzy you have is vac advance ?

Dane1616 9 Posted December 4, 2018 Yer that correct the 30deg is efi and yer vac advance dizzy ill bump the dizzy to 18-19 and see how I go thanks for the info 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHESTNUTXE 7,311 Posted December 4, 2018 total timing is more important ,32,34 deg ,try 18 or so and bring revs up and check with timing light,then lay down a rubber road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dane1616 9 Posted December 4, 2018 To set total timing with the vac disconnected? And at what sort of rpm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CHESTNUTXE 7,311 Posted September 20, 2019 hey i might just buy that nice au ltd engine ,i no for a fact it has only done 90,000km because i saw the car it came in,a mint LTD with a prang in the left front(probly repairable but too expensive for a insurance to fix,i have pictures of it somewhere here on oz falc,only thing i am concerned about is these gt 40p heads,lets say chuck it in a xf what headers do you need ,there is differance between normal 302 and gt40 heads some spark plug angle differance,maybe there is a trick .

CHESTNUTXE 7,311 Posted November 14, 2019 yeah 3 or 4 lines,ok so a dizzy is no prob,what about getting rid of the crank trigger thing and buying a 50 oz balancer to suit or does that stuff just unbolt,i was thinking just normal style pulley set up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can get a standard style 50oz balancer easy for them. Sounds like you are doing what I did.

NZXD 2,328 Posted November 14, 2019 If you go for a standard style pulley set up, you will have to consider the water pump as the efi motors run opposite rotation. What accessories will you run?

Thom 6,651 Posted November 16, 2019 why are you pulling it apart? are you planning to make any changes to it? if you want to use a larger cam you need to retrofit the e series dog bones as the plastic lifter guides have a limited amount of space for lifrt 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
