I live in Louisville,KY. I drive a 914. I need some help, I've owned this car for three years and i'm working on getting this to work out well for me. I started with ****NO**** mechanical/auto experience at all. I've come a long way but still need more help.
I need someone to talk to who knows these aircooled engines. I'd love to just say "f it" and drive it till it breaks, but i'm afraid thats not a option for me. I'd love to enjoy a reliable car. Here is what I did: timing set to 30 degrees at 3500RPM Tunable L-Jet installed (problem here is no baseline) Dakota Digital CHT (self-compensating) regular fuel 1.7L engine -------------- Any constructive help would be appreciated. Telling me to get a Honda is not constructive, just in case if anybody was wondering. |

why did you decide to time it at 30 degrees @3500 with L-jet? i don't know if it makes any difference, but d-jet is 27@3500 and l-jet is about 7.5 @ 900

QUOTE(type47 @ Nov 9 2006, 02:49 PM)  why did you decide to time it at 30 degrees @3500 with L-jet? i don't know if it makes any difference, but d-jet is 27@3500 and l-jet is about 7.5 @ 900 the more important number is max advance....if the dizzy rotates 22.5° then at max advance, he should be spot on at 900 rpms I'm not sure why he "tweaked" the L-jet....the demands of the 1.7 should be close enough to the demands of a "bus" 2.0 engine for the AFM to know how much air is being pulled into the engine.... I'd never recommend a Honda for you...I think a Hyundia with a 100K mile warr. is a better choice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) |
