The V8 Owners Forum -

Going to treat the twin turbo sd1 engine to some new leads and rotor arm what would you suggest? Standard parts or some aftermarket ones?

Cheers

yes its suck through, i will have a fiddle with the timing tonight i think.

3.5 rover v8 Twin carbs Max 8psi boost Fuel king set at 4.5psi Thicker head gaskets to drop comp down slightly Car runs and drives ok and when revs get up it sets off like its ass is on fire,I'm just waiting on local rolling road to be installed then I can get it booked in,welding some extra length ...

Right folks I need to set the timing on my car now I've come back to it after a few months break,what settings would you recommend?

The actual crimped body of sender is weeping

At minute I've got 10-40 in car running in then I'm putting halfords classic 20-50 in it do you think that will stop the bloody thing leaking dave?

right folks,ive managed to get hold of a strobe gun that works now so im going to see what the timing is set at. not done this since 1991 when they sent me to college from school for a week!!!!! so whats best/easiest way to set it up? i know i need to remove and plug the advance tube,i can seee the ...

On a draw through system the dizzy vacuum advance pipe should be connected to the stub on the carb that it was originally connected to before you fitted the turbos.

Well it's still not working, borrowing a strobe tomorrow night to check it out.

After a chat with bob I'm now wondering if torque converter is locking?..

Bloody cars.......

tonight is going to look like this

Blank off carb breathers
Blank gearbox mod at manifold
Blank brake servo at manifold
Borrow a timing light to see what it's set at
Place hands together
Pray

Try again

Hopefully jump with joy
