Hi all
Wondering how high people have been able to set their timing on the tb42/e engines. I've just set mine to 15degrees BTDC and it has made a world of difference. Throttle feels crisp and responsive and the engine pulls a lot harder. Doesn't feel like it's surging as much either, it's just power instead. I run nothing less than 95 octane and will test it for a week just to make sure I don't get any pinging, so far so good. Will try further if all is good.
Thanks for reading all
Andy
IMO and should be taken with a grain of salt.
did it affect your available top speed or affect the wind up to top speed ?
the one thing wrong with middle age ...is knowing you will grow out of it !

Cheers BA! I will try further in a week, see how it goes. Do the tb42e engines have knock sensors??
