I know that this is a subject that has discussed so much already, but to search through all the other postings is not helping me much! so here goes.....

i am using an a12 block, gx head , gx intake with adapter to an 40mm weber IDA, turbocharger from a 2.8ltr mitsubishi diesel, 2'' exhaust from front to back with 1 freeflow box, planned to run 0.5 bar.....

I have a standard dizzy with a pertronix ignitor kit inside of......

I NEED HELP WITH...
What you guys have done with you dizzy's for a turbo setup with regards to the weights inside, what degrees you guys have found to be good performance +/-

And a formula for jetting carbs or anything you guys might think is valuable?!?!?!

thanks

Careful with the diesel turbo, the seals arent as good as a normal turbo, you mights want to try and find a decent T25 designed for a petrol motor.

i had my dizzy converted at a distributor specialist to have boost retard instead of vacuum advance

worked quite well... a good start would be to at least pull the top out of the dizzy and weld up the mechanical advance

i pressume this was done by the distributor specialist to the first dizzy, but i did it later to my own elec dizzies

there seems to be a hell of a lot of dissagreements on the topic of distributor setup and turbos..... tread carefully.

In the end you are just trying to stop it detonating from the distributor advancing to much.
