Advanced timing and knocking

[RRdstr]

Hey, thanks for the technical clarifications Matt . . . I've obviously got lots to get a proper handle on . . . I take your point about back to back runs being the absolute test.
Yup, mine is a stocky 1.6, with the only real mod, the fuel catalyst that enables the 16 degree BTDC timing setting on the regular ULP, so any variation from basic would be because of the timing setting I would think. I'm not really chasing max RWKw, but rather mid range driveability, and economy.

economy? how are you going to get economy with a right foot like yours?
yes i still remember you in my rear view mirror

capitalised on the economy to get to the GC and back . . . definitely not worrying about it while trying to stick to your tail Eric . . . great memories . . . thank you again . . .

I have another friend who swears by the catalyst as well - he's shown me his dyno results immediately before and after he fitted the catalyst, but he also had a fresh set of Iridiums put in at the same time (hrmm ). Couple of kW difference on his turbo Chaser.

Still reserving judgement on this one though.

I remember seeing a story on this on today tonight:

They talk about the Fitch Fuel Catalyst... I guess it works the same way...
