Diesel Tuning - Ignition Advance.....

Does Ignition advance work in the same way in Diesels – As it does for Petrols?

lol - Good point,

...But can the Timing be advanced? i.e. to give you more power etc..?

or do you just squit in the diesel earlier etc..?

1. Advancing the ignition does not give you more power unless you are doing it to use a higher octane fuel in a petrol car.

2. Diesels until recently use auto ignition, which cannot be re-timed. Some of the high pressure injection engines inject the fuel at the point of firing/s, this could be altered, but there would be no advantage to pre-ignition.

Cool

But squirting the injectors that little bit earlier - Would that give you more power?

Changing the injectors can increase bhp, I got 30bhp more.

How? and what car?

In Diesels - The fuel is what gives power - So if you chuck in more, it will give you more power.

I believe if you put in more fuel - You need to uP the boost accordingly

This also help clear up the smoke...
