Getting bosch 1600's to idle

[mark4g63t]

I like the "race car" feel. lol, definitely not a Caddy by ANY means. I want it to remind me that I built it whenever I get in it.
So in general timing isn't anything to be too concerned about? Should I Start with the 2g stock timing table? Right now mine is set to about 13* ramping up to 16*
As you can tell I'm a little paranoid since switching to E85. Give me a week or so for the nerves to go away.:joint2:


Tachyon: I'll definitely change my timing to a lower value.

Well I'm currently on the look out for some 1050's or 1150's. Would these still be suitable for e85 on a 20g? Blake has a set of bluemax 1050's I can get if they will work.

They should be fine on a 20g. I am running 1050's with my ef1 on e85 at 75% duty cycle. I used the smallest injectors I thought I could get away with so I could get the best idle and cruise quality.

I want to make around 4-450 at DB. Will they be suitable for that? I'd be happy with high 3's low 4's tho.

You will need more than a 20g for 400-450whp at DB.

Alright so i'm going to try some 1050's after work tonight and hopefully they do the trick. I'll post back once they are in and idling/ cruising.

But what if its BILLET!!

[mark4g63t]

I Wish! lol. I'd truly be happy with anything over 350. My goal is 400-450 dd.

Then it will probably fail during or soon after tuning.

lol. Good to know. I posted a new log on some 1050's I got. Tremendous difference it made! idle and cruise is like my 650's, maybe even a little better.
