Re: [DML] Re: delorean fuel




No - that's what "advance" is. The time it takes fuel to burn in the 
cylinders is exactly the same regardless of engine speed (roughly). 
Therefore the faster the engine is spinning, the earlier you have to 
light up the air/fuel mixture. The mission is to light up the mixture 
such that the point when it reaches the maximum expansion, the piston is 
exactly halfway down on the downstroke. However to achieve this, you 
light up the mixture BTDC or before top dead centre..

Have a read of the articles at www.pumaracing.co.uk for some excellent 
explanations of stuff like this. Specifically
