I'm trying to learn more about diesel combustion theory to help me get the best tune out of my Bosch VE IP. A friend has promised to lend me a good book on the subject but I want to cut right to the heart of the matter - timing. Specifically the effects of too much advance (or retard) on an IDI engine.
This specific query is born out of a post I read on this forum suggesting the application of 12v to the timing solenoid for more power (which is ECU controlled) but I think it might have been tongue in cheek as I suspect that too much advance at lower RPMs would be unwise and detrimental to the health of my engine? Perhaps a load/rpm based switch would work?
If someone could point me towards some (free) good reading or even describe the effects of diesel timing in this thread, I would be most grateful.
