brutus998 128 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Fuel % and timing are the difference. Even in Australia they have e9 in 525 and 610 hp versions. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The simple explanation, more timing advance the higher the HP and higher RPM needed to make it work. Running a lot of timing (19 plus degrees) at 1500-1800 is not good for pistons, rod bearings heads, bent rods and EGT. Not to mention a few rods airing out engine blocks (throwing a leg out of bed) Stock timing is 13-17 degrees depending on HP rating and year of production. The lower the timing advance the better the emissions but lack of power but easer on parts. The old 865/866 ran up to 31 degrees in stock settings. There were a lot of cracked heads, bad bearings, thrown rods and blown head gaskets on them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
