Andy,
A few comments on the L24E. This engine runs at 8.8:1 compression with a
fairly short duration but fairly high lift cam and the engine is designed to
run on 96RON. As this gives you a high compression pressure for the CR, it's
going to go like a dog on 6� and use more fuel than your going to save by
skimping on a few cpl, and worst of all unless you get the advance curve
regraphed it's going to detonate. I suggest that you run it on super, pulp
or optimax otherwise you're going to do serious damage for the sake of a few
cpl. We have a similar problem with the 3 litre 12 valve DOHC Toyota engine
in the Crown which is designed to run on 96 or 98RON but Nippondenso have a
very clever dizzy that has a 4� max advance limiter for 96RON. You could get
this done on the L24 dizzy by a dyno tuner that knows his dizzies, they just
put a well placed spot of weld to stop the breaker plate turning as far, and
then you can run the spec initial advance.

Subject: Timing on an L24E
Hey there,
My R30 runs an L24E and generally I would run it on PULP, and it goes just
fine with the timing at 10 degrees btdc. BUT recently, when petrol prices
went through the stratosphere, I decided I couldn't afford premium and just
started using standard unleaded. But now, the thing pings its tits off
every time it wants to go up a hill. I have tried bringing it down to 8
degrees, 6 degrees, even up to 12 etc, but I can't seem to completely fix
the problem. Any suggestions anyone?
Andy.
