I have instaled a C turbo in General Granite. I am installing a pyro but it is not here yet.
I have not changed the timing yet, but some threads say to leave it wear it is.
So if I have it change the timing could someone post some pictures of how to do this.
And if I should leave the timing like it is, could someone tell me the reasoning for not changing the timing.
Thanks

I actually saw the truck (I ended up with the bed in the pic) and I seem to remember it had a turbo. It's been awhile so I could be wrong though.

Edit: I went back and looked at the pic. Small stack. That would indicate NA.


If that's the case, I'd set the timing to whatever a mutifuel turbo engine sets at according to the TM.

No it was a non-turbo so I installed a C turbo which has cut down the smoke and noise tremendously. I'm just not sure about advancing the timing on it. Some say to do it and others say not to. I will be installing a muffler as well. When I got General Granite it was a pretty plain deuce with a few suspension and electrical modifications and no engine modifications.
