009's in stock engines - performance or poo-formance?
Hi all,
Heres something I have been wondering for a while, but something came up during the week that made me ask this question....
I feel that the 009 in my 1200 has caused what little performance the engine had to turn to poo-formance...read on and see if you can help/suggest
anything....
I understand that the mechanical advance only style dissys have their place in the VW world - particularly in engines with BIG cams that have an
unstable vacuum signal at lower revs, but are they really the best alternative in standard (or near standard) engines?
My reason for asking this question is: I used to run an original style (big) dissy in my 1200 powered '63 bug. It worked fine, but the points
eventually required replacement. Upon enquiring about replacement parts I was told to 'stop mucking about with that shi...er...rubbish and stick an
009 in it' (to quote my brother, who works as a VW mechanic). I just happened to have a second hand 009 in a collection of stuff that I had been
given by a friend after he sold his VW collection, so I fitted it with a new set of points and a new condensor and dropped it into my 1200.
Yep - it runs, but it just doesn't seem to have the same torque as it did when it had the vac advance dissy in it - not that 1200's have a lot of
torque - which is just my point - when you have very little power/torque, any loss is noticed.
Initially I thought that it was just my perception so I left the 009 in the car. I still wondered just how good it was, but it ran reliably so ...if
it aint broke....
During the week, a friend of mine (and fellow forum member) reinstalled his 1200 in his car and had a few minor problems getting it to run reliably
(another story), during the fault finding process (done verbally, over the counter whilst I was making pizzas at work) he mentioned that his engine
seemed to be lacking something - ever since fitting the 009....hmmmm - sound familliar?
Has anyone else noticed this? I feel that the smaller engines really suffer when they don't have the vacuum advance as they appear to rely on the
changes in load (and manifold vacuum) to change the advance and therefore generate the torque that you REALLY need in the 1200/1300 engines.
I would be interested to hear what others have done in regards to this problem (no - I'm not interested in upgrading the size of the engine, so
don't even suggest it!) Is converting back to a mechanical and vacuum dissy the best way to go? Any particular model work better? Could I mod the
009 to give me better performance or should I just bin it?
Oh yeah, I should mention that I have tried a couple of different 009's in this car recently with no major change, so I don't believe that the 009
is faulty.
...or should I be looking somewhere else for the problem? Everything is adjusted to specs and the car is capable of sitting on 120km/h for hours (as
long as there are no hills!) so I feel that the engine is in good shape, but it just doesn't feel right....
OK, over to you - any suggestions greatfully recieved.
R 
PS: The car is still 6V and will be staying that way - if it was 12V it would have had my EFI/engine management system installed long ago which does
allow for spark maps to be changed, and it also takes into account engine load when calculating the spark timing....

Agree - 009's on stock engines lose the vacuum advance at low revs, thus (usually) losing a percentage of low end torque - this would be doubly more
noticable in a 1200.

First things first, did you time the 009 at full advance with a strobe, or statically? 009s cant be timed reliably statically as the quality of 009
dizzys variers considerably and you can get anything from 15 - 25* advance. Despite what people say, they are nowhere near as good as the stock dizzy
on a stock engine.
Its kind of a catch 22 with a mech adv dizzy, to advance the timing, the revs need to increase, but for the revs to increase the timing needs to be
advanced, hence the bad flat spots people encounter with 009s.
Time it to around 28-30* BTDC TOTAL advance at 3000rpm first and see how that goes, dont worry about the timing at idle as this is far less important
than the timing at full advance. usually it'll fall around 7-10* BTDC tho, mark that point on the pully and you can time it statically from there on.
Really tho if you have the choice between a stock dizzy and a 009...

I agree, ditch the 009, I have removed both from my stock VW engines and gone back to Vac advance after a few years of trying to get 009's to work
well in my application.

Thanks for your replys everyone!
You have all confirmed what I thought was the case - It is most likely that I would be better off with a standard dissy in place of the 009.
I think that the most interesting point here is what Chewy said:

|
...so, would I be correct if I said that the 009 is not really best suited to a VW engine at all (or is that a bit over the top?).
My reason for this statement is, from Chewys statement above, that the 009 does not cover the full ignition advance range for a 'normal' VW engine -
0 deg at idle to 30 deg max advance.....
I have been timing the ignition statically, but with a couple of degrees advance (ie: not at 0 deg) as it simply just didn't accellerate at a
driveable rate with it set to 0 deg. As it never (audibly) pinged with the ignition set a few deg advanced I have continued to use this timing point.
My brother tells me that he sets most engines ignition timing a couple of degrees advanced, regardless of the type of dissy fitted...
Thanks for that link Nige, I'll go now and have a close read of that page....
Next time I have my '63 at home (its not stored at my place) I will have a close look at exactly what the maximum advance is and make the necessary
adjustments to achieve 30 deg maximum advance - then I will see what difference that makes. After this, I will replace the 009 with a vac and mech
advance dissy and repeat the test. I'll let you know what happens.

...just had a read of that page - pretty much agrees with everything said here already...glad I'm not suffering from that flat spot they are talking
about at the end of the blurb on the 009

Well thats why you have to set the timing at full adavnce with a 009.
Ie if the 009 you have makes 20* advance, when timed with the strobe for the proper timing of 30* at 3000RPM the timing at idle will fall at around
10BTDC.
10 + 20 = 30* total adavnce at 3000 rpm.
Even if your engine is supposed to run at 0*BTDC at idle, you have to live with it at 10 BTDC, its is much more important to have the correct timing
at 4000 RPM pulling a big hill than it is sitting at the traffic lights at idle.
Saying all this tho my 1300SP with 009 and 30-pict 2 with a bit richer jetting actually runs very well with barely a flat spot, and the static timing
falls around 7.5 BTDC which is stock nn[ Edited on 7-7-2005 by Chewy ]

I run a 009 on a 1600 with bugspray carby.static timed to 10 degree advanced.Some adjusting of the idle was needed but seems to go ok.Doesn't ping
and flat spot was removed by tuning the carby in.

Thanks for saving me the effort of replying Tim :P 
I haven't had a chance to try re-setting the timing or changing to a mechanical/vac advance dissy yet, but I have found half a dozen mech/vac adv.
dizzys in my shed whilst I was cleaning up during the week...I didn't even know I had them - It was like Christmas...so much interesting stuff!
Hopefully I will have a chance to try my experiment next weekend....

I noticed a very similar decline in performance of my 40hp in my old bug when a 009 was fitted - along with the dreaded flat spot. I did go back to
the stock dizzy and was amazed at how much better it ran and accelerated.
I say 009 on stock engine (esp 1200) = poo-formance
On a 1500, I would be tempted to still stay with stock dizzy as well - if timed effectively there is no reason why the vac advance dizzy (stock) will
be holding the "performance" of the 1500 back.

Hmm interesting thoughts here.
It is a common thing for legions of engine tuners/mechanics to add extra advance as some engines seem to respond well.
However, with the F-Vees, (1200cc) we find that advancing the ignition anything beyond 30Deg (total) altho making the engine idle very smoothly,
simply kills mid range torque and high revs. I made a fundamental tuning error in my Vee which uses a Scat twin point dizzy where i re-set points
thaqt had closed up down to 0.014" back to 0.020" and neglected to re-set the timing. needless to say the engine was a pig and I was being hosed by
cars that i knew i could blow by easily. No amount of jetting or fiddling helped and as i had already set the timing (previous to altering the points
dwell) on the morning of the race day, I never reconsidered that.........fewl!
it turned out to have about 36Deg of ignition and that was enough to simply kill the engine. It did idle very smoothly tho.............
To get them to make good midrange and top end power we retard the ignition, usually to 28Deg. @3000rpm. Much less than this results in them pulling a
tree again.
The 1220 engines are surprisingly touchy to ignition advance but regardless of where the ignition is set, the very low down power remains pretty much
unchanged Ie: not much!!
As suggested before, the total ignition advance may be waaay over 30 Deg and this seems to kill any mid-range punch which is the type of power you
tend to "feel" (and miss)!
Try the timing light at 3000rpm option first before dismissing the mechanical advance distributers first.

BTY.
I used a 009 before the Scat twin point and another mechanical dizzy before that in my 2 vees and have never had a drama with flatspotting, at any RPM
apart from dead cold as we remove the choke assemblies from the carbs.

...and the results are in!
OK Volks,
I have spent a couple of hours over the last couple of days experimenting with my collection of dissys and this is what I have found:
Firstly, I checked the timing of my 009 that was already fitted. I had statically timed it in the past to the left hand side of the 'block' in the
centre of the crankcase. Never checked the advance at revs. I used my flashy new timing light to see what the full advance figure was - exactly 30
deg! What a fluke!
I then advanced the timing (at revs) to 34 deg - couldn't really feel any difference around town, but once over 90km/h (our local stretch of freeway
is 110km/h) the engine felt rough and lacked power. I did notice that the snap on/off when changing the throttle position was greatly reduced -
perhaps this was a very minor flatspot?
I then created a vac only dissy from a collection of old dissys and fitted it to the car. I statically timed the ignition to the same place as I had
done initially with the 009 (which is 7 deg for those of you who are interested) and turned the key. The engine ran incredibly smoothly at idle!
Upon driving the car, it appeared to have plenty of power around town...except at full throttle. I wanted to take it out onto the freeway and give it
a test, but unfortunatly the wiring to the condensor broke off as I was heading towards the freeway and I had to bodge it back together just to get
home. I did notice (before the wiring broke) that the engine seamed to lack in its 'engine braking' capability - ie: it didn't slow down as
fast....
Next I located a vac and mechanical advance dissy - one with both a vac advance and retard. It was complete and even the vac part was working. I
fitted it and statically timed the ignition the same as mentioned above. The engine definatly ran smoother at idle than when the 009 was fitted, but
was rougher than the vac only dissy. Around town the engine pulled strongly (as strong as a 1200 can :duh), and the change from on to off the
throttle was smooth, unlike the 009. Once on the freeway I was faced with a headwind, however the engine happly pushed the car beyond the 110km/h
speed limit and was still climbing when I backed off. It felt smooth and I feel drives much better than the 009.
Suffice to say that the 009 has ended up in my box of used dissys and the vac/mech dissy is still fitted.
There is one more dissy that I would like to try (one day) - a scat/mallory mech advance only dissy. It's missing the points, rotor button and cap,
but I'm sure that this can all be found. Don't know if it would be any better than the vac/mech dissy that is fitted now, but it would still be
interesting.
Just an interesting side note: Whilst I was doing all this experimenting I mentioned to my Brother (who works as a VW mechanic here on the Gold
Coast) what my intensions were...not sure if he had had a bad day, but he told me in no uncertain terms (this is the editied, 'PG' version) that I
was wasting my time with a dissy that uses a vac advance mech as it is very hard to find a working second hand unit and new ones are a crazy price
here in Australia. He also said that if I was to go ahead with my time wasting experiment, then publish the results on the internet that I should
make a point of saying that a working 009 will out perform any incorrectly operating vac/mech dissy....I doubt that any of you are that stupid that
you would think otherwise, but there it is Dave, just for you!
(My Brother doen't own a computer so therefore will never see this, so feel free to say what you like about him! )
So, after all that, is that what you expected to see?
Does anyone know where you can get a reasonably priced NEW vac/mech dissy? Are replacement vac units available for the vactory fitted units?

Good read Ratty
What you have determined here is what the F-Vee fraternity have known for about 40 years now is that the 1200cc stock engine is surprisingly touchy to
ignition advance and the old fashioned thinking of "just wind her up a couple of degrees on stock" is just a red herring.
Secondly, Mallory/Scat dizzy parts are very common and quite cheap and available at just about any speed shop.
There are only 1 set of points and 1 rotor button for pretty much the entire range of points dizzies and there are only about 3 variations of dizzy
cap for 4 cylinder dizzies.
I built mine with all the bits off the shelf here in Hobart.
An advantage of the Scat/Mallory is that you can alter your initial advance and centrifugal spring tensions for smoothest low down running and
progression without affecting you maximum advance setting for higher speed running.
The Scat made the biggest difference to my Vee.

Great read and info Ross.
I have a 009 in my twin port 1600 and a vac/mech advance in the boot which I am going to try aswell so it will be interesting to see if the same
things happens .

my single port 1600 has a 009 and it was horrendous when i bought the thing. so far out of tune it wasnt funny but after rebuilding the carby and
tuning it all nice and resetting points and doing timing it runs pretty well with no flat spot. however ive never had a different dissy on this engine
before so i cant compare. my 1600 twin port engine runs great with its stock dissy but ive never had a 009 on it.

I was there when ross and dave where talking about this and ross you sugar coated that big time i think dave just says chuck a 009 in and be done with
it cause i dont think he would intend on driving one for more than a work test run, you know what he's like it a type 4 or its a paper weight, good
way to be really
You only need two tools
Wd40 if it don't move and it should
Duct tape if it move's and it shouldn't

Great read and info Ross.
I have a 009 in my twin port 1600 and a vac/mech advance in the boot which I am going to try aswell so it will be interesting to see if the same
things happens .

Sounds interesting Marc, can't wait to see your results - I would also be interested to see what you max advance is currently with the 009.
What carb are you using with the 009?

i can t speak from experience just yet, but i have a 009 on my t4, with compufire dis-ix electronic ignition.
i have been told that an 050 is a better fit for my engine, and one day (cars not done yet) i would like to change the two over and compare.
i also have a msd billet, but thats another story (or engine....
..... just wait a few years)

...heres a giggle for you....
...in passing conversation last week my brother mentioned that he will be removing the 009 in his Baja (2.1 litre Type IV with FI) and replacing it
with a vac/mech dissy because the 009 is causing the engine to ping and flat spot.... I still have the teeth marks in my tongue from biting it so that
I didn't give him a serve after what he said to me...!
