Описание книги

The pace at which technology progresses within the motor industry can be incredibly fast. What may have seemed an almost insurmountable problem in the late 80s and early 90s and therefore a major achievement when resolved, would now seem a minor inconvenience due to the advances made in component technology. Aston Martin Engine Development thoroughly details the design and development of Aston Martin engines including the 580X Vantage, the Virage, and the V8 Coupe. In particular it focusses on the twin supercharged 32 valve Vantage engine – an engine which set new standards, being the most powerful production car engine in the world at the time of its release in 1992. Illustrated with photographs from that time and including power and torque curves, this book provides a unique look into a period of Aston's history, written by one of the key men involved in making it happen. It gives an insight into life at the AM factory at Newport Pagnell; an understanding of the benefits of Supercharging at the time of manufacture; and a historic record of engine design, development and production that would otherwise have been lost to time.Aston Martin Engine Development will appeal to Aston Martin owners and enthusiasts and to anyone else with an interest in engines and high-performance cars.

Initially I would concentrate on three positions, zero, 4.6 and 50.5 degrees on the metering unit. Zero, 2.5 and 40 degrees throttle respectively. If these positions are correct then all other check positions should fall into place.

Ensure that all pointers read zero and that throttles are closed on the stops with no free play and also that the metering unit is on its closed stop. Adjust the throttle setting tool via the knurled nut to open the throttle to 4.6 degrees metering unit and 2.5 degrees throttle. If this is not correct, recheck the zero setting and also that all three pointers start to move at the same time. Continue to open the throttle to give 50.5 degrees on the metering unit. The throttle indicator pointer should show that both throttles are 40 degrees open. If this is not so, release the lock nuts and adjust the double-ended (left- and right-hand thread) throttle rods, each side to double the error (i.e., if the reading is 42 degrees then double this to read 44 degrees, or if 38 degrees adjust to 36 degrees, and retighten the lock nuts). Adjust the tool to return the metering unit to zero on its closed stop and release the clamp bolt on the outer throttle levers and reset the throttles to zero on the stops, with no free play.
