scooters Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Just now, Roman said: There's an offset in the ECU, and you set it up with a timing light. You dont need to have the angle exactly right. right. Thanks for that. It just sounds so logical to do it with a timing light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 Coil packs new don't cost much either. I just used a secondhand pack from a misti. Take a spare on long journeys if you're worried but really.. anything could can fail on your car if you start stressing about perceived reliability. Proper full efficient engine management for the win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kws Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 These are cheap as anything and easy to wire up. They are smart coils so have integrated ignitor. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ignition-Coil-032905106-032905106B-221603006-221603009-for-VW-Audi-Seat-Skoda/162859466227?hash=item25eb2e3df3:g:vNwAAOSwEVZaYXV2&vxp=mtr Only issue is needing custom leads as the terminals on the coil end are similar to LS1, but not really an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Can anyone recommend an ignition only system for my V-TWIN scooter im switching to mikuni flatslide carby's soon. I have a 12v charging system onboard now to run the fuel pump and other bits and pieces. at present it's just magneto's so no ignition curve and its only setup to run to 3800rpm. Planning to use this engine in a small jetboat eventually so a well setup ignition to match with more revs will be needed. Looking at a Megajolt anyone used this setup?

Transom Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Is megajolt cheap somewhere ? When I looked at ignition only systems they were more expensive than fuel and ignition megasquirt is this a job for speeduino ? Or can you just rig 2 x cdi units onto it ?

scooters Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I did my time with Holden I am bias. But I really do think these coils are good. x1 coil per plug is pritty sweet. LS1 coils are shit hot and to be honest not that much more work than running 1 coil. and inbuilt ignitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickJ Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 We can forgive you for narrow tyres and not bowing to peer pressure on cut springs, but I get the feeling after a full page voting down the distributor you better follow the pack on this one 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Nah bugger off kewnt. I'll just keep it how it is for about 10 years. I'd probably never save enough fuel to financially justify ecu controlled ignition. Will be more of a "I'm bored, I have nothing else to do on anything. I may as well do something like that to appease people" thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Dude, it'll cost you like $50 to do. If you're not switching to computer controlled ignition you might as well stick with carbs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 A cheaper option than the BIP373 for additional ignition drivers for those of you adding to a MS / whatever else, although you do have to buy 5. https://nz.rs-online.com/mobile/p/igbt-transistors/8648899/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlownCorona Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 There is no valid reason for not putting coil packs on it. Either build a concours car and put the carb back on or install modern computer ignition and reap the benefits of an old car with modern reliability.

Well it has electronic ignition, so there shouldn't really be any issue with reliability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
