We have a car in the stable that has an old Haltech F7 for fuel management, and an old Electromotive crank fire ignition system, the car runs great.. Over 600hp..

Having said that, I would toss the Electromotive ignition, and opt in for the full Megasquirt system..

Gary,

This weekend I am implementing the crankfire ignition (EDIS), which is also controlled by Megasquirt. I also wanted to try this ignition system out and Tony was game to let me try it out on his engine........(success, it fired up, with little drama yesterday).

Thanksgiving weekend I will install this engine into Tony Otero's 911 (IROC clone) with a little help from my friends. Tony is the Beta tester and I'd like his feedback regarding the fit, finish and functionality.....and, after that design review, make the required changes. I have my drawings out for quotes, which I expect to receive in the next two weeks......this will allow me to provide a good price.

Thanks for the interest.

Feel free to email me at koz@x-faktory.com

Regards,

Al

I had an older Electromotive ignition, as well, and really liked it. It was simple and worked very well, but I am finding that Megasquirt offers a powerful combo of affordability and functionality. You do have to study up,(lots of functions and lots of of documentation, forums, support, etc.) to gain an understanding of how to program it, etc....but, once you overcome the learning curve.....it's a nice unit.

Regards,

Sound great Al. I most likely would go with a complete MS3.x system and their programmable ignition system using whatever coils/parts you guys come up with that works. The HPV-1seems to work fine but I don't like the flimsy dial setup and the old Webers are good (and valuable) but will never be as good as EFI..

Augustus,
Yea...I love that. I have a nice set of Keihins on the shelf. That's the direction I was headed, before the EFI bug struck, but I will go back and do those too.....in my spare time. I think that I've seen some other videos of that car on the street. Is that a Rauh Welt creation? Gotta love it. great DIY hotrod vibe.

Thanks,

Al

I must be missing something and so I've got to ask... What do you do about an air cleaner with those nice tall skyscrapers on top of the TB's? I've seen ITB's with and without air cleaners on top in photos. Are the ones without air cleaners just posing for pictures?

No, it's not you, it's me that missing something....air filters. I have several filter "socks" that I am looking at, including the very minimal snap on screens with circular foam filters. Although I love the look, and unimpeded airflow aspects, of the unfiltered stacks, I wouldn't suggest anyone run on the streets, for very long, in that condition. These things will suck in small dogs and low flying birds, etc. You need something to at least filter out the big chunks.

Regards,

Al

PS: I'll be posting the filter choice soon.
PSS: If you get over to the West side of the Cascades, stop on bye and check things out.

Thanks for the helping hand and the pix today James. Good times........ I'm beat now and medicating with a little vino, but I'll be back at it Monday morning and next Friday/Saturday. That last pic of Tony, propping the engine lid open, with the light emanating from the engine compartment is great.

Regards,

Al

BRAVO!!!!!

Absolutely beautiful work!!!

Seriously AL, let me know when u are taking 'deposits' for your kit and put me down for one. This is the system that i have been dreaming of for quite some time...a simple, cost effective ITB EFI set-up, true to the heritage and beauty of the RSR slide valve systems of old. Stunning!!!

BTW, did i mention that i am a Triumph fantatic? I often ride my trusty '98 T595 to work. This will allow me to combine both of my loves on a regular basis, LOL:D
