Re: tell me about a good generic linear TPS

I replaced the throttle switch on my 93 1.8L mx5 with a throttle position sensor from a Subaru liberty rs turbo, they are almost a direct replacement for the mx5 switch, only modification being I had to tap two threads into the side of the throttle body, if that helps

Re: kettering system help

Just been reading up on optical triggers and it sure looks like it, but still doesn't answer the question of what wire I should connect pin 24 to, I have narrowed it down to either the g/y or g/b wire coming off the crank sensor

Re: kettering system help

Cheers for the info, sorry for the long period between replies, the wire would have to go to the crank angle sensor I have inside the distributor, correct? Alternatively can I get away with just wiring up to control the coil directly and leave it at that?

different flow rate for injectors

hey guys, i am currently making a tune for my nissan exa, and was wondering what would happen if i entered a larger flow rate for my injectors? would it just end up starving the engine of petrol? or would it actually work? Im sure its a dumb question but it had me thinking

Hel[ with kettering system

Hey guys, have decided to go away from the quad coil setup, just seems a bit to complex for me atm, I was reading the megamanual earlier on how to set up ms2 on a kettering system, and admit i am still a bit confused, would i be getting a trigger from the cas and controlling the coil directly? or ...

thats a very good point, it is on the cards to go a wasted spark setup, would be interesting to find out how difficult it would be to get it set so i can run individual spark without a cam sensor, maybe 4 trigger's on a trigger wheel or something similar

quad coil not wasted spark on 4 cylinder

Hey guys, am busy investigating ignition system's for my 84 exa, and was wondering if I was to use to quad spark ignition driver, that i could simply run single spark plug leads from each cylinder to each coil and have ms2 control the spark?
