Hi Martin, do you need both items when using a megasquirt ECU? just 4 coils at $45 is quite affordable, stick another $156 on the bill stings a bit. Best regards Mike Hello Mike. No, the bottom "Coil Interface Module" that sits under the coil blaster, you actually not have to use. It's ju...

Hello Martin nice looking car, unusual and subtle very nice. A quick question or three, the MSD coil packs on the car, where did you get them? do you remember about how much they were? and do you have a part number for them? I think they may be the answer to my ignition system ! Best regards Mike H...

Yes it did take most of a winter and spring to make the conversion here. I thought it would go much faster. But when it was finally finished, I was satisfied with result. but when you make such a project here, then time does not matter :D It just needs to be tuned in now to be completely finished 8)...

It is more than welcome.
I am looking forward to trying it.

Phill, maybe you can mail it to me?

Hello. I know I can not get something complete map for my engine that just will work perfectly. But it will give me a good start to tune further on Of course, the ignition map and VE map have to be adjusted further But it's still easier than a blank map for me when I know that it has been running on...

hi. I'm not so good at all the settings yet, in megasquirte. So I'm hoping there is one here who could help with a complete program from his RV8 preferably 3.9. As I can adjust redirected from, so it will fit my engine. This makes it all a little easier for me. I know no program from any other engin...

It doesnt sound implausible, but I got it not when the engine gets some rpm. only when the engine was hot. but the last few days i havent heard the sound, weird. But perhaps in Pete case. But when I think about it, if a lifter is pumped over then the valve can of course not close completely again. i...

3 good sets, just send one set to Denmark.

Regarding oil pressure, how much should it lie on with warm, and cold engine, in psi or bar?

Damn, I'm jealous :shock: In Denmark, we may only increase HP with max 20% if you can comply with all pollution requirements. On my old Opel born with 90 Hp. there are some other rules because it is so old "1969" it is still very difficult to get permission to get over the 20% but it can b...

It's really nice of you to have made ​​some video of it. This is exactly that sound my engine was doing. But I think I will check my rokers after all. As DaveMGB wrote. But you had them checked, or change them? Ps. a very fine Minor with a cool engine. :) Is it okay in England just like that, to bui...

to update about my problem. I would try to check my manifold gaskets here today. But when I started it and let it heat up, there was just no ticking noises, I took a drive in her, but still no ticking? weird. Now I have run several times in her, where nothing has been. There was just one time today ...

I admit that I haven`t checked the manifold leak, because It dont sound like that, more a metallic sound.
I will look in to it and hope it will solve my problem.
Thanks for your advice, appreciate it
Ill be back

The ticking here is too loud to come from a manifold leak, so I dont think thats the problem.
To me it sounds like its noisy lifters tappits \ ticking.
But they are new.

Yes my English is not good sorry. certainly not in car language

Hello England :D Now I have gradually worked a lot on my problem without success. so I hope I can get some help here. My problem is that my engine has a metallic ticking sound " only when its hot " that follows rpm. The first thing I did was change my lifters with a new set, I figured that...

I thought 4.6 cylinder heads have larger ports / valves, and that they fit straight onto my engine.
But okay, then my older just have to be ported, once.
The Crowe 50232 cam, is I also been recommended to use. by paul V8tuner.co.uk for my setup.
