You'll also likely need a tach adaptor and USB to serial adaptor.

I just bought a second hand set from a guy @ my landrover club x-rover.
I have no idea wath TPS or Map is ?

Agreed. I have a MegaJolt on my 4.6V8. It is basically the kit above, but with the following differences: - Triggered by the flywheel rather than a trigger-wheel - MegaJolt modified to automatically switch maps when switching between petrol and LPG. You have to map a MegaJolt - that is how it does ...

Much much much much better!! You cant compare the 2, the MegaJolt is a wasted spark solution which will allow the coils to fully saturate before they discharge. The other is a waste (of money) Im afraid, Phil Ok thanks for the input, with a normal distributor you have vacuum advance, how is this do...

Anyone has used this kit on a Range Rover 3.5 lpg V8 ?
Is this better then the rpi kit with a&r amplifier ?
The vehicle is used 4 offroad.

I have powerspark leads on my v8 and i think they are causing the problems on my engine, the coil died after 2 weeks of service so i am thinking the leads (about a year old) could be also bad.

my dads old carb'd 3.5 v8 in a rangerover had some sort of emissions control gubbins on it that recirculated exhaust gases somehow through those ports. i cant remember how it works but i know when the little pipes broke it sounded awful.[/quote ] Jep i had the same on my 3.5 it blows exhaust back i...

Somedays it works good, this day i t shakes like a diesel on idle :roll: I checked the spark and it is not verry blue, more blue with a yellow tip. The spark also dances at the spark plug. If i blow at the tip off the plug i can also blow the spark away so i think the ignition is weak and not always...

V8 tuner recommends this : http://www.v8tuner.co.uk/product.php?id=516 They say that shaft play up and down is normal. Also they say tho check everything before buying :) A lot of friendly advice like always. I am running on lpg almost a decade, never had a lot op problems with it untill now. Strang...

My coil broke after one month of service ( one year old)
Leaking oil and al lot
Just out of warranty of course

The amps generally work properly or fail totally. Not known one to sort of work. You check the centrifugal advance by fixing a timing disk or strip to the crank pulley and using a timing light. I have a timing light, and there is a scale on the crankshaft pulley, when i apply throtle the timing cha...

Hi From that description I would say it was normal play for a 280km old distributor, ie it is thoroughly worn out. In light of the fact you run this on LPG and that really shows up any weekness in the ignition then I think the "shotgun" aproach is entirly apropriate in this case, change the lot for...

Several reports of these cheap copy distributors failing. The shotgun approach isn't a good way of fixing a fault - even if it does, which in this case isn't certain. Verry true ! However nobody seem to can tell me if it is normal : I can move the rotor shaft up and down a couple of mm. Can move th...

I havent run on petrol for about 8 years (no petrol tank anymore). I rebuilded the engine 2 years ago. Cheked the lpg system, i replaced the valve on the lpg tank it sometimes would not open and sometimes it stayed half open. I found a lot of black dirt in the valve so i cleaned the lpg pipe and the...

I am thinking about this kit.

What plugs? NGK bpr 5. Have used them for years. No problems with them. I checked the distributor and the rotor has a bit of play sideways and the rotor axle i can move this a lot up and down is this normal ? ( couple of mm). I am thinking about a new distribitor and new ignition. Strange thing is ...
