There are several people that can map the 14CUX these days, have you spoken to http://www.powersperformance.co.uk/ to see if they can help

Any MegaSquirt can be triggered from the ignition - same as the Hotwire. But it would be silly not to have mapped ignition too. I'm intrigued about there not being space for a trigger wheel. An option is to fit one on the engine side of the inner pulley. You may have to change the pulley if it is flanged type, or have a custom trigger wheel made.

Ian this guy may be your man :wink: he can map the Lucas and worked with the guys that cracked the software lots of happy TVR customers using the CUX/Lucas that he tuned/re-mapped 8-) although like yourself I also run a single Lucas plenum and struggle 238 solid cam etc etc and also struggle a little with the below 2k RPM lurch/surging I have considered going 8 TB,s which I know will get round the plenum charge robbing/contamination issue that creates the low speed issue http://www.kitsandclassics.co.uk/ I dont recommend easy either he is a good guy

Aye I hear that people have cracked the 4CUX code
3 years back I moved to just outside Edinburgh. So not overly local ........ so simple up here may be better!

Or one last possibility, change it to a Ford mill, but in comparison to the lightened balanced unit I have it will be a plodder and probably mean a dif change too to get revs lower!

I've not done it, but read the software to re-map the Hotwire yourself was available?

Trigger wheel should take up negligible space.

Oooooh LS the spawn Satan!

Incredible motors but not in a GT40.

Actually I once considered the V8 turbo diesel from a landy but thought a second time and saw the weight!
