With reference to Stevieturbo's earlier mention of the Nodiz system, and only being 5 miles from them I contacted them and received the following reply.

"We haven't yet created a bespoke 8 cylinder controller, however, we have carried out testing using 2x NODIZ units with them each running a crank sensor set 180* opposite each other on the crank trigger wheel. Loaded with the same map, this gives 8cyl control.

We will be looking into 6 & 8 cylinder control versions in the next few months, though I wouldn't want to hold your project back. If you are willing to wait however please let me know and I will prioritise development on this. "

Seemed knowledgable and helpful and worth encouraging them.

Using two four cylinder units seems a cack handed way of doing things - you're doubling up on all sorts of things unnecessarily. Unless there are no options - which of course there are.

I agree. If they dont have a single controller to do an 8cyl engine, I would forget it

2 setups would work, but it's just messy....and of course twice as expensive as it needs to be

But one way to see if you can get it to work before building a dedicated prototype

Best regards

Assuming there are enough output ports on their processor, I'd guess writing the software is the hold up.

Dave,

There's plenty of head room on the processor, we just haven't yet dedicated the time to 8 cyls as we are finding hard to keep up with the demand for 4cyls at the moment!

We are planning on building an 8-cyl version in the next weeks/months, but as with anything we like to firmly test it prior to release.

The 2x option was a 'get you running option'.

Phil, interesting comments about M-Tech, though anything we could find was either by you or 5+ years out of date...

Anyway, as soon as the 8cyl version is available we will be looking for a guinea pig to come down and try it on the rollers, so will keep you all posted with the news as we go!

Regards,
Matt

It's going to take me few weeks to get my engine swap done but I'd put my name on the guinea pig list. Only thing is a 4.6 gems Land Rover 130 aint exactly a racing machine!

In my book V8=:) regardless of what its fitted to!

Give me a few weeks and I will 'hash' together a prototype (just 2 extra coil drivers) and do some code tweaking for 8 cyl

M.E.

Grand job sounds like a plan!
