If the ie coils will power the Ignitech unit ok then that should be much easier or am I missing something really obvious here?
The Ignitech powers the coils and picks up it's signal from the 2 pickups in the engine that the flywheel actuates 90 degrees apart.

I don't know but would think the i.e. uses a 'missing tooth' pickup on the gear for reference and then the ECU determines firing points?

If so then you'd (probably) need to fit the carbie style flywheel and pickups for which, pickup mounting points should be there (they are on a 916) but, if the flywheel mounting is different then it might complicate things?
