Thanks - I'll check it out. I've got all the ignition system from both of the engines along with the ignitors etc.

I've got the California coil kit so do you think that the ignition system mentioned would also work with this?

Ignitech just replaces the 2 Kokusan igniters, plugs into the existing wiring from the pickups and powers the coils in the same way.

It's really simple but you can change the advance by RPM, by throttle position etc. so can get a smoother map, the OEM setup has a fixed advance.

The reason I asked about tuning is that if you increase the compression ratio you will likely need to change ignition timing. You can do that with the OEM setup by moving the pickups but to do that is a PITA as you need to remove the RH casing, with the Ignitech you can alter it from your laptop.

If you want to see one fitted/in action, I'm not far away from you and can show you it running and programming etc.

Sounds good to me as I do have the original motor (in bits) and a JE bb kit ready for that one day so future proofing now is sensible.

Do you want to PM me some days / times that you are available? I work mon-fri days
