thank taz

Yeah $700'ish seems to be the RRP.....

HOWEVER, I've seen these slightly different ones selling for under $500.....

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/UNIVERSAL-BOOST-TIM...=item56393262d9

first one mentioned has multi spark (inbuilt spark control) and rev limiter

second one is just timing retard no spark unit

so for extra 2-300 i can get spark unit and timing retard in one unit

cheers for the advice

Ahh that explains the price diff. Sorry I didn't really read the specs.

Deffinately get the first one then. :)

finally got it all assembled

ready to give rebuilt motor a run in

havent got charger on at moment plan on giving motor1-2 hours run in nateraly asperated to help bed rings etc

now i just need msd 6btm (tomorrow i hope) extractors startermotor plugs and leads

:bash:

this sounds like a similar dodad?

Similar...yet different. That Jaycar kit isn't a CDi unit to start with. Plus it doesn't have a vacuum port for an internal map sensor or equivalent so it can't retard timing in relation to boost pressure.

i was thinking that it didn't have any sort of map sensor

That bike is a beast.

 

You will find that the jaycar kit can use a map sensor if you do a little research.

thanks all

ordered msd and starter today

not long to go now

finally got it all back together charger msd eletric diz are all on

gave it a run in the paddock

goes great bit slow of the line hope its the timing or flat spot in carby

but ive done a head gasket i think hope like hell its not a cracked head

go to town tomorrow for extractors,head gasket and a few small fittings

gee i hope i havent done a head

on the up side the msd unit is good highly recomended

f@$k i got a zap from it

the motor sounds crisp

can't wait for sunday 16 may

not long to go now

how the hell did you do a head gasket so quickly?

 

did you wear the engine in without the charger hooked up?

hope gasket was faulty mite have had air lock in it i did notice gasket dident have all holes for water to flow through opened up got any sugestions?

ran enjin for 1 hour nateraly asperated

A new head gasket shouldnt fail that quick. Have you got a temp guage hooked up? Seen your videos but don't remember. Was it run in and on boost at the time? Love your work mate. Also, how was the engine worn in? How was it driven? Cheers.

Blowing a gasket that quick isn't all that suprising..... it means you're not pulling enough timing out of it on boost. The HG is always the first thing to fail. Makke sure you have no more than about 25-30* of timing while on boost. Or start on 20 and slowly increase it.

 

Oh and the head gasket doesn't have holes in the FRONT of it to try and promote water flow through the back of the head. Otherwise the water would take the path of less resistance and just loop around the front of the motor between the water pump and thermostat housing. :yes:
