Taz_Rx Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Yeah $700'ish seems to be the RRP..... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/MSD-6-BTM-ignition-...=item3a5a775559 HOWEVER, I've seen these slightly different ones selling for under $500..... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/UNIVERSAL-BOOST-TIM...=item56393262d9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4k trike Posted May 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damon550 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 this sounds like a similar dodad? http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?I...mp;form=KEYWORD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 this sounds like a similar dodad?http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?I...mp;form=KEYWORD 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.

Damon550 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 i was thinking that it didn't have any sort of map sensor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 That bike is a beast. You will find that the jaycar kit can use a map sensor if you do a little research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan G Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 how the hell did you do a head gasket so quickly? did you wear the engine in without the charger hooked up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4k trike Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ae824ate Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) 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.

Taz_Rx Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
