Sure its been done before mate, think there is/was a couple of RST's knocking about with the 170mph clocks in them!

Someone will be able to advise you better on here i'm sure mate as I don't personally have an RST HTH

The S1 clocks will work, no problem. If you're going wasted spark, then there's a couple of ways to go around it.

yeah more than likely. was thinkin bout usin crank sensor to trigger ign on wasted spark system and the cam/phase sensor for fueling. seems like the easiest way to do it to me. instead of seperate coils etc.

so how do i get around it and do they need much modifyind to fit?

cheers.

'i'm not a specialist in Weber Marelli managements (I favor MegaSquirt if you havent noticed ), and don't know how to convert one to wasted spark. But, if you manage to do so, then you can drive the rev-counter from the coils using three diodes like this:


In ford's efi managements one can just take pin 11 form the EDIS-4 to drive the rev-counter. Most people seem to change the entire instrument panel for no reason.
