What a wonderfully written set of instructions.

Took me about 5 hours today to do the conversion, thats including going and buying a soldering iron to solder the wires from the new board in with and also time to clear the tools away at the end etc.

Need to make a better bracket for mounting the coilpack as its just on a bit of metal off one of the strutbrace screws at the moment, but other than that, its totally finished.
I made a basic bracket for the ignition amps too as didnt want to pay for stu's cause im tight, he was happy to supply the kit without that bit though.

Sounds just SO much better on idle, the plugs that are in it were running very poorly on the old setup (they are a bit coked up still) but on the coilpack it purrs on idle now.

Very happy with it indeed.




Just need some decent weather now so I can go out and try the nitrous again as would be lighting the wheels up in fifth tonight I should think if I tried in the rain we are having here at the moment.

glad your happy chip

I like to think of it as a great product in spite of your involvement rather than because of it.


































Just kidding, you sir, are a very clever man inded

I have just got one of these off Stu aswell. Will be fitting it as soon as the cars up and running again.

Would also like to thank Stu for spending a good 20min on the phone to me trying to help sort the problem with my car. Gave me somethings to try and went through everything he could on the phone knowing he wasnt making anything out of it. Cheers Stu i owe you a few

Have you got a pic of the installation.

Can't knock it can you? best thing is if you do get stuck, you know you will have back-up on the phone as well anyone who thinks a "group A" coil and dizzy is better must be well......special to say the least ahem....

Chip

iTrader: (3)

I'll get one tomorrow hopefully.

tabetha

RWD cossie wil,
No one think a group a coil and izzy is better, but if you are not having spark issue why change and spend a load of money that could be spent elsewhere.
Once could argue that the coilpack introduces another ignition amp to go wrong, so why not go aftermarket ecu where they run direct, and have shed loads more features, more than the wm can ever dream of ?

The quality of the driver board is astonishing aswell, such a fantastic little bit of modern art

Jay,

tabetha has a point BUT the exspence of a none oem ecu fitted mapped ect out shines the value of the webber addons if you can not fit and do all the work to fit another ecu on the car

Dan

Stu's a diamond bloke and his products are second to none!

Can't wait to get the car back on the road and up to MSD!

Picture of it now as promised:

Couldnt believe the length of the HT leads initially, in fact I thought it was a skipping rope stu had sent me cause im so fat when i pulled the first one out the box

foreigneRS

aren't you better off separating the leads and isolating them from each other and other parts?

cjwood555

As above - although the effect is often exaggerated, there will be inductive coupling between leads, which, especially with a CD ignition, could result in misfires.

Chip

The strutbrace is painted very thick, I tried getting a plug to spark against it and it couldnt.

Never had a problem before running leads together so will see how it goes, can always move them a few mm apart if I need to, just done it like that initially cause it looks neat TBH

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Interesting, ive never been able to observe this, so if it does happen it will be good that you have warned me what it is.

cjwood555

It's more of a theoretical problem IMHO, as the spark is high potential but low current, and induction relates to current, not potential....

Took me about 5 fucking times to find the actual coil

Is it pretty easy to fit DIY as i cant be arsed to post my ECU off and know what I am doing witha soildering iron to a degree

Chip

iTrader: (3)

I dont have the relevant knowledge to discuss it im afraid mate, all I can say is that ive never had a problem, but that doesnt mean I rule out it being possible.

Chip

iTrader: (3)

I view welding and soldering as the two things im no good at, and I managed fine first time, so gotta be pretty "idiot proof" IMHO

Fudgey

iTrader: (4)

are those the longest ign leads in the world lol?

anyway, i want some, im gonna have the coilpack mounted under the dash

also gott figure out how to mount the coolant and oil breathers under the dash too

i just want an engine in the bay lol

Stu @ M Developments

iTrader: (12)

Thanks Chip.

The leads are long enough to fit in the 3 main places the coil is fitted on the 3doors, saffs and Escorts. Std length are no use to you unless you wnat to mount the leads to your block.

JonnyBravo

Nice work again Stu

Now Chip I presume this is so you can up the jets further and attempt to blow RS Custard into the record books

engine bay looks cool

any pics of the car?

Chip

iTrader: (3)

click my garage thing under my name mate

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Yep, just waiting for dry enough weather to give it another go now!

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Have got 150bhp jets to hand as well for if it pulls cleanly on the 125's and doesnt die.

Then if they work I will order some 200's

4x4

what made you spray it yellow?

Fudgey

iTrader: (4)

when you have attempt number two, let me know and ill bring a camera lol, might make for some interesting reading

so did the leads come with the kit from stu, or are they sold seperatly?

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Just always liked the B&H sponsored 500's and always fancied one, so when the 500 shell on mine got written off and it was only ever going to be a "replica" anyway, I thought "fuck it, no reason not to have it any colour I want now" as it all had to be painted anyway.

This is the shell when I got it, so I certainly think it looks better now!

Chip

iTrader: (3)

I might try this weekend, depends if its dry.

Only got sat nav to record speeds with though, lol


Rod Tarry said if I can get a relatively accurate 1 mile time out of it on my local off road private test track (which handily has markers on the hard shoulder), he will cross reference it with his data for various cars and give me an indication of what it will do at brunters, could do with getting it up to somewhere like that for a proper go really though, mind you, standard brakes arent exactly good news, lol

4x4

isn't that the same car thats sometimes on the back of one of the Ford mags?

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Its been "occasionally" on the back of fast ford
(the last 21 months running IIRC)

It was also front cover in december 2005

4x4

thought so

never knew you were into cossies! most have given up on them!
