This evening I have got it running, to my amazement she fired up as soon as I powered up the EDIS in limp home.

A brief dance around the then garage followed

I've now got the MJ wired in, the old coil has been removed and the Lucas 4CU Injection ECU is picking up the coil pulses using the 4 diode trick. I've just got to wire in the Aux input to the Lucas water temp sensor and connect my shift lights.

Even my RVI to RVC modified Tach works !

Pictures to follow

VR Sensor.

Ford Zetec sensor on custom bracket squeezed in between crank & PAS pulley.
36-1 is from trigger-wheels.com with 4 spacers
The back of the Pulley had to be machined off to get enough clearance.
Washers used to adjust the VRS / trigger wheel gap

EDIS8 module mounted on the inner wing where the oil coil used to live
The green "relay" has been gutted and the relay replaced with 4 diodes to drive the Lucas 4CU

Coil Packs - GM ECOTEC they where easier to mount than the Ford ones and the scrap yard was full of them.
The front pair of plug leads are the original ones with the ends squashed, they work but need replacing !
(Not sure why this pic is so small !)

Megajolt - not quite installed yet, still have the shift light and Aux input to wire up

Just in case you where wondering this is what it all lives in !

Looks like the Piece Hall in Halifax?

Yes it is we had a TVR event there last year, It just happened to be a decent picture of the car which I'd already uploaded onto Photobucket !

120 TVR's revving up at the same time in the Piece hall sounded great !

Had the wedge on a dyno shoot out at the weekend.

Not bad for an old rover V8 running on flapper injection with a MJ on it's base map.

Be interesting to see what you get when it has been properly mapped, hopefully more of a handful, lol

Nice! that must pull nicely to redline.

Flapper injection? You mean the "vane air flow meter" with the flapper-door in the air flow?

Brent- thats the one, us rover v8 people have "flapper" efi on the earlier cars, with a sprung loaded door being used to measure the air flow.

Later cars use the "hotwire" type of air flow meter.

yes, these hot wire anemometers are commonly used in the air mass meters of car fuel injection systems. If i am to buy car accessories.. i would definitely choose that.. it makes a cool look real cool..
