Very neat work! I was thinking of using a ball- or roller bearing at the top of the dummy dizzy, but to get that installed is more of a challenge.

Yesterday I tried whether diodes would change the reading of the coolant gauge. It didn't

so this opens the way to hook up behind the clockwork and use the wire that runs to the sensor.

A question for brentp,

In the configurator of the aux input i can't enter 7.35 as a value.
I want this because i'm planning to hooking it up with a AFR meter.

Is there a way to enter numbers after the . ? like 7.35?

Thanks in advance,

Taunus 12M

Hookup works, but I got a slightly lower reading on the temp gauge now

. I will experiment with the setup this long weekend and post update when it works as wanted.

With all the changes i made to the Taunus his engine i was curious to see the improvements!
So i did a dynorun with him!

I hoped for a little more horsepower but the torque is great and instantly! The engine was stock 60ps, no idea about the torque. Here's the graph

It now produces 74.3ps and 122nm off torque, and the graph is really smooth, not bad i think because i did all the tuning myself, the carb and the ignition map

Without the megajolt it was never possible to get so much torque in the low rev's, i already noticed it when installed but now i have the proof

And here a quick vid!

Great job, fine looking figures. Do I see correctly that you use an exhaust with a sidepipe?

Yes it is!

It is totally hand build by me from stainless steel. Allot less restrictive than the original one!

For now it is only the middle Y-muffler and the side-pipes. Soon it will be like stock to the back with a little extra muffler with good flow

And thank you, i also like the figures! today also made a drive off 250km, and i can tell you many people make the mistake when pulling up against me, the torque from zero is really used to full potential!
