so those throttle bodies , didnt need machining ? have they got the same internal diameter ? and fit into the already machined bolt holes ie same
flange pattern ?
ive got my MS up and running on a Volvo 480 turbo

Nope - no machining required. Flanges are close enough that some M5x25 bolts + washers will fit through the holes (at a slight angle) and hold them
securely. If you want to be doubly sure that they're positively located (perhaps required with the higher pressures of a turbo manifold), you
can file the holes on the TB flange to match that of the manifold.
Respacing is a simple job of unbolting them and using some angle ali to bolt them back together once mounted with the desired spacing. Then you just
need to bend / alter the linkages
I'll post full details (including pics) once I've finished.
PS they're from a Gixxer 750

Steve,
Nice looking work!
Can't believe how straightforward that looks to put together.
See you're not too far away in Reading. You ought to come along to our Guildford/ Box Hill meets once a month.
See the clubs and events section for details.
Cheers,
James

Thanks - I couldn't believe it was that simple either...saw a set used at http://www.16vmini.co.uk/ and thought the Gixxer ones were
as good a place to start as any...40mm, easy mounting etc...but still didn't believe you could get the together so fast - spent longer getting
the damned things apart - had to use a blowtorch to undo the original bolts!

Practicle Performance Car magazine have been running a series on making DIY sparks and fuelling. They been using the Megasquirt and thr Ford IDIS for
distibuter-less ignition. I've used the IDIS from Ford on a couple of cars to get rid of the dizzy.

Is there now a UK suplier fpr the parts?. I want to build a Megajolt to start with and then progress to a megasquirt .
As i see it i will need to buy a PCB, programmed cpu and map sensor , the other parts are obtainable locally.
Im also looking for some gsxr throttle bodys but not had any luck yet.

I've just visited this thread for the first time in a while.
I'm frankly astounded by the compatability of the GSXR throttle bodies. I take it, it's because the adapters can swivel on the mounting
rubbers ?
Anyway - don't publicise this too much - we don't want ebay prices going through the roof on this one

hi, been following this for a while and like it a lot. sounds just the ticket for an experimetnal zetec (on twin 40's) that im tinkering with.
is there a uk supplier??? - just the essentiaols and a list of other bits would be fine by me. (maybe maplin part no's?)
also, whats the going rate for and edis4? been offerd one for 10bob - value/rip off?

Rob I have been looking for the Pcb layout for the Willette programmer but not manged to find it yet, could you possibly email it to me ? or I have
been considering building it on veroboard but would prefer a proper Pcb.
Thanks Paul.

Right, I did some more exploring.
I now have the programmer PCB layout, it's another single sided, easy to make board.
Just to recap, at the moment there is no programmed chip available for the MJolt lite BUT the code is there. So prog a chip and it's away, hence
my searching.
Once I've built this programmer I will be able to program many chips should anyone in UK require one and it doesn't step on anyones
toes.
Next job is PCB making. For just the two I'll forego the photo etching and do manual boards.

That reminds me, I've got a half built Willette programmer somewhere, but don't know which box it's in as we're moving on
Thursday 
I bought the PCB from the guy who designed it, have you tried him?
I also started building two MJLJ's before we started packing boxes.

According to the web site there is no group buy at the moment and none available, i have the circuit and if need be i will make a board from scratch
using press and peel or similiar, but a board laypot would help.

Paulf,
If it helps I made a board that is similar to the Willette board, but based on data from Motorola's data sheet. It was done using the free demo
version of PCB Elegance available from Merco
Click here for PCB Elegance link
I have used it to successfully program several blank 68HC908GP32's that are used in the MegaSquirt.
U2U me if your interested.
Cheers,
Colin
