i still say its easier to take the rocker cover off...But yes you are right ----- Original Message ----- From: Geordie Smith To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2000 1:47 PM Subject: RE: Home Made EFI/EMS Yeah, but if the valves are closed and you got a broom handle in the spark plug hole, then it's gunna push air if it is on the compression stroke. If #1 doesn't push air and #3 does then I'm 180deg out!! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of CP Sent: Thursday, 10 August 2000 1:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Home Made EFI/EMS well you do actually cause you could be 180 degrees out...Its easy with the rocker cover off as you can see where the valves and rockers are ----- Original Message ----- From: Adam Jackson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2000 12:47 PM Subject: Re: Home Made EFI/EMS you don't need to take the rocker cover off to do what errol suggested.... ----- Original Message ----- From: Geordie Smith To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2000 12:45 PM Subject: RE: Home Made EFI/EMS Mmmmmmmm, OK... Thanks. I didn't want to take the rocker cover off if I could help it.   I wonder what the missers will say when she finds her broom has been shortened... :)  Maybe I could say it was a performance mod... :)     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Errol Smith Sent: Thursday, 10 August 2000 12:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Home Made EFI/EMS Geordie, Take the plugs out of the engine and put a clean piece of wooden rod (old broom handle cut off etc,) on top of the plug hole and press down  As you turn the engine over if on compression stroke you will hear compressed air escaping between the dowel and the plug seat. Cheers Feral Errol ---------- From: Geordie Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Home Made EFI/EMS Date: Thursday, August 10, 2000 9:48 Sorry if I appear dumb, but what sort of engine are you using this home-made job on? I am interested in finding out more from you about this, I have just bought a microtech EMS and am going to hook it up to my SR20t tonight. It appears to be a very simple system as far as wiring, but the software appears quite detailed.. Another thing is that when I got the engine the Crank Angle Sensor was removed. I believe that to install it is similar to a Dizzy, you put the motor on TDC#1, install the dizzy/CAS with TDC1 mark or rotor posi lined up with the sensor/#1 pickup, and then offset it by the timing angle, ie 10deg or 8 deg or 15deg whatever is required? Is that the correct method? Also, if that is so, then how do I know I've got TDC on #1 and not #3? Do I have to pull the rocker cover off and check which one has both sets of valves closed? If anybody on the list knows any of these answers I'd appreciate it... Maybe Pete knows? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jeffrey Thomas Sent: Thursday, 10 August 2000 9:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Home Made EFI/EMS Just a little update on the home made engine management system for anyone interested. The ignition part of the system works now – I was up most of the night with the system plugged into the back of my computer throwing sparks all over the joint.  Great stuff – really wakes you up !  All that’s left now is to mount the crank angle sensor and it all should work.  It’s actually quite amazing how much stronger the spark is compared to the old dizzy setup. The Fuel injection system is coming along as well – I obtained some old Webers which I’m going to use as throttle bodies.  All I need now is to construct an EFI manifold which has inch and a half exit ports to mate with my head.
