Help needed!

Problems with trigger, rpm goes shortly to zero when engine are idling (500-800 rpm). At same time it seams as ignition from Vems is set to 0 degree, have installed two Bosch coils (webshop type) and loos sparkplugs just to be able to use timing light.

Using triggerwheel from BMW 60-2 and VR sensor from same BMW.

Old cabs and ignition are still controlling engine.

How do I convert trigger log file to readable data?

Any suggestion for fuse size for coils?

– 15A is blowing! 20A stand with low rpm, and 2ms charge time.

Ps. how do i make subpage in here?

About my project.

The car is a 1970 MGB originally with four pot engine, but in 1985 I needed more power so I converted to V8. The engine is from a Rover SD1 and is with twin SU carburetors and in present form about 160 Hp.

Plan is to convert to injection by using base part of manifold from Range Rover, with special made top part, as high in engine compartment is limited. Other parts will include injections nozzles, pump and pressure regulator from Range Rover and Gemsboard Ver. 3.2 to control it all.

When injection is install and running I will go on with ignition probably with four coils using waste spark.

Just fitting an injection started of a complete rebuild of car!

Status by now; VEMS is running on test bench. Hardware for injection has been prepared, and by shortening height of plenum camber bonnet can be closed.

Trial fit of engine before body goes to paint shop.
