Longmans 1600 Head Spec

Sounds similar to what I'm doing and having the same dilemna about recurved dizzy vs mapped ignition, from a money point of view anyway.

 

I've roughly worked out that it's either 100 or so for a H&H dizzy or 4 or 5 times that for mapped ignition, including the mapping. I'm still undecided if the gains of going mappable are going to be worth that much more or not.

 

Has anyone tried both on the same (or similar) setup?

 

By the way, who is setting your engine up? I'm taking mine to Mikeanics as I need to get the car on the rollers there anyway for my championship but have heard that he knows 205's very well.

 

My engine in car now made over 150 bhp on a std dizzy and this engine is far more superior then the current one so 160bhp is my aim.....

 

Sigma Engineering is who is setting carbs etc up

Dizzy recurving job at H&H costs just around 20.00 quid + postage

 

Upon deciding which ignition system to use after engine mods , dizzy vs mappable , i choose modified dizzy ... though id go for mappable ignition in the first place but i couldn't do that cos i was unable to find anyone who knows how to map the bloody thing here in this country and in the case of ignition mapping , if done badly it can quite easily cost the blown engine

mapped ignition is the only way to extract the full potential

Seems a bit of a waste to not go th whole hog to me Mark, especially seeing as you were offered those TB's & management so cheap mate!
