Richie-Van-GTi 71 2 Cars Posted July 26, 2007 has anyone installed a second VB921 onto a PCB3 ? I cant figure out the explanation of it on all the websitres Ive checked. Hoping someone can explain it a bit easier to me. Ive managed to build up everything else already but its untested as I didnt get megastim (Im a tight git) and Im awaiting a couple of missing bits.

SPGTi 2 Posted July 26, 2007 This is explained well in the MSextra manual. Depending on whether you have a space on the heat sink bar, you can install it there, mount it directly on the case or I was told you could sort of double decker 2 heat sink bars and install it on there.

Richie-Van-GTi 71 2 Cars Posted July 26, 2007 well made a small heatsink to go the opposite side of the PCB, insulated it with 2 small squares of polythene and mounted the coil driver there with heat compound, then wired it as follows. pin 1 to 330 resistor to end of R29 pin 2 to spr 4 wired direct across R43 piece of wire between pin 6 and spr 4 pin 3 to the end of the wire across R43 Im fairly confident this is correct, followed the steps on the ms extra site but left r37 and r38 as it doesnt state they must be removed.

SPGTi 2 Posted July 27, 2007 Page 73/74 of MSextra Ignition hardware manual. R37 and R38 can be left in Have you removed R57 ? I will admit I chickened out on the soldering and sent my unit to Bill Shurvington to sort out. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie-Van-GTi 71 2 Cars Posted July 27, 2007 57 wasnt installed as that was part of the idle control circuit IIRC which Im not going to be using. I just finished wiring up the main harness connector, just needs connecting to the car loom and everything will be ready for when tuning cable and the 2 missing parts arrive. Fingers crossed the cable comes tomorrow as bill is sending me the missing parts by special delivery to arrive tomorrow. Just hope Ive installed everything correctly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madspikes 41 1 Cars Posted July 27, 2007 I would suggest that after you installl the new loom, you test the grounds and power connection on the d-37 with a multimeter before connecting it the MS, just to make sure, power is going to the right place. I installed the second coil driver as per instruction, and built a double decker type heat sync and seems to work fine. Mad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie-Van-GTi 71 2 Cars Posted July 27, 2007 how do I test the power etc with a multimeter? the instructions all relate to using the megastim which I dont have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
