[quote="fourfingers"]Hallo Michael, is there any chance this will work will work whit ignitech´s ignijet2007, instead of the m400. I am afraid if not, I´d better stop reading your posts because after a visit to Thorsten´s shop I think motecs are completely out of reach... for us, the mortals.[/quote]

What is the price for Motec - I'm going to use MicroSquirt as far as it has lot of support ant lot of information.

Well Parus, the m400 is 2400Euro...But, of course, you want lambda enabled 635eu... and logging capabilities 147eu... and then start adding up sensors... it will be at least near the 4000 Euro mark . Ah, and I forgot... plus VAT.
And about Microsquirt, is it a group developed board similar to Arduino or something alike? Are you into electronics?
Cheers

4000 EUR just for the EMS and sensors.... are they use brilliants and processor made from gold ? :roll: I sceared to ask how much fabrication of throttle bodies already cost to Michael...

Microsquirt is open-source planform for engine management system (EMS) - http://www.microsquirt.info/ - small version of MegaSquirt for the cars. The comercial version is VEMS which also very familiar amound of tunners. There is succesfull projects based on this platform http://www.msruns.com/index.php and there is plenty info about fitting this EMS and making fuel injection. I cound't find better EMS for our 400cc bikes in comparison features-quality-support-price. BTW is cost me 450$ new with harness. So, I'm planning EFI cost me between 1000 - 1500$ totally...

I have been following you bikes evolution over the past 4 or five years and, it is sad for me to say, but I have only been able to steal one thing: your shock linkage (and sorry, I did the theads the other way round)

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk26 ... C04572.jpg

By the way how do you manege to fit 180s at the rear? I can barely fit KR108 165/55.

Good luck with the injection project, keep it up. And congratulations for your bikes
cheers
The linkage looks very good, it is very easy to fit a 180 rear tyre. You must have a 520 chain and some other bits :sshh:

I have to say it: In Germany we say T.D. is a pharmacy because he is so expensive, but he makes a very good job with his MoTeC M800 modular Wire Harness. I will not pay a lot of money for all the parts and the bike will not run and i have to seach the troubleshooting in the system.
So i buy my my parts from Thorsten for the first bike.

I think you can take a cheaper ecu and a cheaper wire harness, example:

Today we spent a lot of time in the garage. We built a new air-box for the nc35. It is a big one for the
new fuel injection. Luis a friend of mine help to do this kind of work. Here are the first pics of this work:

This is the biggest airbox we made for a 400ccm bike. The airbox will be split in twoparts.
The tank is the top part of the airbox.

Top work michael, do you have any pics of how your air intake works through the tank or is this a closely guarded secret? ;)

i'd say the answer is in this picture tony, at a guess i'd say only half of that tank in the background holds fuel and the other half is where the air gets in via the air scoops. finally someone has put the scoops to use.

am i right michael ?
