Ignitech TCIP4, again

[ducatiz]

I was really thinking about the difficulties of fitting a TPS on the OEM Mikunis on the Duc.

I know, just throwing that out there.  You can find the TDM Mikunis for around 100 on fleabay.  Usually have to buy the TPS separately.

shoot me your email.  Mine is not stock at all but that should not matter.  600 and 900 use the same advance.

you have PM

cheers

I saw people limiting at 8500 - 9000 rpm.. why that?
and secondly - what's the dwell setting for OEM coils + which coils should I upgrade to?


M600 from 2000

cheers

RPM limit of 8500-9000 because power is already dropping off, so no point in revving higher.
Setting yours at 9000 would be fine.

I left the dwell on 'auto', seems to work fine.
here's what my 'miscellaneous' page looks like:

California Cycleworks has some nice replacement coils.

thanks! what about this pair of dyna coils? http://www.ebay.com/itm/380532406996?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

So I got the dyna coils - and according to the other Ignitech thread, using resistor plugs is the trick for the module.
I will be using 3 ohms Dynas, NGK racing leads (red) and NGK resistor plugs - is this setup safe with the Ignitech? I believe the leads have resistors too

cheers

[ducatiz]

Yes as long as you have the R plugs.  You'll work your alternator/regulator more with the green dynas.

ChrisK used to make a kit for them but no more.

hmm.. that's not good news.. is there the possibility to break them? I remember having a lot of trouble with the regulator on a 94 Cagiva Elefant.. clearly not their strongest point.. If I'm better off without them, I would cancel the order..

Yes, possibility but not overwhelming.  The 3ohm models use more juice, which means you'll be working the alt and regulator more, that's all.  The spark difference isn't enough to recommend it.  Some have used them and swear by them, but none of the racers I know use 3ohm they all use the 5ohm (black) with uprated wiring and are doing fine.

[tibrocks]

I understand. for the 5 ohm coils, what do you mean by upgraded wiring?
I have wrote them to cancel the order for the 3 ohm ones.
thanks

If anyone wants to hook up a TPS, this might help:

He used one for cars, see page 3.

@speeddog can you please give more details on hooking up the MAP sensor?
I've checked the link posted by greenmonster on installing a TPS sensor on Mikunis but I thought the MAP is easier to install and what's odd I found a GM sensor in my garage:>
which pins uses on the ignitech module and do I have to link it to both cylinder intakes? Thanks

Great thread.

[tibrocks]

Hi guys,

I found cape's take on wiring both a TPS and a MAP on the Ignitech module which looks very neat  - would this work for Ducatis as well?  and I believe the MAP must be connected to both intakes..
