OK ebay is a good idea in Oz

I'll mention it on the news letter that the people down under can buy them from you.
If you sell out it will be cheaper per book to ship 40 pounds.

Paul,  That is $5.20 USD which is $5.90 AUD, so Say $6.00 AUD plus local postage.  I'll see how they go, and could put them on Ebay as well, you never know.   Don't worry I will be building a coax muffler as I just cannot stand not knowing how it will work!!!    Almost finished wiring in the Microtech. Lost a half day trying to find what my existing master switch actually switched.  In the end wired the ECU straight to the battery switch which is what Microtech recommend anyway.  My wiring has had three lives, 1. Eggenfellner's stupid and continually changing system. 2. Tracy Crooks system, and 3. Microtech.  BY far the simplest has been Microtech and they use top quality wiring even if it is heavier than what you would normally use.   Neil.

24 is OK that is what would fit in the box

as I recall it was $125 total US so 125/24 is 5.20 each

then there is post in Aus


Maybe kev can build a coax muffler for you

Paul,   Web site is South coast Rotary performance. Hopefully he is much better than his web site as you will see. Books have arrived, but counted 3 times only get 24!!  Is this correct or should there have been 25 ?? What was the freight as it can be added to all the books to recoup?  I will charge freight at approx cost from here, possibly $15.00 don't know till i send one.  Neil.

Paul,  Bought the LT-9 I think it is called.  $789 plus the trigger box for the ignition, 4 Bosch coils,  Display unit (not here yet), Wiring loom, and tuning equip for laptop. Total around $1600 plus.  Certainly not cheap, but have the experience and backup of Kev WEbb to help tune it which will be a big boost, as rotaries is all he does.  He is actually getting a hardened insert made in China to repair any worn Rotor housings. They cost $40 , so he is very excited about that.  Already has a sample, now awaiting the genuine article for testing.  Still awaiting even just an email from Tracy, which is pathetic, he must have the unit over a week ago and still no response.   Neil.

    what model did you buy?
What ignition system did you go with?
They offer several.

Paul,  The injector line needs a minimum of 5 OHM for the computer to work
them apparently.  That is all I know. I suspect that you will have a ready
audience once you get your ignition going, they would kill for something
like that.  Neil.

The ignition is very interesting.

They are using four high speed transistors called IGBT's and four ordinary
coils. Not smart coils. Dumb coils. If they are inductive coils it takes
4 ms for the current to build up.
So the computer has to allow for this. If that is the case a smart coil
like the
LT1 or RX8 would work without the IGBT's.

If you can buy one and use an ohm meter to measure the resistance
I would know more about it. You could also trick them into telling
you. Say you have a coil and you measured it with an ohm meter and it
looks like a dead short. If they say that is OK than it is a special coil
that does not require a dwell time.

It's no bargain at $1100
