My t25 diesel lump is wibblepoo. And broken. I'm looking at putting in a mk3 golf gti engine on bike carbs.
What would i do about ignition set up? My mate was advising dizzy and points, the person selling the set up said he was running coil / dizzy and rev limiter.
Am i right in thinking i could run coil, dizzy and programmable limiter for simple install? And following that a programmable hard cut if i feel childish?
Thanks

Whatever setup you decide you need a coil or coils. The easiest cheapest way I foresee making it work is the standalone hall-distributer and amplifier unit from a later carb engine Mk2 golf, and you can still wore a hard cut limiter or fit a limited rotor arm, the petrol T25 used a limited RPM arm but it was quite low in speed, 4800 I believe but others are available.

Thanks rich, i knew i needed a coil, but the info what dizzy needed is perfect. Although ive come across a kr lump on ebay which is literally round the corner from me, so i might go 16v now. Can i still use the mk2 carb dizzy on that oemr is it time for stand alone management? On the researh ive been doing people have mentioned the omex 4000. Id rather be able to get it running first rather than do that, and worry about upgrading later in the year. |

Not sure on the 16v front as I think they were integrated with the ECU, someone will be along soon to tell you though I'm sure. I think you you can use the 16v hall dizzy with the 8v amp though. Can't see why not. |

Why not just megajolt it? Not familiar with the engine but it's normally just as easy as reverting to a dizzy. (if not easier)

If you go KR I have seen them on a points dizzy as used on povo spec Golf mk1/ Polo (cam driven)it ran but it was rubbish. Fitting a random carb dizzy means you have little control over the ignition advance Get the Goof ECU (ignition only)and dizzy there are a number of wiring how to's on VW forums. I would go NODIZ as it can be pre-loaded with base map and is ready for upgrades. Put a trigger wheel on the crank pulley for timing, fit a sensor, cheap ford coil pack and away. I have no link with them but having researched for a similar engine project it was the system i felt an idiot like me could work with. www.nodiz.co.uk/ |

My biggest concern with points these days is getting points that stay reliable. Many don't seem to.
Besides MegaJolt NoDiz is another way of getting distributorless ignition.
