they look very cool in there, im not too sure about the manifold being a direct swap though the acclaim has the thermostat built in it im hoping i don't have to build a new manifold for my efi project Dan

the microsquirt is going on a manual so ill use that as a starting point, at some point in the future ill add tps with the throttle bodies, but for now its map only. I just need to get some time in the workshop to get the wiring loom finished, the trigger wheel teeth cut & the lc1 fitted, then we can see how good the map is. Dan

i got the map scale wrong so i did it again. think the triomatic looks better.....

wow its 2am where did that time go??? oh i did this

thanks nick  ive added the map again, idle should be 800. im going to reread that post many times Dan

ok im not too concerned aboiut getting extra advace dialed in yet ill be compleatley happy just for some pointers on how to start entering the data in to a table ive had ago on MS best guess (attached) but i dont know how good/safe it is i dont like the way the vac comes in higher than the original set up was at full advance. i thought a basic dizzy spec would be a good place to start. Dan

I was going to keep this under wraps till Runswick Bay but i think im going to need a little help to get the microsquirt running in time. the install is going ok (crosses fingers as i think about cutting the teeth on the trigger wheel), what i need is some pointers on writing an ignition map so ive got some chance of it starting & being drivable in a fairly short time. The vac advance on the dizzy has split so it's currently disconnected & running at 12 deg at idle & its made a noticeable improvement to the upper rev range but less to the lower. So how do i transfer this to a micorsquirt map? ive seen people talk about using higher resolution lower in the rev but what & where should i use & how do you work out the vac advance? All advice, suggestions & pointers welcome. Dan here's the spec (from Haynes) max revs 7k ignition timing at idle speed vac connected manual      5deg btdc triomatic   12deg btdc centrifugal advance (decelerating vac disconnected) rpm        deg 1k       0-1 2k       12-17 3k       20-24 4k       27-31 vac advance (max) manual   13 to 17 deg at 225mm (8.9in) [30.1kpa] triomatic  4 to 8 deg at 275mm (10.1in) [36.9kpa]   

the mk1 bosal exhaust ive got matches the manifold at about 40mm, now we need some clever person to work out if thats going to be big enough. i think its a little small 48 mm would be the next size up, 51mm after that.

i was thinking somthing like that this morning. ive got plenty of exhaust manifolds to play with so im not worried about wasting one. if acclaimaxhausts had been in better supply i would have probabley just incrased the size of the down pipe a little maybe changed the first box then gone back with the standard system.

heres my thinking on the acclaim mainifold as you can see its a good size & looks like it should breath quite well if matched to the head, so they added a restriction. im going to open this up to match the pipe when i build my exhaust. imgoing to see what boxes & pipes the exhaust stockist has that might be made to fit. i would recomend using two boxes as the one box system on rupert is rarther annoying on long trips. Dan

i did find  one from that nearley fitted from a petrol freelander i think,  its about 10mm too long but apart from that it did fit.

bugger just realised its .com not .co.uk at the end of my email addres

i can put them up on my photo bucket site & link them to the thread if you want email them to hull.club.triumph@gmail.co.uk Dan

thanks ill have another look at those sites. Dan

thanks ferny

welcome to CT Jason, up until now ive only heard about thease cars & not been able to find much out about them on the net, so please loads of good pics  & lots of details. Im currentley working on a fast acclaim so if your ever near hull idlove to meet up for a chat. Dan

i have repaired a couple of exhausts depends whats failed where. unfortunatley there no longer available, ive been trying for a while now with no sucess. your best bet is to get one made, I will be trying to get somthing off the shelf to modify but thats not going to be till later this year. Dan

i finaly got round to taking the pic what do you make of this ? Dan

on my block there's some letters at the end of the engine number looks like a fraction stamped in small type, ill post a pic to show you just wondered what i mean when i can get to the car. Dan
