The problem I had with those are they are inline.
If you try to get it all to fit inside the engine bay, using the stock accel cable to drive the system, you end up having to turn the cables coming out of the gyro, or really any of the inline ones, so much that the friction kills you. I tried terry cables, special cables from Campagnolia....it was just to much of a turn to have it work... Eventually I built a thing (Which I am more than happy to ship out Mike...its just collecting dust, and may be a good starting point from a thinking perspective...) that takes in the cable from the accel cable, and using a pulley mounted horizontally produces two cables that are now 90 degrees from the accel cable. The three I built worked, but I dont have a machine shop, so my tolerences were not close enough to rid myself of the friction... It was really close, got a few bearings, etc etc... Then my some took my test mule away. Attached image(s) |

Hi Mike!
Any progress on this front? I'm looking to go down this path with a 2056 that currently has 44IDFs and full Mallory ignition (Unilite/Hyfire 6AL/Promaster). So far all I've collected is the manifolds. Not sure what TBs to get yet (GSXR 1000s?) or what controller (SDS probably; fuel only). -Mike |
