For all of you with D-Jet setup, I'm going to purchase this and see what difference it makes, hoping install will not be a problem.

The seller is a Dutch company and has been around for a few years already. There's even a brick and mortar shop. No iffy internet sales. You don't have to worry about that.
I have a 123Ignition in my Triumph TR. Installing was a quick job: took less than 15 mins. Most important is the fact that you set the static timing correctly: Be sure you understand the advance/rpm data before you remove your old ignition! A more expensive version of the 123 gives you a USB portal with the possibility to 'learn' the module how to 'behave' at certain rpm. Finally: when you need help (language, shipment to the US) just let me know. After all, I'm Dutch; I can pick up the phone to ask questions etc. I'll try to help you if needed! Menno |

It will likely fit but are you sure it has trigger points? I didn't notice that in the description. Kinda necessary for the stock D-jet.

Keith I can give 'm a call tomorrow ( nearly 10 PM here at the moment) Menno Please do call and ask about djet comparability. It would be nice to have a tunable advance curve |

Keith I was wondering the same thing so I looked through the install instructions http://www.123ignition.nl/downloads/manuals/123PORSCHE4.pdf There are two extra wires "yellow" and "White" that get attached to pins 1 and 3 on the "Bosch connector" on d-jet models, so it looks very likely that they made an electronic replacement for the injection points. If this is what it looks to be then this is beyond awesome given the injection points are the one thing we haven't had a source for. Its digital and has adjustable timing curve to boot. This is seriously exciting. |

I previously posted this in another forum. It does have a djet version that has some kind of electrical /light/pick up to trigger the points.
Should be a vast improvement over the 40 year old stock dizzy with wobbly shaft and worn trigger points. Even compared to magnetic point options. Someone help me out here. Looks like stock 2.0 74ish djet setup. Old distributor he shows has trigger points for fuel injection. Someone tell me how the new one is triggering the fuel injectors? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rw1FigYoozE Can't wait to hear how much you love it! I need an excuse to buy one myself. |

If this is what it looks to be then this is beyond awesome given the injection points are the one thing we haven't had a source for. Except the trigger points require 3 wires - a common and 2 poles. Not sure how this works with only two trigger point wires, and then a disconnect connector to the harness is needed. |

Electronic triggering of the injectors has been done before....I installed a setup in a Mallory like 10 years ago, I didn't get much interest at all and didn't it pursue any further than the setup in my car.
With the popularity of EDIS and MS gaining traction it seemed like a dead end project at the time. |

This is very cool, can't wait to hear back about ow it works for you.
Maybe next we'll have someone able to engineer a better MPS!! Until then I'll rebuild a couple. |

First thing this morning, I contacted the owner of the LeenAPK website. Leen (Leonard in English) was very informative.
First: he ships to the USA. Shipping costs are 28 euro. You can order the item from his webshop. Second: you need the 'E' version of the dizzy - as explained and shown in the YT video. Third: this E version is not available as a tuneable dizzy. So, not USB on this one. Reason: space inside. The trigger mechanism (magnetic with small coils according to Leonard) takes up too much space for an interenal USB portal. I have a 123 on my Triumph and I am a happy customer. Car starts on the button and idles very smoothly. The main feature of the 123 is the fact that this dizzy works perfectly at high revs. A Triumphs has a low-revving engine a 914's engine however will benefit more from the high revving feature. Check this: 123 on YT If you need additional info, just PM me! Menno |

Given the current Dollar vs Euro exchange rate, it might be a good idea to buy it in Europe...

Its been a while since I dissected d-jet, but the common is most likely +voltage which this distributor already has a source for. I dont actually know that it is what they are doing here, but i could see it working. |

I dont actually know that it is what they are doing here, but i could see it working. Hi, the lead in the middle is ground (earth). Bosch did this because they tried to isolate all the grounds of the system from the 'engine ground'. Reason for this was: When the 'motor-ground-lead' was broken or in incorrect order all the electric stream would flow through the D-Jet-components and destroy them especially when starting. The 'trigger'-connectors at the 123 don't fit very well into the plug of the wiring harness, as we discussed in Germany before (sorry, in German language): https://oldtimer.tips/de/forum2/ignition/27...v-kontakte#2296 One thing to add: You must take care of fitting the contacts to the correct leads. When you interchange them, the engine will run quite normal, indeed - but injection is at wrong timing, suboptimal setup... Regards Norbert |
