Ignition Advice

Greetings chaps.

I would appreciate any comments, and advice, as to a replacement ignition systems for my series two Jota.
I'm looking to replace the pick ups, ignition box's and coils.

I realise the subject has been discussed at in detail before but please indulge me.

Thanks guy's
 
3-4 Systems available, the 3 major ones are

DMC II - longest on the market, lots of different pre-programmed curves available, optical sensor to replace the pickups. Sorrow-free product for long time if you make the installation right (good description comes with the box). Make sure you do not make the cable installation to tight, as the little connectors in the big single connector are prone to brake under use. 15 pre-programmed curves (which you would only need maybe 2-3 of, as all the others are useless on your engine setup....), so gives a little flexibility but without tweeking something except if you use static timing...

Sachse/REDEX kit: small and good system with a fixed curve I think that can be changed only by static timing I think (or reprogramming). I think it comes with a hall-effect sensor, but am not 100% sure. Also easy to install, good kit, slightly cheaper than the DMC II (depending on where you are in the world....)

Ignitech: not really a kit but a box and pickups available, base-plate needs to be machined, rotor can be reused then. curve needs to be programmed. highest flexibility with different inputs (throttle position sensor, Air temperature or some other possible values can be considered for an ignition map) as well as outputs (fuel-pump, exhup, programmable tacho signal etc. etc), which for sure not everyone uses but could be used for maximum advantage. Some basic maps are available and can be adjusted by yourself. Installation is just for advanced users I would say.

so - if you look for an affordable and good, worry-free solution, go for the REDEX/Sachse kit.

If you look for some flexibility and don't mind spending some extra, go for the DMC II

if you look for maximum flexibility at lowest cost and don't worry about the hassle, go for the ignitech.

Lothar,
Since Volker passed away we have gone to making our own Redax/Lx Halll Effect boards and magnetic rotors mated to an Ignitech ignition box configured to suit the Hall Effect triggers.
Our systems now are fully programmable and are as far as I can make them a bolt on item including wiring harness, etc

I thought my Sachse box had 9 curves available + test mode, though only a couple are useful depending on the motor tune. ???
 
Hello Fellas
Is it possible to fit the optical sensors to my old DMC ii that uses the original pick ups on my 78 Jota
Many Thanks

Uwe has updated his ignition systems (DMC2) for the 180 Bosch bikes. It includes a new plate and one pick-up. Either delivered with a box with new programming or you can buy the new parts and have your older box reprogrammed. Up and running in two bikes here and it works great.
