SPYDER SILVERSTONE KITCAR 3SGE COP
Posted: Wed Nov 24, 2010 11:18 am
Here is my 1987 Spyder Silverstone powered by a REV3 3SGE engine in RWD format. V3 MS1 Extracode running ignition only. Four spark outputs, sequential
COP using Kawasaki ZX6 coils. Triggered using the 24 tooth wheel in the dizzie with one tooth removed. Techedge wideband recently fitted.
Running at present on Solex Mikuni 40's with 36mm chokes. 167 bhp on the rollers. I am considering throttle bodies but I'm mindful of the relative fragility of the T50 gearbox.
Transplanting the 3SGE was problematic but the MS install (4 years ago) was relatively straightforward.
I've had a few niggles recently following replacement of the previously overheated 3SGE. Cold starting became poor for no apparent reason. I put a noise filter on the ECU supply and filters on all noise sources. Then I ran a dedicated supply direct from the battery. This seems to have sorted it. I think the voltage drop during cranking may be greater on the new engine.
The car itself is chassis #12 of 28. Very rare and very special.
Big thankyou to ExtraEFI.
