x16xe conversion, just a few questions

[maccas]

hi there, right basically i've got a x16xe engine and box to go in my nova, i've made a manifold to suit some zzr1100 motorbike carbs that i acquired a while ago, i have the megajolt stand-alone ignition system and was wondering if anybody has also ran this system as i am looking for a map to get me started so i can get it rolling roaded and set up properly, i have a few maps that might get it going, like i've got one from a c20xe on carbs and i was thinking that it might be quite close to what i want? if anyone has any idea on this at alll i would be very grateful for any advice, many thanks, dan

there is a guide on the megasquirt website for a starting point map

let me know how you get on with the megasquirt maccas as thats what i want for my x16xe

[maccas]

yeah i'll let you know, it will be easter before i can get on with it again

[draper]

did you make the manifold yourself or buy it ?? i fancy some bike carbs on my X16XE

[maccas]

i made it, it was alot of hours of drilling filing welding heating up and reshaping etc but it should work well, i am undecided on how long to have the runners though, i made them really long so that i could cut them down at a later date, i had 100mm in mind? does anyone know how long the runners have been on other manifolds that have been made to suit motorbike carbs?

Might have to watch the clearence for the firewall..
Altho 100mm should be ok, i'd say.

i'll be putting the engine in in easter so i suppose i'll just have to see how much clearance i have, is it true that 1.2 spi shafts will fit a f15 box?
