    great job. the 510 is called the 1600 here in Australia.

      Yes the 510 was sold here in the UK as the 1600 too! But most people just refer to them as 510s to avoid confusion, I'm guessing they were popular down in Aus as if we want parts for them they generally come from the US or Aus

      here in aus they are crazy expensive now because.
      1. They are very simple
      2. easy to work on when needed
      3. great on fuel
      4. not a tank, easy to park
      5. look great, nice and clean.

      @@qwertyui90qwertyui90 yeah they aren't cheap here either, although you might consider them reasonable priced compared to Ford Escorts and BMW 2002s, which are similar cars from the same era. Although back when new they were quite expensive here so didn't sell very well Vs the others, and the ones that did sell have all rusted away since then, so there are extremely few UK domestic cars left, most (including mine) are imports

    Awesome 3d jig!

    planning to convert my 2E Corolla to EFI too, but don't know where to start 😂

      @jakethepeasant  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Generally as per this video, trigger set up is normally the biggest hurdle to running spark-only, then high pressure fuel is probably the biggest step on the way from spark-only to EFI. The trick is to break it down into manageable steps.

    Hey, nice work. Did you lock up the centrifugal advance within the distributor?

    • @jakethepeasant
      @jakethepeasant  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I haven't (yet), my logic was that it would advance roughly the same as I'll do in the map anyway and hopefully keep the rotor arm Vs electrode in the dizzy cap in the right window, unlike distributors designed for this sort of use the rotor arm isn't massively wide

    Hi jake, if you can find the equivalent spark plug for your engine with the resistor built in , it should help . One downside maybe that you're current coil would not be upto it.

    • @jakethepeasant
      @jakethepeasant  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Good idea! Yeah I did check if they were resistor plugs and they aren't, I'm going to borrow a mates oscilloscope to have better look, but it seems alright as it is for now (although maybe a bit borderline on noise)

    • @turbobobster

      @jakethepeasant I do a bit of messing about with both old and new cars like yourself. The ht leads are like 4 big antennas just punching out high frequencies that don't play well with the likes of the speeduino in particular as there is very little hardware filtering.
      Another one that got me before was a noisy alternator as they were designed before ecus were a thing.

      Can you recommend any other inexpensive ecu for ignition and efi conversion, which has better filtering for the noise? Looking to do a similar conversion on my ke20

      @@naimatakku I think Mega squirt is the only other ECU even close to this budget, and that is no better electrically than this (in fact worse in some ways, it's just an older design) - I think resistor plugs will be a big help, I spoke with a colleague and he had a similar issue with Mega squirt but far worse than I've seen, until switching to resistor spark plugs

      That 510 looks so cool! And i really liked the video.

    Have you used a vr conditioner or did one come on the board?

    • @jakethepeasant
      @jakethepeasant  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No need for a vr conditioner with a hall effect sensor, my honda has the optional vr conditioner board though as it uses a vr sensor

    For about 70 quid, or less, you could buy a new Chinese electronic distributor for this engine and have it installed a running in 15 minutes

    • @jakethepeasant
      @jakethepeasant  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah that's true but that wouldn't have gained me anything over the previous distributor, the plan is to go Injection and this is just the first step along the way

    This is a pretty cool setup. I crashed my 69n2 door usdm in 2020. I had a l20b with Holley sniper efi, and a 123 ignition distributor. My channel. Car before it crashed youtube.com/@danielhughes9556?si=nteFmdlr4C80CxRQ
