Thought it only polite to say hello and introduce myself before I start asking questions.
I ordered a complete kit from Rob yesterday, on getting home I promptly changed my mind about the spec and decided to get the knock sensor added/enabled (sorry Rob, I don't mean to be indecisive).
It seems the more I read about ecu's and their ability the more I realise how little I know, curiosity is a funny thing, you don't realise how much you are going to want something until you understand it.
My project:
Sylva Stylus 2.0 pinto with race head (12:1 ish), FR33 cam and ZZR1200 carbs, currently running weber alpha ignition.
I'm going to use the ecu with bike carbs to start with to set the ignition and then fit GSXR 1000 K6 throttle bodies (8 injector type) once I have sourced fuel pump and made tank mods.

Ps
I recognise Agriv8 from locostbuilders.
sounds like a good project to me

Me -- yup on here as well.
Good choice of ECU and join the club on the learning as you go along.
Things I have learnt so far is a
1 - Earthing the vems properly is Very important.
2 - Rob knows a thing or two about Vems units ;D ;D
3 - Read Rob's install guide from the Vems.hu site twice THEN start planning your install
Knock sensor sounds a good plan if you are running 12:1 CR - Not too much of a worry for my 9.5:1 CR
Have fun and PS its nice, quite freindly advice on here with ( no Calvin - unles you regulaly frequent the locostbuilders forum this will be lost on you ) Nice to see more users on here should build into an excellent resource for all of us new to this game.
Kind regards
Agriv8
I'm a regular on LB, the comment is far from lost on me, glad to hear it's friendly on here ;)
I'll check out the .hu site
Cheers

Hi mate,
Welcome to the forum, please put any pics you have up in the Projects and Installs section, it will be interesting to see how you find the transition from Alpha to VEMS.
Rob
I'll be taking pics as I go along and will post, not only to show how I'm progressing, but also to ensure I'm pointed in the corect direction!
