Thank you, Sam. I will do a write-up on how I installed my system since I
really put the word "Experimental" to full use... by the way, I apologize for
mis-spelling your name. My bad...

Luis, congratulations! That is one smooth sounding engine! I was tickled
when I noticed that you were using the SDS CPI ignition as well!
Would you mind discussing where you mounted the Hall effect sensor for the
three ignition magnets? I ended up drilling three holes into the flywheel and
mounted the magnets on the flywheel; to mount the Hall effect sensor, I had to
cut a piece out of the flywheel cover and ended up mounting mine basically at
the 12:00 o’clock position on the flywheel, bolted into the crankcase (I
unfortunately do not have any pictures of this due to having a new phone and
losing all my old ones). I’m just curious if you have any lessons learned, or
any better ways of mounting the sensor.
Now that you are running the CPI, and the magneto drive is free’d up, if you
ever encounter alternator problems or desire more amps (more than the standard
Revmaster alternator), you now have the option to mount an automotive style
alternator; it takes a little bit of drilling/tapping to make it work, but it
is a much cheaper (and solid) alternative than purchasing another stator/coil
type like Revmaster’s. I have a write up on John Bouyea’s website with a few
pictures if you ever run into this problem.

The ignition system on my engine is the same system Sam Spavonich used on his
KR2S. It is a Dual SDS CPI electronic ignition system. This system does not
require a magneto to start and has no moving mechanical parts. The total system
cost me $1400. I also purchased an optional template to install the computers
into my panel ($85) and two 3' extensions for the harnesses for $15... I am
super excited about these units.
SDS EM-5: CPI (sdsefi.com)
Call and talk to Ross if you are interested. Tell him you are interested in the
CPI units. Keep building...

Which ignition system did you use? How much is it?

I finally got my engine to idle correctly without issues for the first time. I
built this engine three years ago after I purchased it from a Q2 owner. I
installed Revmaster 041 heads with stainless steel valves and then put the
engine aside while I finished my work on my airplane... move forward three
years and it was time to run the engine... Since I had installed a dual
electronic ignition, which gave me a lot of trouble to install being that it
was the third of its kind for a VW engine (Sam Spanovich has one), that took
over a month. the aerocarb that I purchased about the same time as the engine,
needed a lot of adjustments, I then found that the engine valves were never
adjusted properly (by muah), and I found the right manifold loose. After a very
frustrating three months of chasing down problems... the results are in, I hope
you enjoy this short video
