Hi Bill

Dunno whether the AFM needs to be changed, but the Haynes manual describes
the Digijet system as a mechanical ignition advance/retard system, which
means that the distributor may be different to the Digifant. Interestingly,
the highest powered 2.1 engine (type DJ 82kW / 112Hp) uses the Digijet setup
and was produced for all the syncros is South Africa. I have never heard of
a Digijet chip upgrade.

Regards
Nigel

Subject: Chip upgrade for Digijet?

I keep running into mentions of upgrade chips for the Digifant injection
but never Digijet.  Anyone know of one?

If not, what would it take to convert a 1.9l to Digifant?  I think the
injectors are the same.  I assume it would involve replacing the ECU, AFM,
and the wiring harness for the ECU.  What about the distributor?  Does the
Digifant control the ignition too?

I guess the next question is: would the chip upgrade do anything useful on a
1.9 upgraded this way?

Bill
