i thought i'd make a thread for anyone wanting to convert their Ignition's to the Daytona / Lifan 150 Adjustable Outer Rotor set up on Zongshens etc
this is the basic Outer Rotor kit to suit a Daytona 150 / 190 or Lifan 150 that you'll need to do the conversion.
or you can buy the more expensive Genuine Daytona kit (2nd pic) which also has adjustable advance maps built into the CDI, and a rev limiter iirc for over 4 times the price
with the genuine Daytona kit you need to swap the wires around to change the advance maps
this is the main loom kit
and here is the Digital CDI (8 pin) that the kit uses
and a wiring diagram if anyone needs it
to fit this kit to a Z155Ho/Z160Ho, you will need to get the engine backing plates' stator mounting face machined back 3mm deeper to allow clearance for the Flywheel so it wont rub on the stator backing plate.
most machine shops will charge between $10 and $20 for the work.
the standard backing plate is the one on the right
there isn't a lot of clearance where the wiring runs between the stator and backing plate, so i chose to cut a little bit more away so there's no chance of it rubbing through the wiring
the bottom plate shown below is the standard/unmodified one
i marked it in blue where to cut it back, and used a 1mm cutting disc to get rid of the extra alloy, then file finished it
here it is fitted to the engine, you can see how the enlarged cutaway suit's the exit point better on the engine case
these pics show it fitted to the engine
this photo shows the clearance between the flywheel and stator plate
here are the things you'll need to set the ignition timing, a 12v battery and a timing light.
hook the timing light pickup lead to the coil lead, and connect it to the power source
a 12v car battery will work fine, or even an old plug pack 240v - 12v power supply or computer power supply.
i ran the bike for a bit before taking these pics, so it was warmed up and ready to adjust the timing
here is a video of it running, showing it set at about 12° BTDC at idle
and as the revs build up to around 3500-4000rpm it advances to 28° BTDC total.
although the video doesn't show it properly
