Audio Kits Digital Pulse Adjuster Kit

Allows you to control and tune the operation of any solenoid that is run by the engine management system. This means that you could control turbo boost without an expensive boost controller, or alter automatic transmission line pressures for better shifts. Alternatively, it can be used to drive and control an extra fuel injector.

• Kit supplied with a quality solder masked PCB with overlay, machined case with processed panels, 2 programmed micro and all electronic components • Kit requires the Hand-held Digital Controller (KC-5386 $49) and connecting cable (WC-7502 $12)

25 pin extension cable with all pins connected)

Cat. KC-5384

Frequency Switch Kit

This is a great module which can be adapted to suit a range of different applications. It uses a standard tacho, road speed, or many other pulse outputs to switch a relay. The switch frequency can be set to trip when it is rising or falling, and it features adjustable hysteresis (the difference between trigger on/off frequency). You could configure it to trigger water spray cooling on deceleration, shift light activation, adjustable aerodynamics based on speed, intake manifold switching and much more. Kit supplied with PCB, and all electronic components.

• PCB: 105 x 60mm

Cat. KC-5378 $27.50*

High Energy Ignition Kit for Cars

Use this kit to replace a failed ignition module or to upgrade a mechanical ignition system when restoring a vehicle. Also use with any ignition system that uses a single coil with points, hall effect/lumenition, reluctor or optical sensors (Crane and Piranha) and ECU.

• Kit supplied with silk-screened PCB, diecast enclosure (111 x 60 x 30mm), pre-programmed PIC and PCB mount components for four trigger/pickup options

Cat. KC-5513

$36.00*

Battery Zapper Mk III Kit

Attacks a common cause of failure in lead acid* batteries: sulphation, which can send a battery to an early grave. The circuit produces short bursts of high levels of energy to reverse the sulphation effect. The battery condition checker is no longer included and the circuit has been updated and revamped to provide more reliable, long-term operation.

• Supplied PCB with solder mask and overlay, components, screen printed machined case • 6, 12 & 24VDC

Cat. KC-5479

*Not recommended for use with gel batteries

Capacitor Discharge Ignition Kit for Motor Bikes

Many modern motor bikes use a Capacitor Discharge Ignition (CDI) to improve performance and enhance reliability. However, if the CDI ignition module fails, a replacement can be very expensive. This kit will replace many failed factory units and is suitable for engines that provide a positive capacitor voltage and have a separate trigger coil. Supplied with solder masked PCB and overlay, case and components. Some mounting hardware required.

• PCB: 45 x 64mm Cat. KC-5466

Jacob’s Ladder MK3 Kit Interior Light Delay Kit

Many modern cars feature a time delay on the interior light. It still allows you time to buckle up and get organised before the light dims and finally goes out. This kit provides that feature for cars which don't already provide it. It has a soft fade out after a set time has elapsed, and features a much simpler universal wiring than our previous models.

• Kit supplied with PCB with overlay, and all electronic components • Suitable for circuits switching ground or +12V or 24VDC • PCB: 78 x 46mm

DIY Kits for Electronics Enthusiasts

Bridge Mode Adaptor Kit for Stereo Amplifiers

This excellent kit will let you run a stereo amplifier in 'Bridged Mode' to effectively double the power available to drive a single speaker. There are no modifications required on the amplifier and the signal processing is done by this clever kit. Supplied with silk screened PCB and all specified components. Requires balanced (+/-) power supply from +/- 15 to +/- 60VDC.

• PCB: 103 x 85mm

Cat. KC-5469 $20.25*

"The Champ" Audio Amplifier Kit This tiny module uses the LM386 audio IC, and will deliver 0.5W into 8 ohms from a 9V supply making it ideal for all those basic audio projects. It features variable gain, will run from 4-12VDC and is smaller than a 9V battery, allowing it to fit into the tightest of spaces.

• PCB and electronic components included • PCB: 46 x 26 mm

Cat. KC-5152 $6.00*

Pro Monitor Headphones Professional headphones that offer outstanding performance for home and studio applications. They provide accurate, linear sound reproduction to cater for the most demanding monitoring applications.

• Excellent bass response • Ear cushions for comfort • 120m W power handling • Nominal impedance: 64 ohms • Frequency response: 10Hz - 26kHz

Cat. AA-2065 $62.00*

Smart Fuel Mixture Display Kit for Fuel Injected Cars

This improved model has an emergency lean-out alarm, better circuit protection and an auto dimming display.

Another great feature is the ‘dancing’ display which operates when the ECU is operating in closed loop.

Kit supplied with PCB and all electronic components.

• Car must be fitted with air flow and EGO sensors (standard on all EFI systems) for full functionality • PCB: 121 x 59mm
