Megajolt - A brief installation guide
Turbo Mini Forums

I've used Fiesta leads on the British Open.

On that point, are there any off the shelf leads that have 90 degree spark plug connectors? I am using the Fiesta leads, but they aren't ideal on the Metro.

I sell Lumenition leads that are custom made for the mini and Ford coil they have the nice 90 deg bend that the normal mini leads use

how much?

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

is it possible to make use of the 12v coil feed to power either the edis module or megajolt, or should i run new 12v feeds?
just wondering as i'm looking to get it fitted as soon as i get time.

That would be the easiest i guess.
Not sure if its fused?

no its not fused, but that could be easily done.

I ran the two + wires back to the same point and fused them.

when i had mine i used the original dizzy + feed

anyone had any issues with everything freezing and the tacho dropping to zero when driving? We have two cars doing it mine running a supercharger and a mates running N/A? The only way we can fix it is to close the plug gap or change the plugs. We have tried NGK, NGk Iridium's, Champions and now Bosh super4's. 6's and 7's????

Anyone else had this issue? Its like the car is shutting off...

Are you using resistor plugs? The EDIS module require resistor plugs to work correctly.

I was using NGK BKR7EIX which stopped the issue for a few hundred miles then it came back this morning when we were going for a club run so I got some bosh super 4's from Halfords as it was the only place open this morning and the problem went away again.

quick question - is the EDIS module etc used on the valencia engine in the KA? all the earlier fiascos are gone from my local scrappies
cheers


Rob

have you got the suppressor fitted between the +ve (centre) pin on the coil pack and secured to a good earth (i.e. the engine block)?? this stops most interferenece / resets/anomalies

Question #1 - Yes spot on



Question #2- Yes you are spot on again



Question #3 - I personally connected them to pin 7 of the EDIS moduel, but I see no reason why connecting it to any or as many earths as you want wouldnt help


Question #4 - If you mean how to connect the sheilds to the piggyback earth wire I just soldered them together and heatsrinked it.



Question #5 - You can take at output from the megajolt unit itself.

Wicked, thanks SupNut!

Should be set to fit it all tomorrow now, got all the wires I need!

Yeah I meant the actual copper core than goes around the outside of the insulated wires (between the outer insulation and the smaller gauge wires inside). I figured winding the two ends togother would be ok but i'll solder round the outside and heatshrink like you say.

With regards to taking the output for the revcounter from the MJ unit itself, how is this done?

there is a specific pin output for that mate...pin in the corner next to the pip...see tom fentons post on page 2 of this thread

Cheers Ant^^

Another quick question, the 12v from the coilpack and the 12v from the EDIS module, can they be linked together and taken to the fusebox as one? Theyre switchable (ign) 12v's right?

Guys like above, im still unsure of this!!

Checked out autosportslab website and found this too:



As you can see it has "Coil Power" and "+12v".

Does this mean, that the 12v from the coilpack, and the 12v from the EDIS unit have to go seperately to the megajolt plug?

As at the moment, i have linked the 12v from the coilpack with the 12v coming out the EDIS unit.

the 12v is a live supply to the unit, from a switched feed, you take a live to the edis and a live to the MJ. when you solder in the rev limiter you do away with the live feed going to the coil pack instead you use the coil power* wire, so instead of getting a 12v feed straight to the coil pack your giving the coil pack a 12v feed via the megajolt with its now inbuilt rev limiter.
i installed mine this weekend but have yet to work out the softwear n get the rev limiter working, im setting myself a 4000 limit while running in so i dont tempt myself more than i already am

David.

Just following on from this...where is the rev limiter output wired to if you wire the coil power* to the coil?

just to update this a little, what software are people using nowadays?

gonna whack a mj v3 tps on the 'rally' car over the coming weeks and doing a bit of homework..

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

Could someone just clarify something for me please.

When installing the trigger sensor, if the engine is at top dead centre and the bracket 90 degrees before, will the missing tooth effectively need to be opposite the tdc, to enable it to be 9 leading teeth before the sensor. Or when the engine is at tdc should the missing tooth be aligned with trigger sensor.

Sorry to sound so stupid, but reading round I seem to find information which seems to indicate either scenaro.
