View Full Version : megajolt
whats are the benefits from using megajolt when running carbs
the engine will be a 2.0 8v and will be running R1 carbs along with an uprated cam and a decent exhaust system
im trying to get as much info as possible for the warmer weather coming in so i can get cracking with fitting the new engine
iv had a good read through thier manuals and installation documents
any info would be good :)
ive read in different places that megajolt will give better results but none have proven it yet (i dont think)
it will be the megajolt lite
You can map exact timing figures instead of an old dizzy doing a rough job of the ignition.
And you run a Coilpack which should be more reliable than an old coil/dizzy setup.
Using Megajolt means using Ford EDIS setup though which isnt exactly great either. Does the job though.
i plan on doing this when i run twin 45's
like adam says, you can get your mapping dead on. someone can be sitting next to you while you drive and play about with the maps until you get it perfect.
IIRC you use a Ford coil pack EDIS is it?
and you have a crank sensor and a special cog.
and a throttle position sensor (TPS) which you make a bracket for, for the side of your carbs

yeah your right, it can also be run from a map sensor as well but i think the tps sensor would be easier
dont the R1 carbs have something like a tps sensor on them anyway?
some info on instalation, not on a vaux but basicly the same
i wont be building the megajolt unit ill be buying it pre-built
Yes R1 carbs have a TPS sensor.
You have to use a complete ford EDIS ignition system

yeah i know about the edis system and cheers for the pic tom, been reading a few posts from various sites you have posted on
good info:thumb:
imho I'd rather pickup a full megasquirt and use it for ign only to make use of proper waste spark control etc rather than using edith lol
but the price difference is quite high and i very much doubt my mapping experiance will go any further than ignition so ill stick with megajolt
lol start at the hard end then ;)
calibrating spark is a slag of a job compared to fuel but nevermind
