its from a trurbo mr2 running 8:1cr and upto 16psi of boost

but i havent really tried it yet just burbled up the road

Hi Grey. Don't see any map...

ah balls, i think it must be saved in the format used by the ecu

Edited by Nic on 19th Jun, 2005.

grey, where did you buy your mjlj from? kit form or ready built?

And on the 7th day........... God created turbochargers!

ready built from america, worked out at £88 i think + £17 import tax

then £20 for all the bits from a scrap yard

£2 for some shielded wire

a bargain

however then i spend £99 on the kad trigger wheel....

Grey, you're using a dizzy-less setup? You don't have to go that route, though, right? I should be able to use a standard electronic dizzy? And if so, do I still need the EDIS?

Sorry, I know there is a web site for this, but it's HUGE! There is just way too much disjointed info on it. I'm trying to get it all, but it will take some time...

i suppose if your not looking to have the mappable ignition, just run the injection then you could use the distributor, then i dont think you would need the edis

but i dont know much about the megaquirt...

however running an injection system on a dizzy would be like running in high heels. Enjoyable yes, but you wont be getting the full benefit and i think the 2 ecus can communicate with each other to make small real time adjustments

Hey nic, could you send me the details of where you got your mjlj from?

your price, even with import duty, is much cheaper than what ive found.

also, what alternatoves to the KAD trigger disc are there?

Ive heard people adapt the ford ones onto the crank damper quite easily, but havent seen any pics of how its done? anyone?
(why is there none on ebay?!?!)


cheers guys

Yeah I'd be interested in some contact details for the MJLJ at that price

Are these all the extra bits I need to go along with the Megajoltsquirt?

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

i got it from here: http://picasso.org/mjlj/

the site for megajolt where you can download everything you need

cheers jim, Is anyone over here selling them ..?

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

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

a guy called bill shurvington can get them....... have got his email somewhere... *rummages around desk.......* god knows what ive done with that then...... find him on http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/megasquirt_uk/

And on the 7th day........... God created turbochargers!

sweet, ill look into it.

Im considering buying it all in component form now,

i.e. the circuit board, cpu and case

then all the electronic bits (resistors, connectors, diodes etc) separately.

Ive found a guy I can get all the electronic bits from:
kendrastirling@yahoo.co.uk

he makes up kits especially for the megajolt, and can do all the others too like megasquirt etc.

wish me luck

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

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

what sort of extra bits are require to build your own MJLJ and what sort of price and effort are we looking at compared to the prebuilt option?

http://mini.twisted-design.net/blog/

there is a order from on the picaso site that automatically brings you to the checkout of some american electronics store.

in the list is items like resistors, zenor diodes, bias resistors, etc etc

the usual electronic stuff, tbh i got a little in over my head at that point, dont know enough electronical tech jargon i suppose, but found that kendrastirling guy on ebay selling bits and bobs for MS/MJLJ and he replied saying he sold specific kits, with everything you need to outfit the partial kits, as sold by brent picasso.

once you have acquired these parts, on the picasso site is a step by step guide to assembling it all. looks pretty easy if you can sling a soldering iron about.

I must look like im to-ing and fro-ing now...but i think after seeing how versatile the MS is I might head down that route, (its got more functions and its cheaper to build....??) then i have the option of injection later if i ever need it.
The only down side to the MS set up is that, from what ive been told, you definately have to use the MAP sensor (or a TPS sensor), so the install is slightly more involved, but not by much...

righto, hope thats helped rather than confused..

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

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

I'n mow confused.... For ignition control only (i'm not planning on using injection) which system should I use the jolt ot the squirt? and what parts do I need for the recommended system? (I tried looking ont he megasquirt site but its confusing)

http://mini.twisted-design.net/blog/

I think your in my exact situation last week!!

From what Ive gathered (probably a good idea to check im correct with AlexF, ben h or anyone else in the know??)

The Megajolt Lite Junior (MJLJ) does Ignition only.

The Megasquirt (MS) does Fueling and/or Ignition.

Both can be used with EDIS

So far, from what people have told me, the Megasquirt is more advanced in the ignition dept, has more features etc (MS basically includes MJLJ and more).
When Ive been doing my sums up, seems to cost slightly less, if you get the bits from the right people.
And has more options for future improvements...

Plus more people seem to use it, so its easier to get help when needed.


Like I say, I could have it all wrong, so best check with someone in the know...

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

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

Mega Jolt Light Jr (MJLJ) is an ignition only system.

Mega Squirt is fuel only... BUT you can add on to MS and run MegaSquirt'nSpark or Squirt'nEDIS - there are several options!

For Ign only MJLJ is MUCH simpler to build, install, setup and use.

With either system a MAP sensor is the way to go, particualrly as you HAVE to run MAP on turbo engine.

Aha! Thanks a lot Alex that cleared things up a bit - MJLJ it is for me then
