Megajolt Rolling Road Set Up
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi guys. i've just got myself an mg metro turbo engine and i plan to rebuild and modify it over the summer when i have some money (poor student at the moment).

I've been doing quite a bit of research into the megajolt system and have been searching this forum and found a lot of useful information on the system. It seems like the way to go! there are however a few things that i haven't found been able to work out or just didn't understand and i wondered whether anyone could help me or just explain it in simple terms?

I have aways had my n/a mini set up on a rolling road (by peter baldwin, top bloke). He has always altered the dissy to change the timing and the car has always run absolutly spot on afterwards. my question here is, if i was to get the turbo engine with the megajolt set up, would i need to have it set up on a rolling road of could i just download a map and do it at home? also could i have it set up on a rolling road and would i have to take my laptop along so adjustments could be made?

Sorry if these seem like some silly questions but any answer would really get things straight in my head! I'm sure i'm going to have plenty more question in the coming months. any help would be brilliant.

The only way you'll know what ignition timing your engine needs is to get it on the rollers, otherwise you'd just be guessing.
Take your laptop along so you can set it up.

so at the rolling road is it basically just a case of trial and error, like swinging the dizzy? also does megajolt come with a default that would allow me get the car to the rolling road/run the engine in? sorry if these are noobie questions!
