Turbo Mini Forums

hey lads.

so im pissing my dizzy and converting to a mega jolt.

what are the main advantages, with the weather.

im in Australia.

i find i have problems starting in cold (Winter) at the moment and getting a great spark on start up.

raining hard today the car lost and i had to pull over it lost revs never did this before.

i left the car a bit dried the dizzy and it started again.

is there something i can read, as im going to set it up soon i bought the v4

once my sc12 kit is set up will doing all the tricky ignition stuff.

once i get to it.

tah.

Have a look on the autosportlabs website. Plenty of info there.

yes Anton i have been looking. i see some nifty stuff, seems the best thing they have all done ha.

just wanted some one who has done it in uk with the mad cold weather to let me know how they are going along with it.

:)

im going to do it regardless anyway.

There are more benefits than just reliability.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Well since fitting megasquirt to my mini it has started first time almost every time hot or cold. Also in driving rain it has never missed a beat. I fitted it for the tuning and economy, but the reliability and in particular starting are improved immeasurably.

Agreed... Im tempted to put one on our metro for the same reason but I don't want to lose its originality...

Do a search on here loads have done it!

If you use the megasquirt you can still use a normal coil and dizzy so you get some of the benefits.

It will improve cold starting, and you can also run a different map while the engine is still warming up if you wish. It will remove the wet weather problem as well. Do it, you won't regret it, especially when you are also getting more MPG and better running in general.

cool guys. my car wont start again :(

it's foggy and cold at the moment.

whats the best way take the cap off & spray some water disperser?

i would think the dizzy is electronic it's from a 94 front cut, so my mind is pointing towards the shitty twin su's are not set up right.

might try the water disperser the least effort any other tricks for now.

i will do the mega jolt for sure i have the parts, i'm just waiting on this wire kit.

does any one else do a wire kit? this one seems to be taking for ever.

Have you tried the marigold on the dizzy trick to help you through the crap weather?

no? what is that?

get a marigold glove, put one lead through each finger, tape it up and put over the dissy cap, there you go

a marilgold is a brand if rubber glove in the UK
