ms setup
Turbo Mini Forums

engines finally paid off yay, so am looking at different alternatives for ignition, think i will stick to the standard dizzy to run the engine in then upgrade later, how do you initially setup ms/mj etc and who can i trust to do it or is there a standard map? bit confused cheers, gav

Hi,
Can you trust yourself? Have you got a good timing light? If yes to both you can do it yourself! :cool: First write a map with 10's all over it, write it to the ecu. Mount your toothed wheel with the missing tooth 90 degrees before TDC, mount your crank sensor pointing at the missing tooth. Start engine, check timing, should be 20 degrees BTDC. If its not you need to adjust something in the ms settings to get the timing light to read 20 degrees. I've not got a mega setup, but someone on here will know. Now drive to rolling road and get it mapped!
You could try mapping it yourself, I did on a n/a engine, but a turbo is alot more critical on timing. Try this for a base map Apologies to whoever this was stolen from!
Cheers,
Gavin. :)
