Hi folks

I've been running or trying to get along with my current ecu (megajolt) setup. On my 1380 build and to be quite honest I've had gutful with it. And after speaking with Bill Richards briefly he shares same views on it. He did briefly speak on going distributor again with I think the 123 electronic kit on minispares. Of which he can tune happily for me.

So anyway has anyone used that system or any other recommendations at all please?

Rip it all out and fit a curved electronic ignition, AC Dodd can help

[cooperdan]

Exactly what Bill said

[nicklouse]

have a look at PoleStar (not the volvo tuning people) had one of their very first ones he did and they have come on very well over the last 20 plus years.and is on my shopping list for later.

whats the issue your having and whats the engine spec?

 

this isnt exaclty rocket science, so supprised Bill has recomended dumping it.

Can't say I've heard of anyone wanting to remove their megajolt. I've been running it since 2006(ish) with 0 problems. What issues are you having?

[mini13]

also is it TPS or MAP sensor based, and stick up the advance map.

Yes megajolt is great!

 

Most issues seem to be user related not the kit itself. It's highly recommended by most.

 

What issues are you having?

Another thumbs up for Megajolt. I know Bill knows his stuff, but a lot of these oldschool tuners are scared of laptops and "modern tech".
Dizzys are clockwork technology, granted it'll work ok with the correct advance curve. But to optimise it will take loads of rolling road time and someone who knows how to modify a dizzy correctly + even more time.
When you have Megajolt already I wouldn't even consider taking a step backwards.

BD Engineering in Newington will set it up for you.

You may have to take your laptop with you

Thank you Phil for that

I've never run a Megajolt, so I can't comment in that regards.

 

I'll add though that I did look long and hard at the 123 but the curves don't suit an A Series, so that always put me off, along with the odd ball caps & rotor buttons. Since that time I saw those, the CSI came along and it does have curves to suit our engines. I've been running 3 of these so far and very pleased with them. They also have a type that has an Immobiliser if that also appeals.

 

While I am happy with the CSI, I'm also looking at a Haltech for another application.
