If you're using throttle bodies is it not a meagasquirt you need. Meja jolt only controls ignition, mejasquirt controls injectors and ignition. I thinks.

I bought a set of GPZ 1000 carbs during the week, awaiting delivery. I don't know if they are even up to the job but thought they were worth experimenting with. So I'm know thinking of a megajolt. May go with the DIY kit option.

It's OK if it
  1. has everything needed to connect it
  2. it is mapped to suit your engine or it cna be mapped (by you or someone you know)
  3. it works properly

I'd certainly pay £50 if I thought it worked. Check the autosport web site http://www.autosportlabs.com you may be able to test it using a PC, not sure.

Thanks Mr H,
it looks like its just the "body" (brains) of the megajolt with some wires hanging out of it, the ad doesn,t say what its mapped for or if anything else comes with it.
think i,ll leave it for now.

how about the Filter King ? (£20)

cheers

Andy - for compariosn - have a look here - http://trigger-wheels.com/store/inde...FYYU4wodhFESdw

For a pinto for example the kit they supply consists of -

Megajolt V4 ECU
New coil pack and connector
New crank sensor and connector
Refurbished EDIS Ignition module
Universal crank sensor bracket
Coil pack bracket
Loom kit
Univeral 36-1 trigger wheel (custom wheel included in xflow bundle)
Set of 8mm silicone spark plug leads
All software and cables required to tune the system and maps for a wide range of engines

Just about every item there is essential. You can pick up EDIS units secondhand and buy a trigger wheel and fit it. It's quite a lot of work and then you need to tune it so allow some rolling road time or someone who has a good 'butt' dyno.

Hi Andy

If you want to use the Megajolt you'll be needing to run carbs on the engine, as said, the Megajolt only runs the ignition side of things.

They are not too expensive to buy at the moment, the exchange rate is heck of a lot better now than it was when bought my last one from the states

I have assembled both Megajolt & Megasuirt, I found both to be quite straight forward.
