Megajolt on a 5 cylinder car
My MJ configurator only has 4, 6 and 8 cylinders as options, does anyone know if this is this editable for a 5 cylinder engine?
I'll drop by the autolabs site but Brent will probably be in bed know!
Cheers

shame, been offered an st225 for not alot of money and I would enjoyed putting together a set of carbs etc, get the feeling though the bellhousing
might have been a problem though so maybe a lucky escape, engine was in a small fire and the ecu/wiring isn't available either, hence the MJ and
carb route.
Would have been fun until things went wrong

Its only a T5 volvo whiteblock engine, both mine cost less than 100 pounds each.
You could probably pick up a whole donor for not much more than that.

How about using a six pot edis? Rally Audi quattros used 6 pot kugelfischer injection pumps, the other outlet being simply blanked off.Cant be any
different with a MS.

Was thinking about an edis6 but I'm not the luckiest of people generally so its all bound to go wrong, tend to leave the pioneering stuff to
them with more brains and money than I
Thanks all
Night Night sweet dreams!

I'm guessing 5 cyls just wont work as wasted spark and will be a bit limiting
but it looks like he's going to /eventually/ do a coil on plug unit that looks like it wont suffer from even cyl count only limitation (just
says up to 8 cyls)
Failing that megasquirt would also fit the bill and should work with COP systems

LOL,
I /very/ unsucesfully flounced
Pronounced myself out
Realized its only the internet (see image below)
Re joined, did some convenient pruning to hide my failed flounce and some inane ramblings and ended up with a minus posting count
Only 206 more posts and my flounce will finally be a skeleton in my closet
 
duty calls
Regards
Rob

It's very different with MS. Injection timing (i.e. start of injection time rather than duration) is non-critical. The engine will run whether
you inject against a closed or open valve. With an ignition system the timing needs to be accurate. An EDIS 6 will generate a spark every 120 crank
degrees, but a 5 cylinder engine needs one every 144 degrees.
