Megajolt map for a Zetec

HiGuys,

I know that a few people are using the Megajolt ignition module but is anyone using it on a 1.8 Zetec???

If you are would you mind letting me have a copy of your 'map' for the ignition advance.

Adv(Thanks)ance

If no one has one I could probably supply something from my map, even if it only gives you a starting point. My ECU came with a number of sample maps, I'll check if there is one for 1.8, presume you are running carbs.

Hi Zetec,

Thanks for your offer of help.

yep - twin 40 Webers.

The Megajolt map is a 10x10 matrix, what format is yours?

JAG,

If you check my files section you will find a 1800 Vauxhall map used on my car. I have also uploaded this to the MJLJ site. I'm not sure how great the map is as my car runs but is not actually on the road yet, however it should be quite close what you want as it's a 1.8 on dellorto 40's, it's also 10x10 as I have the megajolt installed.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I too have a Megajolt system on running on a 2lt Pinto However, I have a friend who it implementing one on a 2lt Zetec and he's not too good with computers so I have agreed to get him a map.

I have a few Zetec maps from Emerald and Omex which I will convert to Megajolt form using PioneerX's excellent converter

I'm a bit busy ATM, but should get it done over Christmas some time. Email me and I'll add you to the now growing list I have of people who want Zetec maps!

Don't be tempted to use a map from a 8v engine as they have totally different advance settings. A 16v Zetec require max load advance of 32 degrees BTDC and an 8v Pinto 38-40. I would imagine an 8v Vauxhall would be similar.

cheers

Matt,

Thanks for the kind words. I hope you kept a copy, if not u2u me and I will send you one, as per a tread I posted a few minutes ago my webserver has died and wont be back until about the 28th Dec.

If you want send me a copy of the MAP I will be hosting a MAP's section so that everyone who needs a map for the MegaJolt has somewhere to go. I found the biggest problem was finding suitable MAPs on the web.

Too true! Took me ages to find a map for a Pinto and even then, when I tried it, it was rubbish I think it was designed for a more tuned Pinto than mine so made it run really badly.

So my solution is to tune my Pinto with an FR32 cam and some light porting I'll then take it to my rolling road man in Devon to get everything just right.

I can host the maps on my site no probs:

I haven't updated it for ages though as I've not had time to tinker with the car lately
