Zetec on bike carbs - Omex or Megajolt?
matto_89 - 2/6/14 at 08:56 PM

Hi All

Thinking of converting a seven from a X-Flow to a Zetec. Well trodden path I know, loads of good material out there. The Xflow is on bike carbs, and I want to go down the same route for the Zetec. For the spark, what's are the differences and pros/cons of each? My impression is that the omen is easier and more complete, but also more expensive - that fair? Will I need TPS for both?

Thanks

Have a look at nodiz, I had a fisher fury running a 2.0l silvertop on a chester sports cars bike carbs (zx6 I think) and megajolt jnr kit, ran really well. Chester have recently gone over to nodoz I think they may have been finding it difficult to source edis modules. Worth a search on both. You will need either a tps or a map sensor, most go for just the tps, you should be able to use the one that comes with the bike carbs.

If you're going zetec, why not use bike thottle bodies instead of carbs and go injected

I've got a Megajolt and been happy with it. It works well enough and is easy to change the map.

I use the TPS on my ZX6 carbs.

If I was doing it again i would use the ZX9 carbs with tps and a Megajolt.

Having tried injection I think I would rather spend some of the money on cams and better gearbox ratios and use the rest for a Caribbean holiday...

Doesn't need to be expensive-especially since zetec already has fuel rail and injectors
Carbs+megajolt vs Throttle bods + megasquirt + fuelpump + couple of sensors

But I guess its all a personal preferance thing

is your x/flow up for sale?

if yes please sent me a PM with the spec. and condition.

thanks

I use Megajolt with my Zetec powered Royale single seater, using R1 carbs and Map. I have just spent 2 weeks in France hill climbing and received an incredible amount of comment about how much torque the motor has............

Interesting on the megajolt, how did you map - yourself, or someone else for you?

Another option appears to be Nodiz. Less around on it, but the unit itself appears to have more stuff inbuilt than MJ.

The Xflow will probably be up for sale at some point later this year - 1700cc, 1300 cams, polished head, BCF2 cams, bike carbs and manifold from BB are the highlights.

I just used someone else's map and tweaked it. No idea how much power it makes but it runs really well.

The NODIZ offers the best value for money and functionality and being a Zetec the map is readily available.

Nodiz is quite new, its a standalone system so doesn't need the EDIS4 (which are getting a little harder to find now) - and so far folk seem to like it

megajolt has been around for a while now and is a little out of date, but it a proven product and the EDIS4 actually gives you a backup (ford designed it to run on its own in 'limp home mode' if the ECU ever failed)
Its possible to do megajolt for less £ than Nodiz, but you need to source the donor bits yourself - which means searching the local scrapyards for early 90's fords...

the new megajolt 2 will also not require an EDIS - but it could be ages before that's on the market (there other projects have the priority)

We have just added the Megajolt Map import feature also which will spread the 10x10 map over the 16x16 map of the nodiz, so any MJ maps can now be easily used
