Hi 1970wonky, I got my rad back and tried your map as promised, it works well generally. In some rev/vacuum ranges better, low end was worse, mid range similar, just after mid range the engine seemed to pick up better with your map, medium high range worse, very top end (now i've run my engine in) s...

Hi, I mounted my trigger wheel to the engine side of the crank pully on the flat surface. I had this braized on due to the problems with welding to cast iron, and then turned on a lathe to take any 'out of center' metal from the teeth. I used a 6.5" with 5.25" (i'm pretty sure but you'll h...

So thats a good result then, the car does go well with the mod's i've made.

If you look at the runtime chart pic above you can see where the chart stops and the peaks go beyond, not at rest but under accelleration. So i guess i've done something right :)

No more thickness then. I've only just started playing around properly with the values so forgive me. I just took the car out for another spin with the N/A box unticked and was hitting 104Kpa. I'm only in Worcestershire (not to low) but i guess it's because of the blue skys and sunny where i am - me...

Sorry i think i'm being a bit thick. My car is N/A and i take it 100kpa is atmospheric so the reading couln't pysically go higher unless by forced induction. I was looking at the runtime chart and thinking it was going of the scale as it was hitting the top. Saying that though is there any way to ch...

Thanks for the quick response.

As you see (as picture 1) this is what i'm getting with the ignition map loads (as picture 2), or am i supposed to be doing something else?

Load Kpa Dial

Hi all, I know how to adjust the ignition bin values, i.e the load bins which i have no. 10 at 120. How do i change the dial and runtime chart to show this reading. At the moment the dial is going off maximum when i drive and the chart shows a straight line at the top while the reading is above the ...

What sort of value would be of benefit to help starting, a lower value? (I'm still using the generic map)

Yep, quite right, i do have Eaton M45 from a Mini. The whole reason i changed the ignition to MJLJ was to get rid of the old dizzy to make room for the blower. I'll post it up when its in. :lol:

Here's the VR sensor and trigger wheel. The bracket is far from pretty but is strong and does the job well. I had the wheel welded on to the crank pully, done by eye, and then turned to take any 'off center' discrepency.

Triumph Spitfire 1500 1976

Had the MJLJ in for a bit now and is up and running properly, still some tidying up to do with the installation and some tweeking of the ignition timing. The car runs much smoother now with an increase in power, definately the best modification i've done to the car.

Hi, I bought one from directusbstore.co.uk - USB 2.0 to RS232 Adaptor (9 Pin) with 1m cable (SL042) with no problems what so ever reading the MJLJ. The only problem I had was trying to install the driver on an aging PC (as a test), with XP - not so easy. The driver did install with no probs at all o...
