i recently bought and installed a tacho driver from trigger wheels.
works fine up to 1500 rpm then drops to zero, anyone else had this issue
using with a megajolt lite on a mk3 escort

hi scrum, i can convert an ecu for you but you need quite a few parts, the kit is a bit pricey as you wont use a lot of it this is what you need megajolt ecu (buy from webshop on this site ) get a map sensor version edis 4 module complete with plug and a bit of loom (few inches is enough) 36-1 trigg...

there are a few 1.6 cvh's out there with nearly 300 bhp m8, ive got a friend with a ZVH conversion with 320bhp,
with full efi injection the 1.9 i have will reach a comfortable and quite reliable 300bhp at about 16 psi

thanks for the reply brent, its on a rolling road on saturday so ill check for spikes then

im getting an intermittent fault on the rev limiter, unfortunatly when its happened i havent had a tester to hand to check but im pretty sure either the ecu is sending out signals when it shouldnt or the rev limiter is juts cutting in, it only happens on initial starting and is very random, ive chan...

yes v3, im using the tach output to control the rev counter and yes both faults seemed to happen at the same time or certainly very close together, ill check with a timing light tomorrow to see whats happening, i did still have communication with teh laptop for about a week after the faults started ...

i only use one of the outputs on my mjlj, this was output 2, for some reason last week this has now stopped working, also at the same time the rev counter has developed a very irratic reading, above 2500rpm all is fine but below even though engine idle is spot on the rev counter is bouncing about fr...

they are as said above m8 fuel lines, the car still uses the original k jetronic mechanical injection system which uses a metering head, same system thats on all xr3i's, early porsche 924's and merecedes and a lot of renaults

after buyiong a genuine turbo technics kit for my mk3 escort rs1600i i was a little miffed that i would be unable to keep using the standard twin coil setup that makes the cars unique, that was until i started researching the mjlj, needless to say its now not only arrived but is installed and runnin...

just bought one thanks for the link, hopefully this will solve the problem

oh worrying that, definatly only cuts the supply to the coils (runs twin coils) restarts fine though, ive tried various limits starting with 3000rpm as a trial, this has only been tried stationary so far so not sure if it makes a difference when driving or not. im happy to buy the proper rev limit b...

ive got the rev limiter output simply connected to a relay which interupts power to the coils, havent driven it yet with the limiter set but on trials in the garage the relay cuts in as expeted when the limit is reached but as the revs drop i would expect the revs to pick up again as the throttle is...

soon to be running a turbo 1.9cvh i thought i would test the wiring/ecu on the existing engine first, all wiring is factory standard and the MJLJ is fitted in the cars original ecu case to utilise the cars harness and plugs the only difference being the plug which is for the rev limit circuit which ...

thanks for the reply, its not fitted to the car yet but youve told me what i need to know, just for the gallery here is a pic of the old ecu case that its now hidden in and it also now utilises the OE spec wiring even down to the cable that runs 90% of the way to the sensor http://i22.photobucket.co...

just a couple of daft questions based on a edis 4 does anyone know which cylinders will be fired by the coil A output?? the reason i ask is im not using the standard ford coil pack but a twin coil setup which produces a wasted spark at the moment one coil does cyliders 2&3 and the other does 1&a...
