Megajolt2

Will the Megajolt2 as refered to in your 'state of the nation (well megajolt) address' still require a 36-1 trigger wheel? or will it be able to be triggered by, say a hall sensor in a distributor?

Hi,

Essentially, Megajolt2 will be an EDIS+MJLJ replacement, with additional capabilities that will transcend the existing system. So, it's primarily a crank-fired ignition system.

Currently, I would envision a programmable distributor-based ignition system as a different project- I would prefer it this way rather than making one piece of hardware try do to everything. This is where other systems become excessively complex and difficult to build, configure and run.

Regards,

I know this may be a long way off, but I would be VERY interested in the capability for dual plug. Along with this comes a need for offset of the second set of plugs, depending on combustion chamber shape. This can be done easily enough with two complete Megajolt/EDIS systems working off one VR sensor. But I was wondering if you had considered it, as it would be very sweet (and clean!) to do it with one Mega2 module and one VR and double the coilpacks.

Yes- once we have direct control over the coil drivers all sorts of interesting things become possible. Likely not for the first release, but should be supportable through software enhancements. Let's continue this topic and others- I'll be making a Megajolt2 section of the forums where stuff like this can live.

Thanks Brent. BTW, I didn't dyno my car, but everyone who drove it was curious where the extra power came from. Just spent the last weekend at Carlisle PA Import/Replica show. The only thing I changed mechanically was the ignition

That is excellent! Has the weather improved enough where you can drive it often?

It's warm enough, if it would just stop raining

Hi Brent, any updates on Megajolt2? Some of the features described would be a great fit for my project compared to the current MJLT + EDIS solution.
