Due to my ITB project I have no room for dizzy anymore and I need to find some alternative way to fire the spark and what would be better than Megajolt Lite jr. :)
I'm sure that this has been stated some where but what I would like to know is that could I use the MAP sensor that is in my MegaSquirt? I cant get the MPX4250 locally. Or could I use some other suitable MAP?

Thanks!

I think you could use any map sensor, up to 2.5 Bar Absolute, that would work between 0-5 volts
It all depends on what you want to use it for?

The Megasquirt and MJLJ use exactly the same MAP sensor anyway, so if you have one from a Megasquirt, then it'll work fine in an MJLJ.

Or is the question if you can use a single one for both simultaneously?

Yeah my original idea/question was that if I could use single one for both simultaneously.

Can I use the megajlot jr 2.01 without a turbo? I want to use carbs and no turbo. Does it need to be changed to a vacuum sensor/ Framis

Yes

Remember that turbo cars still need to be tuned for vacuum conditions as well.

The map sensor's range varies from vacuum to boost. If you're running normally aspirated, the map sensor will simply measure the amount of vacuum- so you will be fine.
