Hi guys

My names Josh Dwyer from the great land of Aus

My vicim for the megajolt project is a 84' toyota corolla KE70.

The car has the following:

Engine:
A 1.8 Ltr 3tc out of a Toyota T18 (replaces the stock 1.3 Ltr)
Stromberg off of a Volvo
Misc extractors
Megajolt (Duh!)

Suspension:
Front has coilovers with 8kg springs
Whitline swaybar
Rose jointed LCA's
25mm RCA's
Power steering arms off of a Toyota Sprinter
Cusco strut brace.

Rear has new shocks with 6Kg springs
Whitleine Swaybar
Cusco panhard
Welded Diff

Brakes:
Toyota Sprinter calipers and disks.
Custom race brakepads from QFM.

The interior is fully stripped with minimal dash and driver and passenger seat all that is remaining.

Please dont lynch me for the bracket. Still have a bit of tidying up yet.

Also the coil i used was for a subaru if anyone cares.

That bracket looks pretty stout! One way to improve it is to triangulate a piece on the inside corner, but small enough to clear the pulley.

The distance between the sensor and pulley face should be a bit closer, if possible. Approximately 1mm is ideal.

Thanks for the write up! Good use of the subaru coil pack.

Got the coilpack and megajolt mounted.

Still some tidying up to do but it runs great.

Also replace the stromberg as it hated the rev limiter.

Must be in the range of 1997 to 2000.

The pre 97 cars had the coil on each plug.

Sorry Ken, the 1990 up Suby EJ series ALL had a coilpack, not COP. At least in USA, I don't know about anywhere else.

Here in the UK we only have quite a limited range, mainly the 3 cyl Justy

, Legacy and Impreza, these run mainly with either EJ20G (COP)
or EJ20K (wasted spark) engine, after 97 we got the EJ22 in the Legacy, but we never were offered the 2.5 engine until the last few years.

Infact we never had the RS or WRX/STi models until after 2002.

Saying that my Legacy was an RS, and my Impreza is a STI but both were/are "Grey" imports,
and not approved for use in the UK, or supported by the dealers.

I guess it makes sense to some bean counters, but it never made too much sense to me to have different products all around the world. I like the variety that affords, though.
