Klas I have to admit I took some educated guesses at ring land and deck volume......so it could be way off. I did measure the combustion chamber volumes though, and did the maths with those and book values for piston dish, ring land vol, and deck and gasket vol. It gave me 10.45-10.55 with the varyi...

Ah. I thought it was a bit obvious for me to be the first person to have thought about it.

Log view

At the moment I'm using gnumeric (open source spreadsheet app) to make graphs of the log data. This takes time and is hard to put more than a few parameters on a graph before you run out of y axes. I really like the realtime run data view of the configurator as it scales the axes and has that lilltl...

would be great to know how much the map changed after the RR sesion Yeh I'm looking forward to it. It's pretty close to being right as it is. I made a map based on the numbers given in the Haynes book for my old distributor. It gave various mechanical advances at various engine speeds and the amoun...

Hi Scott, Can't help with the MJLJ issues, but if all the tuning jargon is a little confusing, have a look on Dave Walker's website. This helped me get my head around it all. Good info on all the sensors and what they do and why you'd want them etc. There's a lot of stuff on there about injection an...

Ta. Enjoyed writing it.

It did turn out a bit long though, but I guess more is better than less.

Er, it's full of petrol

Been up and running for a week now, 400 miles without a hitch. Only one small problem. I was having a fiddle with the MJLJ the other day, and took the vac pipe off the back (engine not running). A small amount of petrol jumped out at me, so I took the MJ apart to have a look. The vac pipe was full o...

Finished install in a Mini

Right, I finished it a week ago, so here are the build pics. This is a bit of a how-to, and a bit of a how-not-to. I don't have my own camera, and haven't been able to borrow one since I finished, so all the pics are of the build. Proof it works will follow. Promise. It all started when brother took...

Tacho

Hello again, It's all sorted and running now. Chuffed to bits. Pics and write up to follow in the Powered by Megajolt forum. The only thing I need now is a functioning Tacho. My old TIM one doesn't register off the tach out signal. Does anyone have any experience with this type of tacho? It required...

Thanks Ken. That's all I need to convince me it can be done, so I'll give it a go.

Connectors

Evening all, Not entirely MJLJ specific, but I reckon this is as good a place to ask as any. I have just got my EDIS and coil from trigger-wheels.com (cop out I know, but I'm on a bit of a tight schedule here). All the multipins have nice little short bits of wire on, which would be pretty easy to s...
