hmmmm now i'm planning building a special 998 up and at first considered Megajolt to be a Mega pain in the arse.

But I've just sat and read through the whole thread,.. it's not so scary after all

I believe i might come across the same problem that Ethel did, as I have a Belt drive kit to replace the Timing chain.

hi

about the tacho of the dashboard. What we can do on the wiring in order to read rpm on classic tacho.

V4 spec.

thanks for advice and tipes

[The Matt]

You should be able to use the output on the back of the Megajolt for your tacho (rev counter). There is a picture on the first page of this thread.

[seb79]

you fit your wiring lom used forthe original coil (-) directly on this output and nothing else ? on the megajolt forum, they talk about problem to use their tacho. Did you refit your own tacho like you advice and nothing else ... i use the nippon tacho and gauge from last mini '90 's

up

[The Matt]

I ran a fresh wire from the output on the Megajolt to the back of my dash, then ran another fresh +ve wire into the tacho with a 5A fuse inline IIRC.
But I guess that's the same as using the original -ve coil wire that goes to the tacho really.

Belt kit made it easier for me if anything - depends where you're planning on putting the tooth wheel, as long as it's not between the fanbelt pulley and engine you'll be fine.

could you fit the white and black wire from the original coil to the rev counter gauge of the edis in order to got rpm on original 3 clocks ?

ive got a mini that had a megajolt v4 already fitted ..but it has no lead to conect to me lap top....where would i get one...thanx

Yes it should work. if not try taking the feed form the pip signal.

about the shift light, i wish to know what you think about a led buld of 5 w like we can find on this web site (for the V4)

[Ethel]

Not sure the MJ will put out enough current to drive all of those bulbs - spec's on line

[The Matt]

I gues you could drive it through a suitable relay though?

[seb79]

I (amper) = P (watts) / U (volts)

so 5 watts / 12 = 0,416 A

or 21 / 12 = 1,75 A so without resistance, it 's not usuable

For a 5 watts bulbs with leds, we got 0,416 A enought for a shift light ?
the shift light output, can drive 500 mA.

As fas as I'm concerned, this kind of led bulb could be great ! a realy for this you believe ?
