I will have a dig around for you when I get in from work later and see what I can find regarding XE's being fitted with Megajolt.

Weber do a bracket that will allow you to attach the throttle position switch(TPS) to your carbs,you will then need a TPS and a spindle to bring it all together.

I am not sure what the Crank trigger wheel is like on a XE so not 100% certain you can use your original trigger wheel.

It all depends how hands on you want to get really,if you have built a Westy then you can make a lot of the bracketry and bits you need.

[Hammy]

have a good look at the web site I pointed you to, plus a general google for  "megajolt" will show a lot of sites where people have fitted the device, just a case of reading up on it. Aslo worth a search of this forum.

I would comtact MartinM on the MJ website....he can sell you a unit pre built, along with the instructions.....budget on £180 for the lot...........

You will need:

Megajolt unit, software and instructions

36-1 trigger wheel (try http://www.trigger-wheels.com/)

throttle position sensor

A ford VR sensor (for crank position)

Ford EDIS module

Ford coil pack

A plug to put in the hole where your distributor was

Automotive grade wire

A lap top (pref a good one with usb 2)

Brackets for the VR sensor, and Throttle position sensor

New HT leads

Lots of patients,...

I bought most of my stuff from the trigger wheels website....it saved me looking around the scrappies, but cost a little more.......

Also, the nice thing about the install is you can fit the sensors, and everything else with the distributor still in place, so your car only needs to be off the road when you actually power up MJ for the first time

Does anyone know of a company who will supply, install and set up a megajolt system?

[Johnson]

Chris,

I have searched about a bit and it looks like you cannot use the original crank trigger wheel on your XE engine.

Where to start,reading the Megajolt forums and the build instructions that are on there would be my first port of call.

If you do not feel confident enough to build the board yourself Bill Shurvinton who posts on here can supply fully built units.

The majority of bits can be purchased from a breakers yard apart from the trigger wheel(search for cng1 also on here) for that and other bits and pieces.

BHouse,I have not heard of any garage/tuner supplying and fitting a kit but some of the other embers may have.Can I ask what car its going to go on?

[bhouse]

It's for my 11 which has a BMC 'A' series 1275.

whats the megajolt website? are you talking about the autosportslabs site or another that one looks like an american site

chris

[Johnson]

Chris yes it is the Atosportlabs website you need.

Brian if you look on the KAD website they do a premade bracket for mounting the crank sensor.I think lots of people on the Turbominis website have fitted Megajolt as well.

Johnson

thanks will do.

[bhouse]

Johnson - thanks!

[Hammy]

Correct me if I'm wrong , but I'm sure Bill has stopped supplying Megajolt units, but a search or someone else will reveal who has taken up the torch and is now supplying them.

I've one of Bills last ones (should be a collectors item in years to come   ).

Stuff apears on Ebay, again search Megajolt, got all  my bits from there.

Worth a good read aruond on the subject !!

[cng1]

Martin Millener is the chap that has taken over megajolt supply.  Top bloke.
