Darth, The power is approx 135BHP, so standard Supersprint output. Nick.

BTTT Come on, not even any comments 🤔

Thanks Matthew. Yes I will be sad to see it go, but I have really enjoyed the experience. And it's even quicker with the 3D Ignition..... 😬 😬 Nick.

Brian, The expert opinion is that a tuned Xflow is happier at a lower temp, so a 74deg stat is used. This gives a temp gauge reading of about 80deg in normal conditions. Not sure if you can recal the guage??? Nick.

Forgot to add: Oliver, Have you seen the map on my crap website, I adapted it from one Bill sent me. Seems to be a good starting point. here Nick.

Oliver, Do see the RPM move around in the Runtime Display simiar to the guy that posted on the Megajolt forum? I don't get this problem. My tickover is rock steady. (well normally within 50rpm or so). Can't offer any suggestions that haven't already been done, sorry. I'll try and scope the PIP signal if I every get any time to get in the garage. (Hence no updates on the state of play with Guinee Pig 1. I know feeble excuse) Let me know if you want me to try anything else. Nick.

Bill, Where are you???

Thanks Rowly. Yup, no sensor = no spark = AA Truck. But as Bill says there ain't a lot to wrong so should be very reliable. The sensor is the current version from Ford for an Escort. P/N: F7009578. £21.58 +VAT. As for 'hows it going' then I have only had chance to get out in the car once since I got the ECU going with a map donated by Bill. However, the car starts easier and does seem to pull better in 2nd and 3rd. You can see the map I'm using here Thanks, Nick.

Rowly, I've made a new VR Sensor bracket which should be more sturdy, whadya think? MegaJolt Piccies Nick.

What you need is a place that re-conns alternators, they normall have a mount of old pullys. One problem you might have is that later pullys are a 17mm diameter hole where as yours will be a 15mm hole. Burtons might do some pullys as well. Regards. Nick.

Rowly, Yes, your right, it is a little exposed!! I did this part in a bit of a hurry. I did use a nyloc tho'!! I do have plans to make a better bracket that the sensor will locate into rather than sit ontop of, this should stop any possible rotation of the sensor around the bolt. It's also a little closer to the fan belt than I'd like, I might reposition it aswell, but that means rotating the trigger disc a little. Regards, Nick

Ferrino, Take a look here towards the bottom of the page, just added a couple of photos. Regards, Nick.

OK, Didn't get to do much of a blat yesterday, but the second map has made a difference, car definatly starts better and seams to pull better from 2nd. I also seam to have alot more 'pops' on overrun 🤔 😬 I think the next step is a rolling road session as I don't have the expertese to know what to change in the map, I think the cam in the car that the map came from came in at a higher rpm than mine does, so maybe need to drop the advance figures down the rpm range a little?? But, the system works. It's relativly easy to instal. It's very cheap and even with a basic map it's better than a dizzy. 😬 Thanks to Bill and Guy for getting this off the ground. 1st happy customer, Nick.
