SPI TUNNING

[markcaffo]

i have a newly rebuilt 1275 spi i have sage 2 manifold and exsaust i know u cant do much with the ecu i seen a company in england that do a ecu that u can program to suit ur car has any one ever tryed any thing like this

[cbyrne]

i have herd of this its the mega jolt. i would work with the ecu you have go new cam as spi cam is useless!!! after that if you still want more power west waed engineering will port polish ur head fit double valve springs and bigger valves for 350€ only thing about mega jolt you have to change the clutch sensor as the ecu cant read it which is why im working as best i can with mine.

[markcaffo]

was thinking new head new cam reading about this ecu thing in the mini mag where you can adjust your ecu to suit and it works with all spi sensors its like £650

Megajolt works with a throttle position sensor or a MAP sensor, nothing to do with the clutch.

but dont they have to be programed after you buy it?? no one really care about injection minis we show them what power is

[markcaffo]

it a sc typhoon plug and play spi unit here is there web page

tell me about it u cant bet the trottel response

i just bought a swift tune sw5-07 cam for my mini can wait to get it:)

[markcaffo]

im going to break in my engine and then start adding on the bits let us know how u get on with that cam did it cost u much

[cbyrne]

80€ brand new i no a few ppl in england with minis all driving spi/mpi

[markcaffo]

thats alright ill see how u get on with it before i get 1

dont forget Mark that the engine has to come out an be striped to fit a cam, the cylinder head will also need work as well as valve geometry to see any power increce,

I have fitted one of these SC ECU it is a neet piece of kit and worked well with the mods I done to the engine,

i am thinking of keeping the spi in do them units work well and are they hard to set up

Yes you have to programme them when you fit them, but there are plenty of ignition maps available on the web for you to try, programming is done via a lap-top which plugs into the MegaJolt and this makes changing maps a very simple process.

Both myself and Woody have started on fitting Megajolts to our cars, next thing to do is to sort the looms out.


Autosport Labs who make the Megajolt also make the MegaSquirt for those wishing to go the fuel injected route.

[markcaffo]

the one i was looking at the website says it doesnt need any mods to the wireing to fit in and its only £550 they fit and set them up on a rolling road if u want always need a reason to go over to england

[The Marcos Graveyard]

There are no mods to the Mini's loom, but you need to make up a separate loom to connect the sensors to the MegaJolt itself.
