Looks interesting. Really want to see this happen.

The bluetooth adaptor I got from a Laptop is a broadcom bcm924nmd. It seems it's more of a USB interface jusdging by what I can find on pinouts... need to try it still, but not very hopeful.

Keep up the great work Brent.

Laptop module probably won't be suitable. Looking to purchase one of the proper units that say they'll convert any rs232 device to bluetooth. How likely is this tuning app will happen? Don't really want to buy the hardware if the app doesn't happen. Looking round, I can get an adaptor for about £35....

I'm looking into whether or not it would be possible to use an old bluetooth module from a dead laptop... got one on order from good old ebay... should be able to do something with it. Currently thinking it could mount in a small plastic project box and include a 9 pin serial port to connect to the ...

sorry, not got round to doing this yet. The pulley is a lot larger than my other capri running a Pinto... so not sure how i'm going to do it yet.

nice idea... but if you use the "tach out" on the MJLJ, the tell tale that the unit isn't working is that the rev counter simply stops working... if engine still running then it's in limp home mode on the EDIS.

My brother is running an XE in his Berlinetta Coupe, but he's on the standard Calibra ignition and Motronic injection.

trigger wheel is concentric... VR sensor brackets are aluminium. The thing is, when I first set all this up it was rock steady 10 degrees. I'll make up new brackets in the next few weeks from some stainless steel shet I have here. I should be able to fold the edges to give more rigidity.

The leads are resistive, would having resistive plugs not be too much? The PIP and SAW lines are shielded and the EDIS is 2 feet away from the plugs. I will certainly get some plugs and try it though.

using NGK AP7FS plugs in a 2.1 Pinto engine. Running Motorcraft 8mm silicone leads. Trigger wheel is bolted to the front crank pulley which is a solid cast steel item so no chance of any movement there as it's located to the crank by a woodruff key. http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m227/capri_turb...

There is definately no problem with the Megajolt unit as it was disconnected and running ONLY on the EDIS. I have used 2 different EDIS4 units and got the same 9 degree jump... always 9 degrees... measured at idle and 3000 rpm... 9 degrees every time. With MJLJ connected I still get the 9 degree jum...

I've had the MJLJ running for over 2 years now with no issues, but recently the engine has become harsh... Just checked the timing with the Jolt unplugged and I find the timing is jumping 9 degrees... not drifting around, but a jump and the same 9 degree jump at any revs. Most of the time it's at 19...

Nice to see another Capri running MJLJ. Nice to see the original info from my own Capri install is coming in useful to others. Mines been on for nearly 3 years now and not had one single failure or even a hiccup. Brilliant system, well suited to the Pinto. Going to MJLJ my 2.8i Turbo next... that sh...

Got 2 Capris... one of which is a Turbo Technics 2.8i... this is next on the list for MJLJ when funds permit... got the V3 controller done and working... just need the rest of the stuff.

nice to hear it's running... Been there done that on the tacho... see page 1 of this thread... guessing you missed that bit. Anyway, glad it's running...

The MJLJ will work with Capri tachos but ONLY 85 on... you need the one with adjustment potentiometer on the back. I think I've covered this issue on the Laser page for Nat a while back, but it could have been on CapriPower... same issues with 24V conversions... definately covered it on CP for this ...
