The MJLJ is a complete, stand

Post by brentp »

The MJLJ is a complete, stand-alone crank fired ignition system that is fully programmable.

It does not 'retard' ignition per-se, it allows you to fully program the ignition curve.

Since it's a stand alone system, It's not designed to 'piggy back' on existing engine management systems; it controls the ignition system independently.

For perspective, I'm using it on my turbocharged 1985 toytota MR2. I'm running completely stand-alone, using a MJLJ/Megasquirt combination; stock ECU was eliminated.

Also check out the screenshots of the configuration software:

Hope this helps.
