Your work blocks Photofucket?Originally Posted by stat1K
my work blocks a lot, working at a bank has it's perks and it's downfalls... but it's weird they only know of a few photobucket servers, so when they're hosted on like img42.photobucket.com i can see them, but the others i can't. lame... you could also use one of my friends sites, www.megajesus.com, then it could be your megajesus megasquirt thread

Wow the MegaJesus name has got me rofling! HAha!
yeah kid's a freakin genius with funny stuff like that... i love it.

So update on the project. I've got my VR sensor bracket built. I did some horrible welding and some decent welding, all of which I ground off and painted over! HA! It looks fairly ghetto, but I'm not a master fabricator yet...
Here's the bracket with the sensor mounted on it... I slotted the holes for some adjustability. Figure I can also put washers behind them to move the whole thing back if I need to.
Here is it mounted on the back of the block. The sensor is lined up really well with where the trigger wheel will be. I'll have to space the wheel out off the crank pulley so that the sensor doesn't hit the water pump belt, but I think it needs to be spaced out for the sensor anyways...
Another pic from a differnt angle...
And here it is in paint:
I sprayed it with wrinkle finish just for the hell of it. Might look kinda cool, not like you'll see it really anyways, plus it will hide my terrible work.
looks good...now you can tune it also...sweet set up

Oh yeah, it will be computer tunable now. :-P
The guys at Autosport Labs just told me they had a delay and are sending me an assembled hard rev limiter instead of the kit! And I got notice that my MegaJolt kit shipped out this evening, so I will hopefully get it by Thursday or Friday!
sweet 2geezmegageezus!
and still no hosting on tinypic, i'm dying inside here at work.

You're not missing much. Just some pics of some crappy bent steel. Also, no internet at home or something?
thats cool let them handle it....it will be cool to see it get dyno tuned for max hp out of that engineOh yeah, it will be computer tunable now. :-P

Well the "ECU" came in finally w00t! So I can start hooking it all up this weekend. Gonna get the trigger wheel mounted hopefully tomorrow night, wire it Saturday and test and tune Sunday! If all goes well that is! w00t! Look how tiny it is, fits in the palm of my hand!
HOLY! thats alot smaller then i was expecting....

So here's tonight's update. I went and spent $100 on electrical shit. I bought 1lb of solder which was probably way more than I'll ever use. But it will be nice to always have it. That was like $25. Bought an adjustable soldering iron base station for $28. 6 spools of different color of wire for different shit like $3.60 each. 10 feet of vacuum line for the MAP sensor for like $5.00. And some shielded 2 conductor wire for the VR sensor and the SAW and PIP signals from the EDIS controller.
Wired up these goddamn molex connectors. The MJLJ manual says to use 16GA wire for ground. So I just bought it for everything except the shielded wire. Turns out 16 is just barely too big for the molex pins that it comes with. Not only that, but crimping the fuckers is a pain in the ass. So I decided to add a dab of solder to each wire to be sure it wouldn't slip out. My connections look like shit, maybe I'll pick up the actual crimpers tomorrow.
Either way, it seems to connect up good, and looks pretty good when it's done.
I only wired up the basics for now. When I verify it's all working, I'll be wiring in the rev limiter, the user output switches for my progressive shift light, and probably will be wiring in an ECT sensor so I can correct the timing depending on the engine temp (retard the timing if it overheats, advance it if it's cold).

yay win

w00t! Hooked up the MegaJolt to my computer, hooked up a 12v power supply! And verified communication! I downloaded the map that was pre-programmed into the computer. Just had to post a pic... Pretty slick shit for under $200. $80 if you build it yourself. Fucking awesome.
This was the default timing map that came with it. I'm gonna have to surf around (maybe the 1stgencivic forum) see if anybody has put any kind of ignition map to use on an EK1 motor.
I figure I'll go off of the base timing in the manual and see how things go from there. But what's weird is that the book says to set the timing to 0 degrees. But if you look at the manual for an 82-83 EK1, I believe it's like 14 degrees BTDC. I can't fathom the port layout change between the engines causing the need for 14 degrees of change. Or maybe the 0 degrees that you set the 81 EK1 to is really firing at 14 degrees but 0 degrees for your timing light. Meh! I'll figure out a good map for this thing one way or another...

Good stuff... idk wtf im looking at tho

Epic win so far! I want that for the sake of playing around with them with the computer!
Started mounting the trigger wheel on the crank pulley tonight.
Turns out I lined up the fucking wheel on the wrong mark. Instead of using my 90 degree mark, I used the mark from the VR sensor that I made to align the whole thing. Fucking pissed, because this came out damn nice. And I know I'm going to fuck up somehow when I try to line up the next 3 holes. ARGH!!!

God how I hate when I screw things up. If it makes you feel any better, I can't tell you how many things I put together during my engine rebuild that I got to take right back apart again because I forgot to put something important in.
You're doing awesome work here man. I love this thread. When I get the Bimmer in better shape, I'll definitely be looking more seriously into this conversion.

awsome work man, its comeing out nicely, one question though do you have to get the pully balenced or are you not that concerned about it as its a lower hp motor
Eh, I dunno. That was originally my concern when I first saw the trigger wheel done. I don't think that it's going to be much concern. It's very well centered, and at the most, it could be a couple grams out of balance. I'm thinking that after I get the car running with this, I'll probably get a bubble balancer of some sort and just eat away a little bit of it until its as good as I can do myself. I don't think it's any worse than buying an aftermarket flywheel that's not been balanced after machining. Cygnus has been running his A20 for about 2 years I'd say (IIRC) with his. We will see how bad it really looks once it's on the car.
