So I'm in the process of planning my engine build out and have decided to go with a megajolt rather than a dissy. Does anyone here have any experience with megajolt and a sidedraft carb?
I've got a non-emissions dellorto 40 I want to use on what I plan to be a bored out 1100. I've read that using a throttle postion sensor on a side draft is preferable to using a MAP setup, does anyone have any thoughts on this, or experiences?

Cheers

Nick

I believe throttle position sensor would be best. I'm tackling a Megajolt install on my alfa (twin dellortos) this year so I'm faced with the same problem. I will be going for throttle position sensor if I can sort out the mounting and wiring. I've also seen quad throttle bodies using one map sensor drawing vacuum from the intake manifold using an oversized vacuum line like a fuel rail but big enough to smooth out the vacuum pulses. To be honest I still haven't decided which I will go with, but I hope in all this there is something of use to you.
