Administrators RTz Posted March 4, 2011 Administrators Share Posted March 4, 2011 The simplified answer: You need an engine position sensor (many types/kinds), a means of processing it (many methods), and of course the actual coils (lots of potential choices). That's the minimum. One example, Megasquirt with the right code, used with a Ford EDIS module & trigger, and matching coil pack. This is one of the least expensive paths. Another example would be an Electromotive HPV-1. There are many many ways to 'get there'. Depending on you're priorities, skills, and budget, it can be fairly simple or quite involved. If you can give us an idea of what you're after, I'm sure the list can be parsed down to something less daunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators RTz Posted March 4, 2011 Administrators Share Posted March 4, 2011 If you aren't comfortable with computers and have no desire to learn, I'd recommend staying away from Megasquirt. If you want to avoid computers altogether, the HPV-1, or SDS EFI will do the trick. Spend some time googling those two. Some of the aftermarket EFI systems are dead easy to use (in terms of the interface) and most any system these day's can run DIS. Some of them play well with the L28ET distributor (for an engine position sensor), making it nearly a bolt on. Here is one example, with GM coils...

Shisho Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 in regards to the last posted ignition arrangement with the eps and gm coils... is there a write up here that i could follow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators RTz Posted April 4, 2011 Administrators Share Posted April 4, 2011 In terms of 'how', it's pretty straight forward. A Wolf3D EMS drives the 6 GM coils directly (no ignitor needed). Wire up one channel per coil. The L28ET sensor is wired directly to Wolf's trigger input, with one additional hole added, making the disc a 6+1 wheel. KTM covered this fairly well here... http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/59666-wolf-v500-ems-installation-guide/ Coil bracket, part numbers, and schematic here... http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/61802-l6-dis-brackets-lsx-coils-now-available/page__p__570261__hl__dis__fromsearch__1#entry570261 Many standalone EMS's will do this, including Motec, Haltech, Vi-Pec, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
