Megasquirt Stand Alone and Ford EDIS


Recommended Posts

What steps do i need to take to run megasquirt and EDIS? i know i have to run a cam sensor. how do i do that? Maybe a Crank Sensor of some sort.

 

That way i can plug the Dizzy hole and get rid of the gear on the cam shaft.

 

any ideas greatly appreciated.

 

should i just stick with the Magna Dizzy.

First you need a MS, and a full EDIS setup.

I bought my EDIS setup on Ebay 2 weeks ago, for $10! I haven´t seen it yet, I´m still in Brazil. I´ll see it next week when I get home.

You can, but don´t need a cam sensor. You can run it off the 36-1 wheel and hall sensor that comes with the EDIS setup. That´s what most people do.

Also you can use a GM HEI7 module and lock the distrib down. Then you don´t have to fab anything and you can control the curve just like an EDIS.

 

Upside of a locked distrib, hard cut rev limiter and not much extra work

Downside, none really. I want to get rid of mine though

 

EDIS upside, easy to setup

Downside, fab´n it to fit and hard cut rev limiter isn´t possible since the EDIS module has a 10 degree limp mode built into it.

 

Also the cam, spider gear will have to stay

Shawn we do have a hard cut rev limiter for EDIS systems. It is also a two step rev limiter, great for raceing!

Cool! I didn't think the hard would work since the EDIS had the 10 degree "limp mode" built into it.

 

Nice work!!!!
