Default Ignition management.

I'm looking to use a programmable DIS system on my Mk2 Fiesta build, and I'm looking around at whats available to run the ignition. The problem I'm having is finding positive (or negative) comments either way on the different brands.

I dont suppose anyone on here could help with any knowledge they might have on the situation.

At the minute, I'm keenly eyeing up an Emerald MD3k jobbie.
But, what else is available?

(p.s. it'll be a 2.0 ZVH, using the Zetec fly + CPS, and a Throttle pot on a set of 45's/R1 Carbs).

Cheers,
Pornstarr

Always been impressed with Dave Walkers' (Emerald) write ups. But overall I think the key to getting things right end up being more down to the guy who maps the system rather than the system itself.

Megasquirt can use the 36-1 flywheel, ford CPS and EDIS wasted spark module directly.

I've had a look at megajolt, but it's a bit amature, and unsightly.
The Emerald (or OMEX) ECU has coil drivers etc built in, so no need for the EDIS. They're also far more mappable by all accounts.

Have a look at Gotech MFI-STD.

Has been fitted and tested in Performance Ford Mag (S2 RS turbo)

Very well priced, can run coil packs direct from the ecu - no amplifiers needed!
