Feck the power gains, they look slutty!!

Chop the firewall out, problem solved

The man speaks much sense!

[Adam]

Did a bit of scrap yard hunting today.
And got a complete EDIS system. Hopefully its in working order


Just need the MJ ecu, and some wiring to make a loom with now.

And then just the small bits i will need to buy(throttle cable,crank trigger etc etc etc)

[feel the force]

wot makes you want a mj ecu? ive just fimished today putting carbs and set up on my mates 2.0 ecotec engine we used the things you have in your pic,but we used a sierra 1.8 bottom pully for the firing teeth and a crank sensor from the same little time to get it firing but shes alive now

[Adam]

Because the MJ ecu controls the ignition.

Using the edis system alone gives ignition yeah, sat at 10degs btdc!
You get no ignition control/advance.

[John]

Lovin the plug lead removal , what model ford did you get it from ad?

[Adam]

N-plate Escort iirc John.

LOL @ at the lead removal comment.

The coilpack is mounted on the back of the block! WTF, only ford could mount something quite important in the stupidest place ever.
Must of took me an 40mins get to the screws after causing quite a bit of damage ripping bits of the engine off out the way

true mate i no what your sayin BUT we also thort bout this so the mount we had to make for the crank sensor we made in such a way that it can be ajusted to sort out the problem of befor/after tdc.its on a roling road next tuesday for the final set up so we will fing out how for were out im sure something may need a little ajustment.its fookin quick tho and its in a old opel kaddet

[Adam]

Huh? moving the crank sensor wont do anything.
Edis itself isn't a complete control system, it needs an ecu to tell it what to advance the ignition to.
If you've just wired edis up and are leaving it like that your ignition will sit at 10deg and wont move. It will drive terribly as the ignition advance isn't changing.
