EDIS question

Rob T · 08-31-2012, 05:16 PM

Can you run an EDIS ignition system on a b230ft without using megasquirt ?

The conversion I am planning might make it very tight near the firewall where the current
distributor is .

my engine is an 89 B230FT . and I really don't want to go thru the trouble of a megasquirt
system .

I think you're on the wrong track here. EDIS would require a new trigger wheel, and without another computer (like a megasquirt) telling the EDIS box what advance you want, the timing will be stuck at 10 degrees.

What about going to a block mount distributor?

If you're running LH2.4, you can also convert the EZK to distributorless ignition using a conversion board that I sell. Link is in my sig.

Megajolt will run EDIS for ignition alone. I did this for my Amazon B20 and is simple enough.

yea . You are right , my main goal is to get away from the distributor . I like your system
but I think I have a 2.2 system . you will have to excuse my lack of knowledge I am new with these engines and am learning as I go .

Can I convert my engine to 2.4 and then install your system ?? If yes how do I go about this . I tried to do a search on the conversion but couldn't find anything maybe you could point me in the right direction . Thanks

I have a complete megajolt system laying around, but from my research I would still need the distributor for fuel triggering .

drop in a block mounted 240 dizzy?

i'm assuming that your car is a 240, and you are swapping in the b230ft into it.

Use the 240 distributor in the b230ft block. there is a hole in the block already for the distributor. It's a steel plug just pop that out, get a 240 auxillary gear (so that it can run the distributor) and viola!

I am going to swap a b230ft into a Triumph Spitfire . That is why everything is so tight .

Any idea where I can find the parts to do the distributor change ??

Karl Buchka · 09-12-2012, 09:00 AM

Pretty much any 240 will have the parts you need. Pop that plug out and look down the hole. If the aux shaft has a gear cut in to it, you just need a 240 distributor. If there's no gear, you're going to need the aux shaft from a 240 as well.
