April 25, 201114 yr Anyone running the EJ ignition system on an EJ'd car? I'm planning a swap, but I'm not going to use the EJ fuel system, but would like the slightly more waterproof nature of the coil pack instead of a disty. So, I'm pretty sure the EJ ignition will still work without a signal from the gas tank or the injectors, but realistically, how many sensors can I cut out and still have a functional ignition system? I know I can go with the Ford EDIS, but would rather stay Subie so I can get parts easier.
April 26, 201114 yr So are you trying to run a carb, but still use the ignition and crank sensors? hmmm, interesting. I could see it would work, but you might have to come up with a way to have a dynamic timing curve, maybe keep the CTS and whatever will sense load for the advance
April 26, 201114 yr Author Essentially yes, but I don't want a distributor, I'm going for maximum waterproofness.
April 28, 201114 yr i know a guy that kept electronic ignition but did not use the subaru components. I have no idea how he actually did it, but i think he ended up using GM coils. this was on a 72 porsche 911 with an ej251 swap with carbs. he is an engineering wizard and i'm sure he'll die with all of his secrets... but the concept stands... http://www.porubi.com/
