NoahDL88 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarutex Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Megasquirt It will do fuel and spark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 Essentially yes, but I don't want a distributor, I'm going for maximum waterproofness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zefy Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 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/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
