I know a lot of guys are running electronic ignition in their cars but what are they running 'em with...
Right now I have a stock 2.0 rebuilt about 2k miles and 6years ago. I want to switch to electronic ignition with the ability to upgrade as I put more money into the motor. Ultimately I would like to maintain Sunday drive reliabity while boosting horse power in the long run, most likely with a bigger type 4 engine. Resale value is not a huge issue for me since I have no real plans to sell the car in the future... THIS time I am asking for advice so let the opinions fly (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

for the D-jet cars, there is a pair of mechanical contact points near the bottom of the distributor, what these dois they complete a circuit (pull to ground) to tell the ECU to fire the injectors...very basic and simple and reliable for the most part. Near the base of the distributor, you'll see a connector with 3 pins, the center pin is ground, the other two are the trigger routes, one or the other will always be grounded when the car is running
The problem is that due to this triggering method, for most people, you had no other options but to run the factory distributor if you kept the factory fuel injection (D-Jet only) there is nothing "wrong" with the factory stuff, this new circuit just opens up more options for people to change out there ignition to newer aftermarket items. |
