4age with edis on a budget

mbehrens · Post by **mbehrens** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 11:29 pm

like title says lol... budget so i have accumilated some edis parts thanks to a friend from the forum. who sent me a e.d.i.s 4 (electric destributerless ignition system 4 cylynder) and coil back. and i have a 99 ford reanger v6 in my back yard so i pulled the trigger wheel and the vrs (Veriable relucter sensor).
you can get the VRS and trigger wheel from 1.9l during 90-93 v6 rangers 98-200x and v8 i think the 4.6 .

edis modual and coil pack you can get of 1.9l motors .

or you can buy them all at the parts store and trigger wheel varias companys make them..

i am doing this build using stock pullies no after market pullies becuase im broke lol...

no paying labor because i cant pay myself im that broke lol.. j.k.

i will be using a megasquirt to run the motor .

pictures soon computer difficulties.

here are some things that might help if you want to do this edis conversion

4age ecu pinout from alldata

ford edis4 modual pin out from alldata

ford edis wireing schematic from alldata

my wiring and some edis stuff from a buddy lol...

i will low amp weld it lol.... but tell you the truth i never checked to see if its aluminum and if its not i will find a way maybe a mig spool gun lol...but i will find a way i have access to alot of things lol...

its cast irn and will crack and seperate under descent loads. you need to find a way(tapping a hole and bolting it)to lacate it strongly before welding it. ( i found out the hard way.)

here are some shots of brentp's (designer of the AUTOSPORTLABS Megajolt Lite Jr. Programmable ignition controller) setup for his AW11 turbo'd 4AG.

bracket for his VR sensor:

mounted:

as per brentp:"The crank pulley was machined down to accommodate the timing wheel from a 1997 Ford Escort, and then tack welded in place. "

hope that helps guys.

Just curious but does this eleminate the need for a distributer? What gains does this have over stock? More Hp? More Torque? I really dont know much about this.

not much of a diffrence only gets rid of the distributor. the coil packs does give a hotter spark voltage so more gas burnage thats about it lol...

programmable EDIS will be far more accurate (the differences maybe negligible but still, more accuracy is better).
