max RPM with EDIS system? (megajolt)
Turbo Mini Forums

whats the max RPM that the EDIS system is capable of? and whats stopping it from turning even quicker?

sure i've read its around 9000-10,000

okay, will be around my redline then... whats making the EDIS or coil pack or whatever give up then?

It is basically to do with the processor speed on the MegaJolt board will not support computing the advance quickly enough at high engine speeds I believe.
Do some reading on the MegaJolt specific sites for more detailed info.

Dont think the Megajolt is the problem, its the EDIS unit or the FORD coil that cant cope with it. I have tried investigating a bit on the brent piccasso (sp?) site.

Its the EDIS that is the problem not the coil pack. I think it is just to do with processing speed of the EDIS, either it can't process the speed of the input from the timing wheel or it can't switch the coli fast enough. Safe to say, whichever it is it is the limiting factor. I have a mate running a it on an Imp engine that pulls over 9000 with no problem. If you want to rev further you will have to ditch the EDIS and choose another ignition system that the MS/MJ offers.

A man without a project is like a like a woman without a shopping list.

okay, any idea what other ign. system that may work with the MJ?

none will...

MJ is design to work with EDIS... as its a VERY smart simple system.

If you want more than 9k... well your probably not on a turbo... run MS

Yep, you can use the V3 MS and run it with just a crank trigger but you'll need to add another coil triggering IC circuit to the unit.

thanks, this will not be a problem I guess, as I stopped at around 8500 last summer, but tried 9300 a few times. We will try with MJ and see how it goes, I bet it will be just fine. its for a 1071 BTW
