DLI For 3SGE... Sort of.

This is my problem- I'm installing a 3SGE into a SA63 (what's new eh?) and I'm trying to work out how to manage my ignition. The intention is to use a Megasquirt, but I want to use the pickups in the distributor body instead of a wheel on the front pully like the Ford EDIS. Basically- what do I need between the distributor sensors & my spark plugs?

Thanks man. I had a dig and apparently need four "VB921", one per coil-on-plug. My main drama is that I have to lose the dizzy cap, thereby necesatating some way to ignite the spark plugs at the correct time some other way (hence DLI). I don't particularly want to bung a Ford EDIS-4 setup on (toothed wheel on the front of my motor?) but I didn't think the Megasquirt II had four igintion outputs. May have to wade through some more info...
cheers

Msquirt doesn't do Coil-on-plug - just waste spark.
i'll try to find the username of the person on here who's converted their 3sge to msquirt

AFAIK wasted spark and coil on plug are not mutually exclusive, you will just be firing two coils instead of one.

For waste spark you need 2 ignition outputs and 2trigger inputs , I'm running waste spark on my 3SGTE in my TA22 , I have kept the dizy for the triggers and discarded the cap and am using 2 4AGZE twin post coils and 2 Camry igniter's with Haltech ECU .

I'm not so sure about COP. I believe you CAN do it with a 2nd trigger input.
You have one wheel with many teeth, and one wheel with one tooth. These are camshaft sensors. This means MSNS-E can synchronize with the full engine cycle, all 720 crank degrees. Next you program how many teeth each trigger point is after the sync pulse. Then you can use the LED outputs on the megasquirt with 4 VB921s to drive 4 coils. Done.
look here http://megasquirt.sourceforge.net/extra/setup-whee l.html
MSNS-E only, not MSII
That guy you are thinking of, i think this is him...

I can't thank you guys enough! Great info here. I think I'll go down RA40Celica's route, as that was pretty much what I was looking for. If I can't work that out, the Hyperpak thing looks doable, though I'd rather set the ignition timing myself. Cheers Guys!
