998 pulley is not easy to fit a trigger wheel to, 1275 pulley is favoured as it has the damper that can be machined down

edis 4 from a 90's fiesta/escort
998 pulley is not easy to fit a trigger wheel to, 1275 pulley is favoured as it has the damper that can be machined down
this is the pack
- Megajolt ECU
- New coil pack and connector
- New crank sensor and connector
- Refurbished EDIS Ignition module
- Coil pack bracket
- Loom kit
- Set of 8mm silicone spark plug leads
- Complete with software and mapping cable to allow you to tune the system and maps for a wide range of engines
- Custom A-series crank sensor bracket and spacer kit in place of universal bracket
- Bolt-on trigger wheel for 1275-style A-series engines with unique self-centering billet aluminium spacer system.
this are the options for the tacho
Tacho driver module for coil-driven rev counters
Suitable for Megasquirt, Megajolt and many other ECUs the tacho driver allows you to retain your existing coil driven rev counter. If you have a more modern rev counter accepts the 5 volt output of most ECUs then you do not need one of these.

Please note that some rev counters can be particularly difficult and may require additional tweaks to work correctly.

with that kit it would be best to use a 1275 pully....
the trigger wheel in the kit fits 'into' the 1275 pully...

It's self centering, i.e. it slots in to a dampened pulley. They do sell a different wheel to attach to the non dampened pulley.
I have a trigger wheels kit. Personally I would source the edis and coil from a scrappy, the jolt from the states and the wheel and sensor from trigger wheels. And finally.... The wiring from wilson on here as he tests the before sending on his car. The wiring is the headache...also do spray the edis connections with contact cleaner / wd40 as 'the Matt' mentioned it and mine had obvious copper / ally corrosion ( it's hard to tell the metal type as they are recesse). Wilson may be able to supply the edis and coil pack and thus he could confirm all the electrics?
Also note that the trigger wheels wiring loom is not a loom it is a few meters of coloured wires most of which, with all megajolt wires connected, you won't use...(well I didn't )

Sorry, forgot to say, I don't have a tacho, perhaps a post in the problems forum will get some answers...

It's simple, orders the megajolt from Brent ready made. Go to scrappies and get the ford bits, do the wireing yourself ( it literally a few wires) you would be insane to pay any one to do it for you. Order a trigger wheel and mount it and make bracket or order the wheel and bracket. As for the tacho just use pin 11 from the edis
Take me away to be sectioned now lol, As I am waiting for my loom from Wilson on here, and brackets to, from looking at other prices it will be very good value for money and as said be tested on his car to. I will get Mj from states to already have edis etc.

Note the trigger wheels coil pack bracket has two large circular cut outs that are there to save weight. All they do is restrict the mounting options and also note that you will have to drill your own holes in the bracket
to mount on the bell housing. Note the bell housing holes are 66mm apart. I think the above topic shows a much better mounting position, I couldn't do it myself as my water bottle is in the way.

Seriously? It's a +12v supply a ground and a length of shielded wire for the pip & saw.
+ crank sensor shielded wire (same as pip saw wire) and utilising the existing shielding on the edis unit.
It is easy when you know how and yes the basic setup is only a few wires ........but when you've just bought new electrical parts you don't want to damage anything. It's also also about spare time.......
It is also worth checking if Wilson's cables (if you are interested) have all the megajolt wires wired up and not just +/-/pip/saw...or if he supplies the additional molex pins.

See another thread for wiring issues

And another thread for tacho wiring - I haven't read the thread from top to bottom - I just used google as the forum search is not so good.
