so my mind is almost completely made up that i will run MSIII at some point and am starting my research. unfortunately i know next to nothing about ignition right now, but im learning. ive got a few questions to help me get started in the reading, and a little about what some people around here are running...
OK first things first: fuel
how hard is getting fuel only to run on the MSP? how much work is there outside of wiring? doesnt seem like much from what ive seen but just checking
on to ignition...
i know we have a wasted spark/COP setup, but ive also read some stuff that the 3rd gen proteges are ford EDIS setups but with built in ignitors... so you can follow MS's EDIS instruction set, we already have a 36/1 wheel, and you just add a resistor or two during assembly (5.6k rings a bell offhand). am i on the right track? what else did you do for your setup/just to get ignition working?
and standalone possibilities...
ive considered trying to make this a standalone. that would mean external voltage regulators, and possibly relays for things like A/C, rear defrost, fans, etc. i would have to dig a lot deeper in the wiring of the car to figure out exactly what. does anyone run MS as full standalone?
i realize if you were to take MS full standalone you would lose OBDII functions. what else do you definitely lose, and is losing OBDII worth reconsidering a decision to make it standalone?
ill post if i think of other questions. thanks in advance.
