dual plug setup

Post by Craigorypeck »

How can I run a dual plugged 4 cylinder engine with megasquirt?
Want to fire both plugs on compression stroke.
On paper a y split before the coil pack to another coil pack could work but it might half the power to each coil giving two half powered sparks? Or I use 2 edis4 units and run them in tandem?
Any ideas on how to get this fireworks display going?
Thanks

Two EDIS4s in tandem should get you there no problem.

So both units can share the vr sensor and then both PIPs & SAWs are wired to the relevant ms pins?
Hmm.. why not! ???

Exactly, although I'd only use one PIP wire.
