    Distributorless ignition system?

    I am looking to convert my m20 to a DIS such as MSD. Does anybody know of a good brand and can you also explain how to set this up on an m20, thanx

          you're kinda on your own with this one. Also, what are you doing it for? going DIS just for the sake of it is a little pointless, especially on a stock or nearly stock motor.

          here's mine, not quite finished yet

            I'm in the middle of a 3.1 turbo m20 project. I'm almost done and I'm just looking for a fewer things to finish it up. What is the benefit of EDIS. Smoother acceleration and fuel burning?

                EDIS isn't something you just swap on, you need engine management to control it. If you're doing that, you don't need an EDIS module - you just need some coils, the standalone ECU will read the stock crank wheel and fire the coils directly.

                an MSD DIS box is something that you can run with the stock coil/ECU though, but it won't do wasted spark or coil on plug (to my knowledge). Or at least, not at a price point that makes any sense.
