What coils to use

Post by Wesdog23 »

What coils are people running to do a waste spark system on a 22re mspnp2.

For that I'd try a Ford EDIS4 coil pack. You can drive it directly or use the EDIS4 module to drive the coils. Another option would be any of the LS2 style coils. Really easy to drive and would use the same I/O as driving the EDIS coil packs.

Could I drive the edis coil pack with the mspnp2 instead of using another module. And was wondering if I could use this https://www.diyautotune.com/product/ign ... coil-pack/

The EDIS coil pack and the IGN-4 both require a QuadSpark or equivalent module.

I did some research last night and found this but the only piece I'm missing to the puzzle is how am I suppose to wire a Hall effect sensor for crank position to the mspnp2 there's no spot for it just an output

The MSPNP for this car is intended to work with a stock VAST ignition. You could, however, wire a Hall effect sensor to the wire that supplied the "NE" signal from the VAST module.

So if I put the reluctor wheel on the crank pulley mount the hall effect close to it wire the hall effect to the 2 wires for the distributor, wire up the quad spark and the coils, put the specs in tuner studio it should work

I modified the 22re dizzy to accept a Mitsubishi CAS and run a 24-1 wheel. I also installed the Dsm igniter and run the Dsm wasted spark coil setup
