Hi guys!
I'm working on converting my MG's old 4 cylinder to programmable electronic ignition using Speeduino. EFI may follow at some point in the future, but at this point I'm just looking to replace my distributor.
From the reading I've done so far it seems I need:
Speeduino (with MAP sensor)
Arduino
Hall effect sensor
Trigger wheel
Coil pack
From what I can tell more or less any 36/1 trigger wheel will do, but I'm not sure what/where to get for a hall effect sensor or coil pack. There are a cornucopia of options available at a nightmare of different pricepoints - and while I know what to look for in a dizzy or traditional coil this is all uncharted territory...
I'm also not sure whether there is value in me adding other sensors to the mix - IAT or TPS for instance? A knock sensor maybe??
Any and all info appreciated... If there is something I should have read before posting this (other than the wiki which I've had a good look through) please let me know also.
Thanks in advance!
James
