Out of interest why not use the EDIS. I have just gotten hold of one for my new build with MS and in the process of sorting out the wiring?

EDIS
yeah the compactness of the system is garanteed, but an EDIS is a more precise system then a distributor.
Also if we look over the years the change to transistor ignition EDIS systems has brought the biggest power advantages only because it could garantee
that the spark comes when it needs to come.
look on the bikes from sepparate coils now we have also the all in one units...
in my eyes EDIS is the way to go doing it good should give you more BHP then with one coil.
Tks
The above comments are always meant to be from the above persons perspective.

Calvinx is not talking about using a distruibutor instead of EDIS, but adding and extra 'coil driver' component to the megasquirt unit
which can then drive a coil pack in wasted spark mode without any external components. It's by far the better, tidier, more reliable (and
potentially cheaper) method IMHO.

There is one small point that the anti EDIS brigade are missing.
If you want to use MSII then you are forced (at present) to use EDIS or write your own code, as there is no software available for a second coil
driver. It is only available as "MS Extra" code for MSI Not MSII. As far as I know.
Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want!!!

to be honest at the moment there isn't really much reason to go for MS2 over MS'n'S-Extra though. It's still a bit early in
it's life cycle, there are issues that need ironing out and it is missing some handy features that -Extra has gained over the years (flexibility
with ignition choices being one). The increased accuracy of MS2 is a bonus, but at the end of the day it is only a bonus, I can't see many of us
actually needing it that badly.
Don't get me wrong, MS2 looks to be a great evolution, and has the potential to grow into something quite staggering, but for a new user
I'd have to say MS1 is the safest option right now.
