freek laret The trigger wheel tells the Nodiz through the crankshaft position sensor exactly where the engine is. It has 36 teeth and one missing which the Nodiz can read. The flywheel can't be used for that.
So can you use the nodiz if you plan to keep the distributor? I'm going a similar route as you with the bike carbs, but I'm wondering if it'll work the same as the MSD does.
The idea behind the NODIZ is to get rid of the distributor in favor of a programmable ignition that yields more power and better responsiveness. It can't work with a distributor because it's designed to operate a ford or similar ignition coil. But honestly a system like the nodiz is far superior to anything that retains a distributor.
May I ask, the information on the DanST website states the dizzy works fine with the carbs so why are you using a standalone controller? Is it for total control?
Scotty Simpson It really depends on the car. An engine that has an air flow meter (afm) can't be carbed until you turn it to map (manifold absolute pressure) sensor based setup. Which means a different factory ecu, connections/harness and possible wiring and troubleshooting pains, and the cost will be equal or higher than the Nodiz. The Nodiz is easy to install, it's reliable and will offer better responsiveness and more hp. If your engine is already map based it's cheaper of course to use the existing setup but an standalone ignition ecu will still outperform the map setup any day and open a lot of new doors.
driving 4 answers Okay cheers. I have a stock mk1a MR2 and I'm not mechanically minded so I'm not exactly sure what I need yet, but the DanST website and your videos are helping me a lot :)
Do you mean the trigger wheel? I'm using techno toy tuning's trigger wheel and their pulley and it works great. There's a video on it here: ruclips.net/video/1_9HgAzvyBM/видео.html. There is a detailed Nodiz install video also coming up.
fila1445 The nodiz ignition ecu has no effect on fueling, just ignition so it can't really help the carbs with elevation change. Fuel injection is superior there since the ecu can alter the fueling and compensate, but electronic fuel injection engines also experience power loss at high altitudes, there's less oxygen, but the mixture doesn't become rich like with the carbs. But it takes some serious altitude for it to be noticeable, I think 2000m and above is where issues start to develop.
I have a Ford Mondeo mk1 18i 16v engine and would like to mount it on a Ford Fiesta mk3 and mount some carburetors, can i use the original engine ignition or do it need to mount an additional control unit ? Thank you
I honestly don't know how you would go about setting that up. Getting it to work would probably end up costing more time and money than an aftermarket ECU. I think the pnp megasquirt might get you that if it's made to play nice with the stock ECU. But in the end an ignition curve with a dizzy is pretty useless since you can't tune it properly. You can just twist the dizzy which isn't even comparable to what you can do with the Nodiz for example.
The Tl Channel For a turbocharged engine you want an ECU with which you will be able to tune your fuel injection. I believe Motorsport electronics has those as well. Check out their site, there is a link in the description for the Nodiz and you can start from there.
@@d4a YT doing it's non notifying shenanigans. But, superior how? They don't come with bigport 4A-GE basemap, getting a car tuned on a dyno costs a fair bit. Specified setups cost closer to 500, add shipping and import tax in non-UK countries and then price-wise you're well into full aftermarket ECU territory.
@@ToreDL87 ToreDL87 Superior in the sense that you can tune it unlike the stock setup and make more power. If you google 4age ignition map you will find dozens of them that you can input into the Nodiz within 5min and have a great starting point for tuning. You would need to tune a basemap too anyway, so basemap or no doesn't make much of a difference. Megasquirt pnp for example costs almost three times as much as this and it will still need tuning too, despite being advertised as "plug and play" there is no one map fits all. And you will still pay shipping and tax too, so I really am having trouble seeing your point. Also, comparing Nodiz to fuel+ignition ECUs makes no sense. Nodiz does ignition only and it does it well and it's great for carb conversions, if you're running efi Nodiz is irrelevant and you need MS, Haltech or something else entirely.
Use code D4A for a 5% discount when purchasing the NODIZ!
I need the full NODIZ set up, where can i access it from?
Had you used the Speeduino, you would have helped more people and it would have been cheaper. Still awesome to see how far this project has come.
I can't wait to see the next video i will have to hunt for a AW11 now since that been my first car
Angel Barron Happy hunting :)
The first video I saw from you was your gas tank removal and you helped me aaaalot
I can't wait until your mr2 is ready :D
Waiting for collecting the parts 😍
hey i plan to carb my 4age (really awesome and helpful video's) and is there a reason you use a trigger wheel and not the flywheel?

Scotty Simpson Feel free to ask anything I'll be glad to help
I would like to see how you mount the trigger on the 4ag I have tried many ways none were reliable.

Dude that ignition module is awesome. Can it support 8 cylinders??
+Ben Hop Yes, the Nodiz can work on 4, 6 and 8 cylinder engines. Check out the link in the description for all the details.
Where did u get this to buy?
did you consider TIB setup with standalone ecu ?
Carbs are amazing but ecu can make your power more consistant when elevation changes

Im gonna try to use this on a nissan :) tps is also 3 wire and the trigger wheel bracket is a piece of cake
Can't i use the OEM dizzy with the trigger in the dizzy? I just want to have a ignition curv

Which coward gave this a thumbs down? I'll fight them!
802 Garage Get the torches and pitchforks! :)
WIZ RICKYP Hahaha you're back? XD
can i use this and get rid of the distributor?
+An Trinh Yes you can of course. Hence the name Nodiz. No dizzy, no distributor
Great video is the ecu good for tuning turbocharged engines?

driving 4 answers thank you!
can i remove my stock 4age ecu and loom and just use this?
You need the stock loom for starter, alternator and a few other bits. But you can amputate everything else from it.
very good video
It's a personal thing, but I'd use nothing but heatshrink crimps. minor point but...
apart from that thumbs up all the way!
What if you dont have a tps ?
Then you can use a 2D setup, or hook it up to a MAP sensor which can be hooked to pretty much anything without a lot of hassle.
I don't get it. You still need the trigger wheel. Why not use the edis module.
Because I don't need it. Everything the edis module does is already incorporated in the Nodiz, without all the additional wiring.
What if i have a 5 cylinder engine ?
Hmmm might be a tricky one. Best to get in touch with Nodiz directly, they will have an answer.
Do you have a facebook page?
Not anymore. I have IG tho
So all that, but no COP`s?
You should have kept the stock dizzy and ECU (and saved moneyz)
ToreDL87 I don't get your point. This is infinitely superior to the stock setup.

Ммм nice good
can i setup Coil on Plug using Nodiz Pro instead using a ford coil pack?
Amirul Hakim As far as I know you can't, but it's best to ask Nodiz and make sure
good stuff man ...
