my F2T swap :D (56k warning)

He would need megasquirt or standalone ECU to setup and tune the ford coil packs.

If I remember correctly, if you can get a camshaft from the 94+ 12v B2200, then you're old distributor housing may still fit and you could make the swap work with the normal FI distributor in the the B2200s here, or use one from a B2600i which is the same part I believe.

Edit: I'm not very sure or not so DON'T hold that as fact.

i'm currently running FI with the stock B2000 dizzie. why would he need an FI dizzie for that cam?

Edit: I too am understanding that this is all hypothetical.

yah i'm still in the process of building my MS2 at the moment but thats what i plan to run the coil packs and the injection with. yah i don't think i would need a FI specific dizzy to run the MS, but it would make tuning alot better i imagine. the problem with trying to run the front dizzy mount on the 12v head is that there just isn't enough room with that last valve way out in front(pics below) the valve cover comes right behind the timing gear where as on the 8v it sits much futher back alowing for the space for the distributor

heres some pics

one i am going to have to do is cut off the coolant line and get it re welded at an upward angle so i can run my rad hose up and over the exhaust insted of strait into it

dealwithit · #35 (**permalink**) 01-23-2008, 07:30 PM

is what on the head or the intake? the coolant elbow thing i drew the line on? that is on the back of the head

oh and i've been plugging away on my MS2 today and its almost done! i forgot to glue down the crystal and thats why i couldn't get it to download the software. now every test has worked perfectly and i'm glad i bought the jimstim kit insted of just a regular stimulator. wooo hooo i thought the daughter board was screwed all this time

YOU'RE ALIVE!! good to see you posting Jim.

DealWithIt : your edis ring is exactly the same as mine. if you follow what i did and do it accurately you can do it without the alluminium. i heat/shrink fitted mine, so it will never NEVER come loose, even if i want it too :-) a press fit will stay too if its tight enough, but press fitting is awefully hard to do when its an interference fit, heat is a lot easier. ally in the chiller, pulley and ring in the oven etc.

I personally think you should leave some clearance between the pulley and the ring so that the belt doesnt foul it when vibrating and destroy itself.

oh and btw, i presume this is your engine bay? :

if so, you already have one ignitor ;-)

haha yah i guess i do! i was so lost on what an ignitor is, let alone what it looks like! sweet thanks for pointing that out, now i just need to get one. lol

so i got another ignitor today so now i have 2 to work with. hey fred do you know which wires go where with this thing?

fredio54 · #39 (**permalink**) 01-26-2008, 04:59 AM

ummmmmmmmmmm (short term long term memory lapse)

yes (and hes remembered)

its labelled, and you have factory wiring as an example. tell me what the three pins are called and i'll tell you how to hook it up.

fred.

dealwithit · #40 (**permalink**) 01-26-2008, 06:35 PM

ok the first one is lB and its a red w white stripe, G is black, OC is white

fredio54 · #41 (**permalink**) 01-27-2008, 12:09 PM

g = ground
ib = input/base (ecu)
oc = output/collector (coil)

(check it!, but i think thats right)

enjoy

fred.

dealwithit · #42 (**permalink**) 01-27-2008, 03:11 PM

sweet man, thanks! oh and what spec/model/number etc. of transistor did you use on you MS2 board to drive the ignitors?

Racer X · #43 (**permalink**) 01-28-2008, 06:15 PM

Hey dealwithit. Whats a MS2?I know about alot of other standalone systems but never heard of a MS2 till this forum site.Sorry about the dumb question.I had to ask.

EmJay · #44 (**permalink**) 01-29-2008, 01:58 AM

MegaSquirt. MS2 refers to the processor he has, the second generation chip. I have MS1 in my truck, it's good enough for the purposes i'm gonna throw at it, MS2 has more programming flexability (and is in my future)

Thanks.When it comes to standalone systems I hear about halltech, SDS or hondata more than anything out there.
