In most cars, the base ignition timing is set by either the crank angle sensor or the dissy. This is in case the ECU fails and the ignition system reverts to the base timing.
Even using a Delco box, the DFI ignition requires the use of a two channel crank angle sensor. To make one of these for a dissy is not easy, I have though of machining one up for my MB, but I am trying to use electronic means to simulate the crank angle sensor for pulses from a single channel sensor. My goal is to have a small module that bolts onto the cam instead of the fuel pump cam and dissy drive. As I've mentioned previously, its for the technical challenge rather than any performance advantage. There has been suggestion that an electronic dissy from another Suzuki vehicle fits - that would be a much more sensible solution.
I do know the EEC IV can be reprogrammed, but there is very few ppl " down under " who have the gear & know how to do that just yet. The Holden Delco on the other hand, ppl have been playing with Kalmaker for years to reprogram them.
I didn't say mod the dizzy would be easy, but probably easier than trying to bolt a crank angle sensor to the front of the block or onto the bell housing at the rear of the block. Unless there is a suzi or other KEI class motor that uses a crank angle sensor that could be retrofit. Anyway, i would also do it for the tech & engineering challenge.
I did a google search, Kalmaker can be bought for $1100 with gear to reprogram the Holden Delco ecu's. Which is pricy compared to a MegaSquirt, but may have more features able to be programmed into it. It's been a while since i've read over the MS list of features.
