running high rpm without edis??

[JayG]

I have done a bit of a search and couldn't turn up with much besides the fact that EDIS 4 doesn't like to go above about 8k rpm.

I want to rid my bike of the mechanical advance ignition as its getting old and parts are failing. ideally i would like to install a Megajolt, the problem being is the bike revs to around 11-12k rpm

details: 4cyl bike, twin dyna 3ohm coils with twin outputs running wasted spark.

i have read up on the megasquirt and i am aware that megajolt is not affiliated but it can run 2 coil waste spark without an edis module, i was wondering if it is possible to set the megajolt up with the toothed wheel and vr sensor to do the same. unfortunately i am not hugely electrically minded but can wield a soldering iron with reasonable results that's why i am asking the questions.

Alternatively will something like this work to my desired rev range? and is there any kits or plans out there that i can replicate this without having to pay near $130 AUD to buy it aswell as the EDIS setup being a little hard to come by over here.

hi. partial answers...

*megajolt MUST be used in conjunction with an EDIS module. megasquirt, conversely, can trigger of just about anything, and has its own inbuilt coil drivers for those who dont wish to use EDIS.
*this is probably now irrelevant , and as you have been looking ebay you will probably know it too, but there is plenty of edis hardware on ebay. it has been cheaper to buy from the US in the last couple of years, but with the strong USD, and gasping GBP, it might be cheaper to buy from the UK. postage from there is, however, a killer!
