Will this module work on a single cylinder engine?

Hi,

Was interested in using the megajolt to convert an BMW Isetta engine. Was wondering if the system can be made compatible with a 1-cylinder engine.

Interesting question. I guess that if you took an EDIS 4 and only wired up one single ended coil then it should work.

What is in the EDIS 4?

Couldn't the components be replicated to producea smaller board suitable for a single banger- more elegant solution.

The EDIS-4 is Ford's 4 cylinder wasted spark coil driver, and the Megajolt is specifically designed to work with it. It would be difficult to build a cut down version for less money than the cost of an EDIS-4, especially bearing in mind that you can get them from a breakers yard.

The EDIS is a superbly engineered piece of high volume electronics, and it would also be difficult to make anything as reliable and well proven.
