Great info at their site. We just bought one and you will never see a distributor on our car again.

Hey earl,
Do you have any pics of it installed on a honda? I like the idea of not having a distributer. But I am not sure how it would work in a honda.

hmm well you can just keep the distributor for the crank trigger and just get the dis and the coils or you can get the tech 3 which gets rid of your distributor all together (not sure so dont quote me on that one.) Or just get a custom crank trigger made like myself and go from there but its really all up to you and how deep your wallet goes .goodluck-pdang


heres a picture of kennys car hes running motec with the cdi ignition tony1 and kenny are gonna help me with my crank trigger on my lude as well similar setup just im gonna be running a dis4 ignition . Give tony a call at jotech at 972-278-9744 he can help you out.

you can use a electromotive tec 2 or 3 or a haltech ems and do away with the distributor and run coilpacks
