Well I have this in my dub and am moving to another system, I have to say I have ben pretty happy with it and have no real complaints. To be honest I have been fighting selling this for about the last 4 months sooo here goes
It is a EM-3e.. set up for 4 cylinder, non turbo chip in it but it can be swapped out. I like the fact it is easy to use.. works very well and does not require a computer to use it
System Description
The E system is an integrated fuel injection and ignition system. Engine spark timing is fully programmable for both RPM and/or manifold pressure/throttle position. Programming is done with the standard SDS hand-held programmer.
Triggering is accomplished with magnets attached to the crankshaft pulley and a Hall effect sensor fitted to the timing cover. As such, timing variations relating to belt and chain deflection or gear harmonics are eliminated. 4 and 6 cylinder EM-2E systems are supplied with a conventional single coil and special amplifier for use with the OEM distributor to allow the use of factory type wiring and leads. EM-3E systems for V8 applications require the use of an MSD CD box described near the end of the manual. Four and 6 cylinder systems can also be configured for MSD triggering for use in very high output engines.
Applications
The SDS ignition system will work on the following applications only at this time; 4 stroke engines with distributors and even firing pulses - 2,4,6 and 8 cylinders.
Theory of Operation
One triggering magnet is employed for every two cylinders on a four stroke engine. As each magnet passes the Hall sensor, a pulse is sent to the ECU. The ECU determines the exact rpm and manifold pressure, sums the programmed spark retard values and calculates the appropriate delay for the specific conditions at that instant, then triggers the coil to fire at the precise time.
By setting an initial offset value, the LCD programmer will display the actual ignition timing in degrees BTDC in real time in gauge 2 mode. Programming can then be accomplished in the simplest possible terms to understand

This is a file photo... but you get all you see in the pic.. all in good shape. Asking $800 SHIPPED!!
