Wiring a Dicktator Wasted Spark up to a CA18DET For Dummies

Thanks to Poizen for the diagram. :200sx_200sx:

works the same for sr20 only diff is the Cas wiring you just need to swap the wires around iirc but the rest is the same :domo:

Ok refurb of the drawing 😁

Nice redraw but coils and injectors must not go to batt or they will be on all the time

injectors amd coils need to be connected to batt via a relay to ignition

Corrected...hows that?

Looks good im on my phone will look properly when I get on laptop

kwl thanks let me know what changes need to be made :200sx_200sx:

Hey guys do you leave the original managment in the car or take it out?

I took mine out completely

what features do you lose ? SonOfAnarchy ZA thanks for the reply, on the tacho cable on the dicktator where would I connect it up to ? coz surely if I remove my std ecu it will stop the rev counter working?

Temperature compensation
Knock compensation
A/C control (cut-off while accelerating, idle control, etc)
Fault diagnosis for sensors

So, pretty much all the safety features of the stock ECU.

As for the rev counter, I believe you just connect the output from the ECU to a pin on the back of the cluster.

there is a plug there by the ecu that goes to the dash cluster will upload a pic later for you.

thanks bud 8)

thats the plug you use and those 2 wire are the ones you need. one is for the tacho the other is your temp guage can remember which one is for what you will just have to measure which one went to the temp sensor

Just FYI dicktator wasted spark does not work with a stock CA18DET CAS(crank angle sensor) the trigger plate needs to be changed

PLEASE HELP

I have a sr20det with a dictator wasted spark management system, its wired up the same as your diagram but i only have spark on cylinder 1 and 4 when cranking. I have rotated coils and still the same thing, i have got the trigger wheel from dictator, i have tried another igniter and i have tried another ecu but still the same problem

Swap the output from the igniter with 2&3 and see if the spark moves.

What must the trigger plate look like for a sr20det

I did and it moves to 2 and 3

And i have checked continuity with the output wire from the connection to the box and its got continuity
