Ok guys this is my thread on how to install and use the plug in SDS EM4 system for an SVO sold by WesternMotorsports of Canada.
Be forewarned, This will be my first time installing this unit let alone any stand alone system so it will be a steep learning curve for me. I have chosen the SDS system because of it simple approach, most of your big names from back in the day used this with great results, and it has proven itself over the course of time. Those not familar with my SVO its an early 85 with a fresh rebuilt motor, an 86 spec cam, PE computer, brown top injectors, 3" down pipe plus exhaust, and Forced4 cold air intake with bypass running 13-14psi of boost. In this trim she made 205rwhp and 266 ft lbs of torque, Not bad eh?
Now the SDS unit I have was bought used from a very good friend so some of the work has been done, but some minor parts are missing. Also because this unti is at least 2 years old at the time of this I missed out on some good system updates on the newer EM4 box's. The first is it does not support a wideband, and it will not work the MSD A6 digital box.
So as of right now I have bought the following parts to make this work:
- MSD ignition box #6200 A6 (NON DIGITAL)
- MSD Tachometer adapter #MSD8920
- Motocraft Air charge temperature sensor #dy674
-

Now to help tune this system I am 90% sure I will running an Innovate Wideband A/F gauge and dataloging box to log; AFR, RPM, MAP, TPS, and Injector duty cycle via real time on my laptop.
- Innovate LC2 Wideband O2 & DB 52mm Kit (RED Gauge) Display LC-2 Tuner Combo #3796
- Innovate Motorsports Aux Box LMA-3 Datalog WBO2 LMA3 #3742
I will add to this post as the thread progress's so people dont need to reall the pages for one part number.
May the Boost be with you!....
