reconfiguring a LEM V5

We have a V5 ECU that was in an 8 cylinder Ford V8, and are upgrading to the new G4 so are fitting the V5 into another car, a Falcon 6 cylinder. The V8 used a dist with an optical pickup that produced one pulse per cylinder, and the L6 also has one pulse per cylinder as we have fitted an EA dist into the AU motor. I believe (hope) that this means that we will not need a sub board change. The question is, we ran a mitsi igniter on the V8, which was fine, the V5 put a +ve pulse out to trigger the igniter, but the EA dist/module setup needs a negative pulse to trigger the igniter. I think the older ECU's had an Inverse ign wire or something? Question is, does the V5 have this, are you able to change the pulse via PC-LINK, or switches on the board, or does it require to be returned to link for a modification? Matt

All you need do is wire to ignition 2 rather than ignition 1. And you will be all set. Just make sure to set it to 6 cylinders.

Thanks, It's all in and running and was tuned today so job all complete, and even got the wiring finished on the V8 with the G4 and got it to run (sort of) so just need to sort ignition timing and tuning and it should be all go too.
