SNAKE MINI DIZZY

Description

The world's smallest device designed to completely remove the OEM distributor and convert to Individual Coils.

Despite the age of Honda's "Distributor Era" engines (B, D, F and H series), they are still very popular in the tuning community. A significant drawback of these older engines is the distributor ignition system, which includes a high-voltage section and “temperamental” VR sensors.

Our Device eliminates these shortcomings, enhancing engine performance and reliability.

Advantages

  • Improved ignition timing precision up to 0.1 deg at 14000 RPM.
  • Better spark energy without the inefficiencies of a traditional distributor system.
  • Easy Setup via Bluetooth Connection.
  • Less cluttered engine compartment, making maintenance and modifications easier.
  • Compatible with OEM and Standalone ECUs.

Initial Configuration

Before installation SNAKE MINI DIZZY must be configured to match your engine model.

Set Engine Model

Before installation SNAKE MINI DIZZY must be configured to match your engine model.

Install Device

STEP 1: Remove OEM Distributor

STEP 1: Remove OEM Distributor

  • Disconnect Connector(s) from the distributor
  • Disconnect the plug wires from the cap
  • Remove the distributor mounting bolts
  • Remove distributor from cylinder head.
STEP 2: Remove following parts from the Distributor

STEP 2: Remove following parts from the Distributor

  • Thrust washer
  • Coupling
  • Pin
  • Pin retainer
STEP 3: Install Coupling to Device

STEP 3: Install Coupling to Device

  • Install Coupling to the shaft.
  • Align the index mark of shaft and coupling.
  • Drive in the pin
  • Secure it with the pin retainer
STEP 4: Install Device to cylinder head

STEP 4: Install Device to cylinder head

  • Coat O-Ring with engine oil.
  • Align offset of the lugs on the end of Device and its mating grooves in the Camshaft.
  • Slip Device into position.
  • Install and tighten one mounting bolt.
  • Install Coils and Wiring.
  • Connect Connector(s) to Device.


OEM ECU

OEM ECUs must be modified to Accept Low Voltage Signals. See guides below.

Config Output Mode

To work properly, the output mode must be set to OEM ECU
OEM ECU Output Mode
  • Connect via Bluetooth (see Bluetooth Connection).
  • Go to the Mode tab.
  • Select OEM ECU and click Apply


Standalone ECU

To work with Standalone ECUs, Device Firmware must be updated to version 1.1 or later. (see Firmware Update)

Connector Functions

Standalone Mode provides trigger pattern output only. Use ECU coil outputs.

  • Wthie: +12V Power
  • Red: Cylinder Position Output.
  • Yellow: Crankshaft Position Output.


Set Output Mode

To work properly, the output mode must be set to Standalone
Standalone Output Mode
  • Connect via Bluetooth (see Bluetooth Connection).
  • Go to the Mode tab.
  • Select Standalone and click Apply


Config ECU Inputs

Service Tool

Bluetooth Connection

SNAKE MINI DIZZY has a built-in Bluetooth and a PC Service Tool.
Pairing a new Device

Pairing a New Device
When you connect to the device for the first time, the connection must be configured. Follow these steps:

  • Turn ON the Ignition.
  • Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your PC.
  • Launch Service Tool
  • In the Device field you will see Name NONE and status Searching....
  • Wait 10–20 seconds — the Service Tool will automatically find the device and set up the connection.
  • When pairing is complete, you will see the device Name MD0-XXXXX and status Online.


Reconnect (After First Pairing)

Reconnect (After First Pairing)
After the first successful connection, the Service Tool will automatically reconnect to the paired device.

  • In the Device field you will see Name MD0-XXXXX and status Connecting....
  • After a successful reconnect, the status will change to Online.
If you need to connect to another device, click Search. The Service Tool will remove the currently paired device and start searching for available devices.


Firmware Update

Firmware Update
  • Go to the Firmware tab.
  • Click Check.
  • If an update is available, click Update.
