Msd Coils are quite expensive a MSD ignition setup is not cheap at all LOL

Actually the MSD 6AL-2 is only $252 bucks http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MSD-6421/

And it can use OEM coils no problem. But you have to wire everything, which sucks haha.

[VRx8]

Now you got me thinking about a MSD setup lol. The MSD coils are about 50 bucks a piece your need 2x8207 and a twin tower for the trailing. Now do you need a separate box for the trailing? or the 6AL-2 is able to provide for the trailing and leading? I like the idea of a 2 step, I'll like to do some drag racing and 2 step is a must.

[chickenwafer]

The leading ignition does all the work, trailing is just for clean up. If you wanted to run an ignition amp on the trailer you would actually need 2 extra MSD boxes, so a total of 3. Some people do this but unless you're running pure methanol/alcohol it's not needed. A single box is good enough for over 700rwhp on a 2-rotor, just boosting the leading.

You need a relay (nothing special, just a cheap 5-pin relay from AutoZone or wherever) so when you step on the clutch, it cuts power/ignition to the trailing coils. You DON'T want the 2-step on the trialing coils, or you could detonate. So by using the relay with the clutch switch, it deactivates the trailing coils and the 2-step works on the leading coils.

Here is how it would be wired; ignore the "crane" label on the ignition box. The MSD is wired up the same, wire colors may be different. Also, not pictured in the wiring diagram I made is a switch on the clutch switch wire coming out of the relay. You should put a switch on this so you can deactivate the 2-step for two reasons; first, just to turn it off. Secondly, since you have to push in the clutch to start the car, this would normally kill your trailing ignition, which makes a cold start more difficult. So the switch makes it easier to start.

Just do an ignition cut rev limiter for drag launches hahah. Dont they just dump the clutch at the limiter anyway?
I want this (its a 13b in a 240 btw) WARNING LOUD VIDEO

What is the machine gun type noise being made? Is that coming from the engine?

[VRx8]

^^^ Redline with no exhaust

[JTurton7]

Full ignition cut rev limiter doesnt cut fuel at all so all the unburnt fuel just explodes in the exhaust.

[Shadowden]

seems not so smart an idea to me...but I don't know a whole lot.

[JTurton7]

some say its mildly safer due to... well zero chance of having a random lean condition and getting detonation. Down side is melting your cheap china turbo haha.

[speedjunkie]

If it's a cheap Chinese turbo, it needs to be melted anyway haha.

[chickenwafer]

Eduardo, do you remember the size of the fittings you used to loop the line on the power steering rack?

[VRx8]

You have to modify your own OEM lines.
