Black Halo Racing Ignition

Postby *DarthRX8* » Tue Feb 24, 2009 9:14

I received my BHR ignition in the mail yesterday!!!!!:D

I will be installing it into the 8 this weekend with my boys. I will snap some photos and let everyone know how the install goes, plus give you my impression after my first tank of gas.

Words cannot describe my excitement!

I've given up on trying to get this for a while now. I've PM'd Charles and no response back. I was told back in June that I was added to the waiting. No PM or email back ever. :( I will try in a few weeks again.

Did the install yesterday. Here are my notes:

1. Installing the ignition was easy. Pull the plugs and unscrew four bolts and the stock ignition is off. Place the BHR ignition on the same mount as the stock.

2. Changing the spark plugs SUCKED! I didn't realize they were way down in the engine bay until I pulled the stock plugs off. Once I pulled the front side driver tire off it was a little easier.

Total time from start to finish was a little over an hour.

Initial impression is pretty significant. I have never had problems with idle or rough acceleration before, but what a difference! Words cannot describe the smoothness and increase in acceleration.

I will let you know how my MPGs are affected in the next week or so.

I bet they get better, unless you drive it harder.
