Haltech E11 - What Ignition?

[WHITER33GTS-T]

I have just built a 25/30 as my old 25 died at just under 400rwkw. I have Haltech E11v2 and am using Splitfire coils. I want to upgrade the ignition and was thinking about a MSD dis4 and mercury marine coils. Will this work with the haltech while running wasted spark?

What would be my best option to work with my ecu?

Why are you running wasted spark? You are decreasing the coil recharge time by 50%.

Run 6 ignition circuits with the Splitfires and it will be fine.

I thought that was the only way to run the dis-4?? and use 3 of the 4 outputs?

What do you mean by 6 ignition circuits?

Im still learning all this electrical stuff so thanks for your help

What do you mean by 6 ignition circuits?

use 6 ignition outputs to control 6 seperate coils. i.e: sequential ignition. not wasted spark (3/2 coil).

edit: spelling

so this would be better??

MSD Digital-6 Plus CD Ignitions

Power, accuracy, and efficiency.

MSD has combined race-winning experience with leading-edge technology to offer these incredible Digital-6 Plus ignitions. The 15 MHz micro-controller can analyze up to 15,000,000 critical instructions per second! That's over three times faster than comparable ignitions. Every spark is packed with 135 millijoules of spark energy and 535 V of power. Built-in features on the MSD Digital-6 Plus ignition include two rotary switch adjustable rev limiters, a single-stage timing retard, a start-up timing retard, an LED fault display, EMI protection, and much more! You get complete combustion for greater power, quicker throttle response, smoother idling, and quicker starts. You always get more power with less current draw.

The haltech has 8 configurable timed drives and 4 ignition drives however the 7 and 8 injecctor drive can be configured to run as igntion drives so you will end up with 6 injector drives and 6 ignition drives. Simple. Stay away from MSD ignitions BTW.

Surprisingly a dis-6 isnt a 6 channel cdi, its only one channel. To run 6 channel cdi, use a m&w pro-12, or a dis-4 and dis-2. I wouldnt have thought that the coil recharge time would be an issue when running wasted spark cdi, as there really isnt a recharge time. Also he is running an rb25/30 so there arent going to bo massive revs. PS 1jz's run waste spark from the factory and they dont seem to have ignition dramas. So do 4g63's

Im waiting to hear back about a price of a M&W Pro-16 and mercury marine coils. They sound like my best option.

The pro-16 is quite $$$$'y

But sounds like it is well worth it.

just get a HKS ignitor box, plenty of jap workshops running the factory coil (or replacement) with the HKS box, works a treat but hasnt really caught on here which i find odd considering its great and uses all the factory gear

[unique1]

i have a set of the haltech high power coilpacks for sale brand new in boxes for $480 (cost $650 new), my tuner reccomended them for over 35psi boost and 700rwhp+, the tuner runs these on his 2jz drag car running high 8's down the track and making 700hp so they are the ones to go for.

give me a PM if your keen
