Msd Coils

[victoriaGTR]

Does any one know if you can use 6 MSD blaster style coils in place of the stock coils by modifying the stock coil wire loom. Then using some knarly plug leads. has anyone tried doing this? or something like this other than wasted spark.

What problems/limitations are you trying to get around exactly?

[victoriaGTR]

i just want to get away form using stock or splitfire coils. and moving the coils into the firewall to reduce heat damage.

It has been done not sure of what you need to do to fit them but there was a 33 in fast fours with them running 450 at the bags

[victoriaGTR]

any knowhow on how to contact these guys

[funkymonkey]

you can use the twin post MSD GM coils, and wire them to run off your PTU.

used them before, much better results (imo) than splitfires.

Spark plug leads = YUK

Haven't had a car with plug leads for over 10 years.

do u run mercury outboard coils on the racecars? do u plug them straight onto the plug as i thought they needed leads to use em?

i run msd blaster cdi coils on my rb26 but im running autronics cdi and they fit under the coilpack cover and no leads as well, seems to work fine though im having spark issues randomly but thats something else i think.

Fastest cars on the planet run them, 4.8sec top fuelers

[T04GTR]

yes lol.

but on the contrary, 99% of jap drag gtr's use the standard coils.... well all the ones ive seen in rev-speed etc etc.

im using mazda s5 13b turbo twin post coils with my autronic 500r cdi. no dramas running 1.1mm gap and 26 psi boost.

yeah i know i just thought the skyline was a little closer to home

[funkymonkey]

think that was Gary's son posting, not Sydneykid

Fat racing leads have no real place in a street car with an audio system. Trying to get an after market coil under the stock cam cover piece, is the best idea me thinks.
