you don't need anything... but it would be nice to have the MSD.
- llia
Which MSD unit should I get? And would I need the adapter Cap?
Techno
no you don't need the adapter cap... i think the adapter cap is for cars that had an internal ignition coil and they needed to convert to an external one... I could be wrong though.
- llia
yeah mike you are right about that one.
i don't see a point in MSD for carbed cars. expecially if you have stock carb.

well i got EFI and would it be any use of upgrading to a MSD ign ?Originally posted by shepherd79

IMO if you have stock engine and not planning on adding turbo, all you need is better coil.

Got any good tips for what coil i should get ?Originally posted by shepherd79

accel super stock i think its called
MSD Blaster SS <--- But I think it says it works better when used with the MSD 6AL
- llia
I have a 6al and when I get more money I am gtting an ss coil to replace my blaster
whats up guys (and the few girls here)? hey i am thinking about getting an msd ignition and was just wondering which one everyone uses in there car.(car meaning 3g) and what type of difference it made. so if you could hook up a part number on the one that best suits our car that would be great.
also has anyone done head work to there car? and what type of gains did you get from it? thanks in advance.

hey man, I just got the 6al and blaster 2.... I started installing it, and noticed the coils are different... how do we wire it up? or rather, what do we do with the two harnesses?? I mean, they both have blue, and black/yellow wires... what do we do with that?? also, what's the best way to mount the coil? or maybe its just that my car's retarded and the only one in the world that has that kind of coil...squared on the bottom, 2 plugs each with two different posts inside, both looking the exact same except the size, and one has a ground wire...need help with this immediately, please... thanks.... Twan
man i went to go get one of those accel coils and i could SWEAR the parts store wanted like 200 bucks for the thing. Are they normally that cheap? (25 bucks)

ive heard that msd ignitions dont make much of a difference in hondas since teh oem ignitions are so good.

1988starter, I gotta find a way to mount my 6al... I've got the stock intake, so I can't fit it directly behind the manifold.... and everywhere else on the firewall is too crowded to squeeze the 6al in it.... is there anything I can remove to make it fit?
can you move it to the left of mine. Some people mount it inside their cars on the floor under a seat. Or get a cheap 92 civic intake off ebay
I have an Msd 6a which is without the rev limiter and i noticed a good diffrence!! It matters what you have done to your car!!! I have a CAI, header exhaust h22 injectors accel coil and advanced timeing!! Will alot of shit a better ignition you will notice a diffrence!!!
Cold Air intake, Apexi N1 turbomuffler w/2.25 piping, H22 injectors,gutted cat, Dc sport header, accel coil, MSD ignition, Dropzone coilovers
yeah, I've tried to put it on the firewall, to the left of where yours is, and it still wouldn't work, because of that hump where the engine mount is... plus, I don't wanna cover up the VIN.... I'm making a custom dash, so I won't have it in the window anymore...I tried moving the emissions box to the right, so the VIN is between the two mounting holes of the box, and then I could put the MSD where the box was... but that didn't work either... so here's what I'm going to do... since I'm making a dash, and I'm removing any and all A/C, I can mount it on the firewall in the cabin! and i"m sure I can find a hole already drilled into the firewall, to make it easier! thanks for the help tho!
sup crew, i did a few searches and didn't really come up with much, and i checked the how-to and the link doesn't work anymore *attention mods* but anyway i was wondering if any1 has done an ignition system upgrade, what are the benefits of installing one? and which do i use? since i got these 11mm crane wires i'm looking to get the most out of my puchase, if any1 has any experience in this area, a little enlightenment is greatly appreciated as i plan to do an upgrade myself, thx guys
p.s.-btw if any1 DOES have a link on this subject, screw my thread and just post it or im it to me lol thx

"Accord"........we are one........
A hotter, more powerful spark ignites your fuel/air mixture much quicker, reliably and more efficiently; thus increasing horsepower and torque, whereas fuel consumption and emissions are decreased in the process.
