just a quick ? i have read prob 6 threads trying to find my answer but no luck. i have a aem v1. the 1040 box. i have the t1 cam trigger and a obd2 oil pump so i can run a crank sensor if needed. i want to run coil on plug and i just want to no what would be the best route to go. i cant afford the m&w pro14. i do have the m&w pro 10 but i no to do coil on plug i cant use it. any help would be appreciated.

 

GET AN AEM TWIN FIRE .....!IVE SEEN THEM USED FOR AROUND 200 BUCKS IM ALSO LOOKING FOR ONE FOR MY AEM SETUP

 

M&W, I don't know if the newer twinfires are better than the previous ones, but I'm using the pro14. talk to tony, T1.

 

I'm running a twin fire with (4) of their pencil coils and it has been great.

I have tons of dyno, track and street miles on my car with ZERO issues.

A great ignition, and when you factor in the price, I don't see how it can be beat.

That said, I can't really answer you question, but just wanted to let you know that there ignition stuff is solid now.

 

How old is your box? Seems like everyone is always hit or miss with the Twin-Fire's.

 

I got it in 09.

I'm pretty sure there was a known problem with the early generation Twin Fires. I don't think that's a secret. The new ones seem to be solid.

 

You can get the aem twin fire and the pencil coils no problem that's what we run on the grt coupe and no prob the full past season. And allen from DP use it as well iff its works fo us idk why it wouldn't for you iff you want pm and ill gide u thru this proces

 

Still don't know the diffrence from the M&w and the aem. From why I remember the aem has. Mor e volts and mj s ....I have ran AEM twin fire and never had a problem but I do have a newer box.

 

i ran the aem coil on plug setup works good i actually have it sale if interested pm me

 

Yeah the old units from years back were not good and had malfunctions. Although AEM was always good about taking care of their customers but the new units (which i have as well) is great and they dont have the issues the old ones have. Again its AEM, they always take care of their issues for the most part.

Price cant be beat. I got mine for $200 shipped with all the harness and everything. You can get the installation instructions from online on aem's site.

 

MW all the way, tony at T1 to get hooked up. He can also provide you with the Honda factory CBR coils that seem to work well for me.

 

so there is nothing i have to do to the aem ecu to be able to run cop? i have just seen a couple people have the v1 for sale and they said they had some mod done to it to run cop

 

Yea u hve too send the ecu too AEM.they have too add a resistor inside the ecu. I think they charge like 40 to do it

 

If you got the frist v1 1000, 1010 ,1020or 1030 you got to send it to aem. To add some resistors if y ou got the 1040 and up you can opent it and doit your self pm for info

 

^^^ he is correct. on my 1040, I just had to move the jumpers, no modifying. Earlier boxes you had to modify.

 

i modded my 1010 my self just use an external resistor swap a jumper cut a resistor in the box. but for the coils why not just use smart coils and no aftermarket ignition?

 

I have been using the twin fires for over 4 years and none ofg them stand up as well as the M&W boxes if you can swing the cash I would recommend using the M&W.They are also correct you will need to have the jumpers switched I had to do it on my 1030 box also.

 

Can the AEM pencil coils be used with the M&W boxes?

 

yes. i think that is the perfered coil due to the thin insulation of the cbr coil
