Use whatever Tony1 and Joe Simpson recommend.

Contact either of them and buy from them. Support the guy's who support the sport.

M&W pro10. on top of being a very powerful ignition box.......its worth its weight in gold because you can bypass the factory ignitor inside the distributor. anybody who has been around honda's for any period of time knows how often those things cause headaches.

Yeah, they are the only ones who know how to make a car go fast around here, lol.

I forgot where is your car right now? hmmmm

You cant go wrong with msd stuff setup right and you cant go wrong with the m&w stuff. I have ran both and had success with both manufacturers.

LOL

we run autronic but our opinion doesn't matter cause our name isn't Palo or Simpson

...but we have been running an ignition setup like this for 3+ years now with CBR coils, long before many people here even knew what it was, so maybe we do have some insight into what works...hrmmm

bang for the buck with a stock distributor still the Pro-10 is where it is at right now i believe.

If you dont have an engine management with slew rate trac or gear retard vs rpm built-in, the 75314 with the HVC II coil is great.

well I have cbr coils on mine now, and an msd ign box. I am having issues with my ignition box it will idle fine then bog down as if it shuts down to 2 cylinders then it rebounds, and it does this under a load as well.

I am thinking the M&W PRO14 at the moment, but wanted to see what has worked for others before making my decision.

Exactly, alot of people out there dont understand what a system like this is capable of or have the knowledge to use it. The 75314 box is rediculous in what it is capable of. I ran the msd8 box in series with a 7531 box this past season and loved it. The control you gain with a setup like this is insane. The 75314 box is strong enough for 99.99%of the people out there. I recommend the 75314 box to most of my customers.

It all comes down to the tuner, consult your tuner and ask them what they recommend for getting the car down the track. Tuning a car to make power is only half the battle, having a tuner in your corner that knows how to get the car down the track is priceless to some. If your tuner tells you that you dont need anything like that then find yourself a new tuner. Boost control itself isnt gonna cut in my opinion.

We use the 75314 in both cars and love them. You're right Miller, the options are crazy. The great thing about it, is everone is familiar with it, S.C. or not.

Quick discription of the MSD box Digital 7:

Don't let your ignition keep your boost down!
These 4-Cylinder Programmable Digital-7 Plus ignitions from MSD have an output power and Individual Cylinder Management timing system that are hard to beat. They have an upgraded energy output of 250 mJ per spark, and a voltage output of 530 V. These upgrades enable them to ignite nearly any fuel, under the extreme boost pressure of today's 4-cylinder race engines. At the heart of these ignitions is a 15 MHz micro-controller that analyzes and manages every trigger signal. Their capacitive discharge circuits and state-of-the-art IGBT coil drivers work together to deliver a potent spark that can easily handle high cylinder pressures. Below 3,300 rpm, a series of sparks burn in the cylinder over 20 degrees of crankshaft rotation, producing a smooth idle with great throttle response. You can control all of this spark energy through an array of timing and rpm programs. These programs include: Individual cylinder timing that can program up to 10 degrees per cylinder in .1 degree increments, a launch retard that lets you retard the timing up to 15 degrees for 0-2.5 seconds after the launch, a launch timing curve, and a run curve enabling you to plot a timing curve in .1 degree increments per 100 rpm. They also feature a 3-step retard, a gear retard that can retard timing up to 5 degrees with every gear change, a start retard, three rev limiters, a shift light, and an rpm-activated window switch. You can also map a complete timing curve for every gear, set stage retards to ramp timing, see updated X-Y plots with interpolation for smooth changes, view all ignition events in a new Launch History window, acquire 20 seconds of run data including two seconds prior to launch, program an rpm that is ramped-in during the launch, and select vacuum advance and boost retard through a MAP sensor. They are designed to be used on 4-cylinder engines, and are supplied with the Pro-Data Plus software, a PC harness, vibrations mounts, and wiring. An optional hand-held MSD Programmer Monitor is available separately.

Requires the use of an MSD crank trigger, a cam sync signal, and the Pro Power HVC II coil. Requires a distributor and a crank trigger with two magnets removed. Designed for racing use.

Like i told you yesterday it can work. But I persoanlly will have no part in setting it up with an ectune car. I do not support their system and will not make any effort to do so. If you want me to tune the car I told you to put an s300 in it and a 75314 box. Since you can not do that do to sponsorship obligations then that is a situation you have gotten yourself into. In order to do what needs to be done and have constant access an s300 is the way to go.

So to answer your question, yes the ectune can be used in conjunction with the 75314 box.
