actually my egt's run at 740c the most before the turbo.

 

This could get really long, so I'll just say "I hope your getting an upgraded ignition with your haltech. The TEC comes with one integrated...."

 

stock honda ignition works perfect, no need for upgrade there at all.

 

my haltech made me very happy.

 

If this were true, you could run larger spark plug gap without misfire. With the plug gap he is running, it isnt true......

 

whats your timing like at 14lbs of boost at around 5000rpm?

 

i can name a couple of b-series making 450+whp with stock ignition( they never miss fire, never), they have no need for an ignition upgrade. I understand your point, there's just not any problems with the stock ignition.

Did they ever think an aftermarket ignition could make more power at the high boost levels they must be running? Just because they never missfire, dosen't mean an aftermarket ignition wouldn't be better. If I spent all the money to get a honda block to handle 450+ whp, I would definitly invest in an ignition upgrade.

Just because they are making that much HP doesnt mean that they couldnt make more with a stronger, longer duration spark. The more complete the spark, the less "unburnt crap" will be left over to burn in the exhuast (right before the turbo)

Lower EGT's, thus more ignition advance via the ol standalone until MBT is reached. Just because they are making that much HP doesnt mean there isnt room for improvement...... The stock Honda ignition wasnt designed to handle that much boost. If it were then our friend here with the LS would be running .40 or .60 or whatever stock gap is and not the little .2x he is now.....

 

my timing is as follows:

800=+3
2400=+3
4000=+3
5600= -1
7200= -1
