1. you don't have an ek9
2. you have no need for msd ignition

messeduprex

well not to push tmy opinion on you. its your decision not mine

1. it can affect radio reception
2. while you dont really need it stock honda ignitors are known to go eaisly
i have the msd sci ignition and personally i like it i've noticed slightly better gas mialage which in theses times are a big plus. and also alot of times its easier to start in the cold weather

I would highly doubt that

ganjafarmer143

that where i go to buy my parts....this stuff is expensive here in trinidad...

ganjafarmer143

ok so i guess my source was partly right and partly wrong...any other problems or downfalls to using this ignition?

messeduprex

get the msd cap with the power tower allready on it. because the power towers are a pain to get on right on a stock or aftermarket cap. i ruined two new aftermarket caps untill i finally got one that dosent have a thin wire in the cap

ganjafarmer143

ok cool....i'll look into that...but did u have any problems as stated above?

messeduprex

no i havent but its all how it's installed if hack job is done then its a possibility but i solderd and heat shrink tubed every thing abd made sur the wires were not near anything rfi sensitive (Raido Frequency Noise)

ganjafarmer143

ok cool.....does anyone else has any opinions?

i dont have any interference problems with mine. ive got the 12v and ground wires directly on the batteries terminals. as stated above i also noticed a gain in mpg, and it seemed a little more responsive. if you use a blaster ss coil, make sure you keep a spare as they tend to go out about every 1-1.5 years. also get a good rotor as the higher spark energy tends to burn up cheaper ones quicker. the msd rotor, and the duralast rotors(autozone) are good, as they have a thicker conductor. hope this helps.

hell yeah that helps...oh another question...i plan on getting the hondata s300 when i have the money as i have a built motor on stock mgmt...would it make a difference if i get the msd and then the hondata or does the hondata do what the msd would do?...i dont know if the hondata would make the msd useless...thanks again for all your help

is the msd ignition a good product?

MSD ignition products are on almost every kind of race car and are on a lot of street cars. Having such a huge array of products alone should answer your question. People have to suggest and buy the products for them to make so many kinds. I personally wouldn't run any other kind of ignition system except for MSD(IMO they're better than Crane, Mallory, etc...). The only thing that you can find better are wires IMO.
