I've converted to individual coils (Ultra MDI) today...



... and the distributor is now except the sensors useless. I would like to have a flat (carbon) cap without the terminals. Who could make one?

 

I'd like to see this when its done....

 

Me too. I gotta compliment you on the engine bay. It looks awesome! I love the plain aluminum valve cover. Is it a Moroso?
Kyle

 

well it says moroso on it if you look in the first pic

 

i could not get anybody to make me one out of aluminum so i had to make one myself. And i have about 80 thousand hours in it so i will not make another one. If you find somebody to make one out of carbon or what ever, pm me i am interested in buying one.

 

why not just use a cam cap? I think that would probably be your best bet

"....except the sensors..."

 

yeah I didnt think about that..... hahahaha

 

Pick up one of the cam angle sensors from tony1 and use that on the cam gear if you are running a full stand alone.

The Power FC requires the stock cam and crankshaft sensor and the Ultra MDI plugs between the engine harness and distributor.

 

 

I know its some what off-topic, But can you use MSD dis-4 with the MSD blaster coils or like OEM RSX/d17 coil packs using the internals from a stock dizzy with an OEM honda ecu?

 

As far as I have researched the 2000 and earlier honda ecu's only have one coil driver so I dont think its possible but I dont know about the newer ecus.

 

I understand that, but the 1 coil driver would send that signal to the MSD DIS-4 box which intern would send out the 4 signals to the other 4 coils.

 

i guess you could do that with a wasted spark setup

 

I was going to run a DSM cam angle sensor on my motor in place of the disty.

 

If I knew it was worth my time, I could certainly make some carbon fiber caps. I didn't know that many people were running individual coil setups which is why I decided not to make them originally.

I guess you could sell at least 10 for about $50. You could get stock caps and cut off the terminals and then put on 1 layer of carbon.

 

Yeah, that would be one option, but overlay tends to be more labor intensive than simply molding.

I will put together a mockup and if anyone is still interested then I will make a few.

 

overlaying takes no time at all...I've done alot of overlaying for parts and i have also reverse molded my entire interior and made it out of cf. I would think the overlaying it would be the way to go...I can do a few if anyone wants them done...just pm me. My name is 69vette over at ls1tech.com. I'm not really all about hondas but i enjoy reading this forum and would be willing to help anyone out that needs it. Just let me know

looking good

 

Whats the advantage of the individual coil setup?

 

Sorry I haven't been back yet people. I got this b*tch and her dad riding my *** to finish her Civic. I'm doing my best, but this is a CVT car and I am getting into some small mounting issues which have caused delay.

I'll be here when I get 1 or two of these done.

Carbjunkie...there are quite a few advantages to individual coils. Increased spark output to eliminate misfire in high cylinder pressures is one reason. Also, for high revving engines, a rotor can lead to sparks jumping the gap and causing pre-ignition and things like that. The coils eliminate that problem.

 

what cap are the stock ones that you are starting with? just ant b series?
