where does that stray black and yellow wire go to??

Why in the name of God did you buy an MSD setup? Are you even aware of how awesome the stock Honda ignition is?

Aparently they dont have multiple spark...

As for the poster... is the main coil wire supose to look like that???</TD></TR></TABLE>

Yea, I was thinking the same thing. That looks F'd up. to a shotty install.

 

well, you effed up your distributor, and your coil wire is horrible. Why on earth did you connect those wires to the ignightor?. The instructions are simple and available on msd's website

 

that looks like a crimp connector holding a tube

They don't have multiple spark capabilities in stock form, but the spark is surprisingly consistent all the way up until about 8000 rpms. Even on low to moderate boost applications there is no need to worry about upgrading until you start closing in on the 300 whp mark. Usually a good set of plugs will solve most of your ignition maladies unless you start dealing with fully built motors. Hell, most fully built motors I've seen are still using a stock ignition with nothing but upgraded plugs.

There was your first mistake.

Maybe that will help you, this msd is very easy to install, just a few wires to hookup. Just make sure you put the rubber boot on that coil plug, don't want the spark jumping around, the kit should've come with the boot for the coil wire. Also, I've noticed that even if you fried your msd box the car should still start, because it will bypass the box and go off the stock ignitor. Had that happen in my crx, engine started with the msd main power and ground disconnected, scared the hell outta me when it fired, was trying to prime the engine

 

Not to sound like an ******* but...
If you didnt HAVE to have the MSD , it was probably a bad decision to get it. If somethings not broken , dont fix it.

 

a stock honda ignition can handle somewhere around 300 hp. the msd does have the multiple spark though.

ok well yea i made a mistake.. and i tried to do the stuff myself.. u kno.. shiet happens sumtimes.. and i got love for the people tryin to help me,.. but atleast gimme some props on tryin new things on my car.. its straight though criticism doesn't bother me too much.. would n e one have the wiring diagram on a b18b1 ignition (inside the distributor box)?

 

you'll get criticize no matter what............................

 

yea.. tru.. i'll buy u guys sum.. shrimp fried rice if u guys can give me the wiring diagram of the ignition module.. and.. all that other shiet under the distributor cap.. the colored insulation came off.. typical for me

 

one more question.. am i sposed to just wire it (msd box) juss to the wires.. or.. to the wires on the prongs on the igniton module?
