Which is the better ignition between Crane Cams and MSD? I will be running a 75 shot of n20.

 

i say MSD, they are the top dogs of the ignition market.

 

i have been running a 6al for 4+ years, and a blaseter ss external coil

 

i've also heard of quite a few people using jacob's, but i dont really know if it's any good or not.

 

ive heard mixed views on jacobs......

and i know someone who was not satisfied with the crane ignition at all

 

Personally, I'd stick with the OEM ignition. Save your money and invest it elsewhere.

 

i kinda feel the same, unless your car is heavily modded, because a complete ignition would cast around what $300?more or less.
that's $300 you could spend on more nitrous goodies.

 

Oh I thought that you really needed one for timing retard, and a more complete combustion, smooth idle etc.

 

I believe DunReit is completely retarded. You have to have an aftermarket ignition to run a 75 shot of n20. You need an ignition that allows you to retard your timing such as the msd digital 6.

 

You can retard the ignition without the aid of a msd.

 

The Accel Thundersport 300 ignition is pretty good. They know their stuff when it comes to sparks.

 

Yah thats true, but maybe he's OBDII? I think, all OBDII cars have locked timing. I konw my 6th gen V6 its locked, also on my boys 5th gen Lude. So in that case you need to get an aftermarket timing controller.

What do you guys think about the Crane Fireball or Hi-6 ignition?

 

Is that so? Well, I've never had a problem with my OEM ignition, and I'm coming up on 3 years of using nitrous (75 shot) on my car. If you gap your spark plugs right, and keep your spark plugs fresh, then you should have no problem at all with the OEM ignition.

 

Uh....no. Im sorry, you are incorrect. You can still adjust the timing on an obd2 car by jumping the service connection and turning the distributor.

 

You cant turn the distibutor on a 96-97 accord, they have locked distributors. The ECU does all the timing adjustments. Dunreit, you are lucky as hell you havent burnt valves or detonated with no retarding of your timing. Plus, it is recommended to retard your timing 3 degrees with a 75 shot. An adjustable distributor only lets you retard your timing 2 degrees.

 

Jesus christ.....

 

Retarding your cam timing also retards your ignition...

 

uh...uh...ok i also have a 75 shot and guess what.....factory ignition.
and yes, i have a 96 accord and guess what, yes you can turn the distributor to adjust timing.

 

Oh, dunno about them 96-97 accords, just know that my V6 is locked and so is my friends 5th gen lude.

WHAT??? Man, now I am really screwed...

 

ha

 

my timing is off. and i tried to tune it. but i couldnt cause it wouldnt let me move anythind and tighten it.. my freind had to cut the lower part of his to move it along the bottom screw..

MSD 6BTM is one of the best to get though.. you can pick one up off ebay for around 225-250 and they run around 400 normally..
