I read in the WRX brochure that it has direct ignition, therefore is distributorless. Do ITRs have distributorless ignitions? In doing some research on ignitions, it sounds like the distributorless ignitions are required for variable valve timing:

the new rsx is direct ignition as are miata's and other newer cars

 

Yeah, I wondered if Honda would start using it with new models. Distributor cap & rotor wears out eventually - I just had to replace mine in my CRX. Unless there's any negatives, direct ignition has more consistent spark, less parts, and less to wear out.

 

My GF's hyundai has one too

 

I replaced my cap and rotor today

Now who's gonna give me a cookie?

 

Yes there is...

Ultra MDI --- Direct Ignition system for DC2R

 

Ultra MDI

 

hehehe

 

Anywhere I can find more info about the Ultra MDI??

Thanks in advance!

 

Ultra's website has no useful info about it. Here is the only decent photo I can find of the MDI installed; someone from H-T posted this pic a few months back:



Maybe Ben (AJPwR) can post some pics of his MDI setup
