I have a crx with a B18A1 (only the bottom end is built with 10:1 Comp) running all bolt-ons including full MSD with SCI+ box, all lightweight pulleys,crank pulley, flywheel. My problem is under normal driving the car seems to be fine, but when I get on it ANY, it acts like someone just wrapped their hands around its neck and is choking the @#$& out of it. I just doesn't want to go. I have triple checked timing (although the timing adj. conn. doesn't seem to do anything), triple checked my valve lash, my fuel is at 44psi with vac. on. Any other ideas?

Are you sure it's not a problem with the MSD? You'd be surprised at how good the stock Honda ignition really is.

 

yup i hate msd messes with alot of things like frying ignitors

 

Will stock ignition work well for any forced induction. That is my next step for performance.

 

Yes. The Honda ignition system is awesome, respek it. Always use Honda plugs, wires, cap, rotor, etc, otherwise horrible misfires will ensue.

 

Okay, I will trade it all out to see if that helps any. Thanks for the advice.

 

Any luck with that problem yet? I had an msd kit and i was having the same problem. I found that it was messing up my sparkplugs then I would replace them the car would run fine for awhile. Then the plugs would fry again. I got rid of it and the problem went away.

 

LOL, dude, it's been 7 minutes since he posted, doubt he's got it fixed yet.

 

Hey it does not take long to remove the msd kit all you have to do is unplug it and run just stock.

 

I am at work right now, I'll swap it out tonight cause my stock coil is at home. I'll post my results tomorrow. Thanx for the help.

yes it will, my friend boosted jeff is running stock ignition, and thats all Jeff Evans runs in any of his cars

 

I took off my MSD and went back to stock ignition and coil. Car runs much better now. Thanks for all your responses so quickly. Honda ignition is much better!!!

/\ This car runs a stock LS distributor. It's a B20 with a PR3 head and VTEC Killer Cams. It's seen 9700 rpm on the Dyno, and put down 232 WHP on a large Dyno Jet (very conservative number). The stock ignition is good past 10,000 rpm, and I've personally seen it used for a 620whp FI Civic.
