Ignition Systems
lookin for a new ignition system. I just yanked the MSD 6A out of my Prelude tonight since it fried. all wires were connected well, all grounds still in place... the sucker just up and fried.
but since i'm on forced induction, i need something that can light off a dense charge efficiently... more so that a stock ignition that may or may not have the power to do so. MSD is out of the question... no 6A, 6AL, Digital 7, SCI or whatever. their components are too flaky to risk on my car. No Mallory. sorry, but my friend's 240Z keeps burning his ignition modules up. I keep hearing about Crane HI-6 and Jacobs... my friend uses Jacobs as a backup in his Z, and he hasnt had any problems with it. in fact, he loves it. too bad i keep hearing bad things about their reliability and return policy if it's defective. as for the Crane setups, i have no experience with them and if they're what i'm looking for. basically, i want something bulletproof without having to invest in Electromotive. lemme know what you've used, it's pitfalls or praises. thanks! |

If it could help when I searched for one everybody recommended the Crane Hi6,and I got it.
I can't tell you how it works cause I never got to make it work yet,I need a tach adapter and the shop didn't give me the good one.... . All I can say is that I heard it's one of the best out there.

I've started to hear some really nice things about the Crane Hi-6 stuff. The Hi-6TRC comes stock with a sequential rev-limiter & linear boost timing retard. Looks to be a strong contender at a very reasonable price - around $300. http://www.cranecams.com/ignition/hi6trc.htm
Jacobs is getting a decent reputation in the import market, I really haven't heard anything bad about those products. But they have a pretty miserable reputation in the domestic market. I also very much dislike the way they engage in deceptive marekting practices. I can't recommend their products. Holley's Pro-Strip Annhiliator is fully programmable with all the bells and whistles (boost & RPM & anything else dependent timing map, four RPM switches, four rev limiters, oil pressure kill switch, 16kRPM capability, etc.) It's also microprocessor controlled and is measured to have a much more stable and accurate spark timing. But it runs over $500. http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLin...C/800-300.html IMHO, for a street turbo setup - the Crane looks to be the one. But for a full-on race turbo setup - the Holley has the flexibility. |
