How much of a difference would an upgraded ignition make on a stock engine? What I was told is that it would be a waste of money to add one to a stock engine, and you would need FI or a high compression ratio to see the benefits.

thanks in advance

I was wondering the same thing.

To The Top please...

Yeah you're more or less right. The main benefits you'll get now are clean starts, better MPG and cool red components under your hood.

unless you have FI,Hi compression or N2O the ingition upgrade will yield some MPG improvements, but not much more. Your stock ignition is fine, no need for new one.

He is correct! If you read any honda builders handbook it even tells you in bold letters that unless you are running FI than aftermarket ignition is a waste of time and $$$

but its red

i never knew yellow was faster than red :D

You never knew that yellow was the color of speed?

car insurance in pa charges extra for red cars....red cars are faster :)

i am making 300whp plus with a stock ignition and i have no problems. people would be surprised at many things on a honda that are more then "good enough" for 99% of what we do.
ie: cranks, fuel regulaters, ignition,etc.

he speaks the truth

quick question alittle off the subject. When you guys say "fi" are you talking about turbos?

sometimes F/I is short for Forced Induction any power added thats not normal air comig in the motor so turbos often S/C and n2o are all F/I.

has anyone noticed this thread is almost 3 years old???

go on.........
