Hey to all,
well just finishing up all my parts for my turbo install, and i'm looking at getting an ignition setup for it. I'm lookn at the HKS system but just wanted your opinon about it or is there any other good one out there. I also have e-mange, should i just use the ignition system that it has w/it? any input would help, thanks

 

What are you trying to accomplish? If you are just wanting to control timing, e-manage will be fine.

 

Something that gives me maximum voltage output and help with the spark of the spark plugs, something like the HKS Twin Power DLI.

 

Call me crazy, but what is the difference between SAFCII and E-manage. It says that E-manage has only 5 adjustment points in the duty cycle, where my SAFCII has 10. What gives, where does the difference lie.

Royal T, HKS unit is nice. You could also look at one of the volt-booster-on-full-throttle units, those can be had for 50-200$ and someone stated on here, when voltage is doubled spark is 4x

Choray, you're crazy look at the support cable. Without a screen to control emanage, it is nothing special. But when you open the support software, you have 16x16 maps (256 adjustable points) referenced off whatever you like say RPM vs BOOST. Also, you can setup a 16x16 map to control timing +/-, and you can run multiple fuel adjustment maps at the same time. It is rather powerful for a piggyback, but lacks a few major things vs standalone such as o2 correction, rev limit control, 2step and antilag (although you can almost set it up to do this just with the fuel and ignition tables..)

 

I was planning on trying this pretty soon I think:

I think I might try that too. that price is great . But how does it compare to HKS ignition system.

 

Neal, it's a great unit! We put one on a turbo LS1 here (uses coil packs as well) and had great success. Also, if you up fuel pump voltage you get more out of the walbro as well.

 

guys use the msd sci for a distributor car or the dis if you have coil packs then adjust your gap for the boost you run.

 

All different gaps have been tried and it doesn't seem to solve the problem.

 

what problem? misfiring?

 

If the boost increases too much between about 3500 and 5000rpm, the car will misfire somewhat and there will be very brief lapses in power. I currently solve the problem by just slowly ramping the boost up between 3000 and 5000rpm. So instead of letting it make full boost at a lower rpm I just dont enable it to make full boost until higher rpm.

 

So would the Boost a Spark solve this problem?

 

I'm thinking, and hoping, it will.

 

don't hope know or you will waste your money. What plugs do you have? and what gap are you running? Also think most pro racers use msd, just think go to dsm web sites you see these guys running big boost how???? with dis and tuning.

 

I'm going to try NGK Iridiums at Matt's suggestion first, and then if that doesn't work then look into the boost-a-spark. Currently I have 2 step colder NGK copper BKR7E11 gapped at .025, the car has had everything from .020 to high .03x gaps and it didn't solve the problem.
