Anyways, dont worry about the scaning thing, I guess I find the coil (high voltage one).

What about Carlislie (is that right??? ) ? Is it going to be a meeting over there????? Tell me about it. If its not too far away, I might show up.

does anybody knows where i can get a clear corner for my 98 protege without spending 100 bucks...that how much j-spec worth......any idea or how can i custom it.

 

hey SDRod

how much it cost for that manifold w. T3 turbo. and how much is engine pushing right now...hp

let me know cause, i will probably do the same thing with my 1.8 engine....i hope i could push up to 210 hp....i am sure about that

but that what i hoping for..

 

Man... To find a easy ignition coil in ours distributors (pro 96) is a hell. "man on a mission...

I am not sure yet if I can put my hands on one yet. If not, I will be seeling my MSD 6A and timing retard soon.

 

can't wait for the rest ,,

hey marcio , how far are you from pensilvania
that is where carlise will be

Thanks for the pic



I need just to find the internal coil inside the distributor cap. Hondas have it right there, but I am afraid ours cars have it internally (surrounded by epoxi or plastic) so that you can not reach its connections (wires). I have the wiring diagram of the distributor. In order to install the MSD you need to connect two wires that goes in the + and - original primary coils respectively.
According to my HANBOOK, the wires are the black and red (-) and the white and red (+) located in the distrubutor eletrical connection (where you see 7 wires). If these wires go straight to my "supposed" primary coil and no elsewhere, I can have it installed perhaps, just connecting the wires in the distributor connection. Otherwise I dont know...

I am in Iowa City, Iowa... Long drive to Pensylvania (13 hours or so)

 

damn

 

Marcio, I'm originally from Logan, just north of Council Bluffs. Surprised to see another Iowan in here, but right on! I know in the Midwest you don't see alot of racers out there, just 'Stangs and Camaros.
Anyway, good luck with ur car!

 

well I am glad to admit that blance of my 4 shocks (2) have arrived, . I will have them all on for carlisle and should have a sharp handling ride

UFAAAAAAAAAA after 4 long hours, I had the MSD 6A and timing retard installed. It took so long because gen 2 1996 have the ignition coil inside the distributor and its conection is very small to run the wires. Anyway, if someone outhere is interested , I can give some help.

Positives: Idle is VERY nice, smooth. Car FEELS stronger (I am not saying any noticeable HP gains). Car starts VERY easily, great for winter (hopefully).

Negative: The computer timing from the MSD is not good for our cars (at least for mine). You step on the gas but it takes longer to respond, therefore I am not using its programed timing. I ran 3 degrees of timing retard when the nitrous is switched on. I thought I would be able to FEEL anything when the timing is retarded, but not. I wasn't able to feel anything when the system switched the timing retard. It might be because 3 degrees is not too much to feel any difference when driving????? I don't know. Someone outhere may know it though.

Anyways, at least is done and I am happy with the set up. Everything that comes to add something is always welcome

 

alright bro , there you go ,, man I hope you took some pics
Bruce

 

Bruce too bad I did not take any pictures because I was running against time. I was afraid it was going to take too long and I ran out of light. But I have everything very clear on my head and can explain step by step to anyone else .

how is your ride going? Looks sweet Bro !
