MSD ignition, yes or no?

[Jon]

Ok a while back I was able to pick up a MSD Digital 6 for dirt cheap thinking that this would be a good performance upgrade to do, BUT I am now seriously rethinking the need for it.

Basically I'm wanting to squeeze a bit more power out of the car and was thinking that the money could be better spent on something that would actually give me some gains.

So my question is, should I go through with installing the Digital 6, external coil, etc.? OR should I just turn around and sell the stuff and put the money towards something else?

I dont see where it could hurt since you already have it but thats my opinion

if u plan on SERIOUSLY building your engine, then keep it. SERIOUS meaning high compression N/A or lots of boost. and even up to a couple hundred horses, i think most ppl will agree that the Honda's OEM ignition system is pretty much up 2 par. i personally think ur worrying about how many years down the line you will actually NEED it, and ur mayb thinking about selling it in the meantime 2 buy something else u think u need. but as far as right now is concerned, whether or not you keep it, u should have been worrying about plugs and wires first...or have u already?

Sell it, stick with your stock system as it will me sufficient for what you seem to be planning. Money can be spent elsewhere for a better bang for the buck, do more research before you buy. Stock ignition system is a good system, nothing cheap about it.

Good plugs and wires already acquired, I stay on top of my maintenance. And I know the stock system is more then adequate up to several hundred horses, so even if I decide to go high compression N/A or turbo I'm confident it could keep up no problem. I just wanted to get everyones take on MSD ignition and whether it's worth the hassle to install it.

I bought the Digital 6 because it was such a steal, if I turn around and sell it for $250 I'd be well ahead of the game. Even at the time I bought it I wasn't sure I would even bother installing it. I'm sure most people know how that is...

Thanks for the help guys, I think I will sell it. This will give me some needed $$$ to play with.

I have a 7AL2 and Blaster coil.... Got the whole setup for 100 dollars so Couldnt say no.

Made 612 WHP on a bone stock Dizzy though... Put the MSD in it to be able to open the gap a little bit. Car made a tad more power and it cleaned up the idle a bit.

[benerman]

um supergenius what did you put the MSD into? hah and yeah i got MSD and i feel more power and takes 97 civics easily. haha

[BLUBB2]

Get rid of it and make some money off of it.
Throw it to somewhere more beneficial.

stock ignition is okay, id just watch out for the ignitor and coil issues. they dont like heat.

A two month old dead thread revived...

All of my MSD stuff has been sold. Ignition is staying stock until it NEEDS upgraded, doubt I will ever get to that point though.

How so? F22s can make just as much power...

Think (and learn) before you speak.
