I need to get me a new ignition system to finish off my setup. I have used previously msd coils wasted spark with dis2 amplifier box on this engine setup with pump fuel and mild boost.
Now with availability of E85 I want to get a setup that will work good first time on more extreme applications like high boost and e85.
What are you guys running/suggesting cop ,coil pack, cdi drivers....
Application is vw 16v turbo.
thanks
A distributor and MSD 7 would be better.
It's tough to find something better than what you already have (CDI).
Is his DIS2 actually CDI?
The DIS boxes are all capacitive discharge, AFAIK.
I don't think the thread creator has tested the limits of his current ignition system, I suggest he does just that before trying to cure a problem that does not exist. A lot of things could be wrong in the tune of an engine to cause mis-fires, not to mention ignition plugs, leads, coils and ignition boxes. From what I can tell this setup is very potent and should hold enough spark for 200 hp/cylinder if necessary.
The problem is that his LS1 style coils are dead. And he´s needing go shopping again.
Since his DIS is CDI I´d agree with Mattias and stick with that.
I see. Then stick with the DIS-2 and get a pair of wasted spark coils compatible with CDI, preferrably recommended to work with your unit. The "Mitsubishi/Dodge" coilpacks from MSD come to mind.
If you need good and reliable spark with lot's of energy these are the way to go with:
