Thread: MSD?

Who's used them on our cars? Any pro's or con's I need to know about before I get one?
This is the one I'm looking at getting.
Digital 6-Plus Ignition Control - 6520

what is your primary use for it? mostly nitrous stuff?

Yeah stronger than stock with easy timing adjustments. At least that's what I have in mind lol.

stock b13 ignition isnt that bad from what i hear an you can run different coils an such..

if you dont already have nismotronic, it'd be money better spent imo.

I'm using a msd coil and have a calum realtime. Just liked the idea of turning a little screw to retard timing. Hell the fact that the ignition can run full timing, and has a retard feature for when I arm the nitrous is nice. I just keep the timing down.

I'm looking into this stuff because I've had issues with the timing changing on it's own somehow the last couple of years. Doesn't make sense, I know.

whats cool about nismotronic is theres a built in nitros feature as well as the ability to run 2 different fuel/timing maps with the flick of a switch. maybe @JKTUNING could chime in.

I used most of these over the years not to much problems just make sure all your wiring is clean during installation and good quality connectors is used. Pays to spend a little extra there you will have less problems down the road. If your using one of these in a B14 you will need tach adapter 8910-eis it works the best for getting rid of the check engine light. I'm not using a tach adapter in my b13 I get a ignition system code but no light is displayed on the dash so it does not bother me.

That is correct. There is a built in Nitrous feature with the SA package that allows full control over nitrous activation, fueling and ignition.

This link has the details.

The nismotronic looks interesting. I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

i would go with nismotronic to be honest many new features
