so tonight i left my gf house after we went out and i wanted to drive around and get a good feel b4 i put in my new ignition set up to see what id do for me. i stop and this neon pulls up next to me, not new body style but b4 that. red car with silver flame graphics down the side with red window tint and some chrome wheels without center caps. well i look at him and it turns green. i get the holeshot but hes a manual and i got an auto. he get about a car ahead and the i hit third (i was driving it like a manual) and bye bye! i looked at him as i went by and his face was like and i kept on going. but yeh, maybe ill see him again after i get my ignition on and then we'll see who takes and keeps the lead!

Sorry to break it to you, but a new ignition system won't make any more power...

[xtr91accord]

itll help my acceleration

LOL...........hey a car wash would lessen your wind resistance a bit.....

[93EXaesthetic]

itll help my acceleration

yeah it might help a bit..........what new ignition are you gonna put in yours?

[clarksterdotcom]

its a harsh cruel world isnt it mike...?

*what happened to that MAX hypothetical HP threa using bolt ons from ebay etc. thread?*

but as far as beating a neon.. your best bet is to get high quality LEDs... way better than any neon you could ever... uh wait.. you meant the car..eh save your money for a good motor build... I/H/E, cam, head package, a6 IM, and some sticky tires...

or you could call upon teh d0n... aka wiKKed

msd blaster ss coil, msd modified dist. cap., msd superconductor wires, ngk v power plugs. u cant say that wont help me any!?

not as much as youd hope for......

[xtr91accord]

im not hoping for a lot, i know its not gunna do a ton, but for 180 bucks itll be worth it. drop a couple tenths of a sec maybe

Respectfully so, deever, I actually disagree with that. Going from a stock igniter and coil to an MSD 6A/SCI and Blaster2 or similar coil can (and has for me, on multiple cars) increase power AND gas mileage. It causes the same amount of fuel to be burned more efficiently.

On the highway, you use less throttle to maintain the same speed because of the extra power gained from burning the a/f mixture more completely. This is where the additional gas mileage comes from. If you simply floor it, then of course there's no gas being saved but you'll accelerate a little faster. All without using any additional fuel.

One example of this taking place is the first car I ever installed the above combination on (a 1992 corolla sedan, 4A-FE engine). Prior to the install, I consistently got 23 MPG. Afterwards, I was getting 29-30 MPG. I verified this multiple times at the pumps with a calculator. I could also clearly tell the difference in power. After installing the MSD stuff, the car felt as fast with the A/C ON, as it did without the MSD stuff and the A/C off. I had to switch back to stock once... I quickly noticed that the car was slower and it was definitely getting worse gas mileage...right back to 23 MPG.

[xtr91accord]

well, that made me feel better. i am not putting a new ignition in it tho, just the coil, wires, cap resistor, and plugs. but itll still be good for some better accel and gas mileage right?

[DUNKiNUTS]

the ignition upgrade, will only help make it more of a clear burn. So there will be more power but not really noticible(spelling).

[xtr91accord]

allright, ur making this sound like its not worth it at all, damn it!

[Dirty Harry]

Don't listen to him. It is worth it. Go ahead and buy the parts you already said you are. The improvement with those will be minimal at best, but it's good groundwork for when you have the money to buy the ignition (which you should really do, when you can). You'll definitely be able to tell the difference.

[xtr91accord]

the parts are on the way, thanks, at least u know first hand!
