msd 6a? better wires/plugs...Shift_BOOST
BOOM! -
just recently installed the MSD SCI along with the blaster 2 coil/nology hotwires/NGK iridiums i've been using. all i can say is i should have done this a looooong time ago; IMO, the car starts up quicker, idle is alot smoother than before, and throttle response has definetely improved.Last edited by PRIMOCB7; 03-22-2006, 10:32 PM.5.6L V8 32V DOHC

What exactly does the SCI and the 6a do? Do they replace the ignitor?
EDIT: At this point, if im getting into upgrading my ignition, would it be wise to upgrade the fuel pump, get some kind of FPR, and get like a chipped P28 or something?Last edited by xScott; 03-22-2006, 10:42 PM.Comment

well the 6a provides multiple spark............aka M.S.D = MULTIPLE SPARK DISCHARGE... which shoots 3 sparks during each firing of the cylinder...but once the car reaches 3000 RPM and higher...the MSD 6a really has no purpose....Originally posted by xScott
the blaster SS coil...replaces ...the stock coil... and what it does is provide a spark @ 45000 volts rather than 30000 volts that the stock one doesComment

Ahh... so right now, once my car gets above 3K, it will occasinally misfire, and has a bitch of a time crossing over to vtak. Im assuming this is spark related, and I would benifit from the SCI moreso than the 6a? What exactly does the SCI do? Is my ignitor shot?Comment

just finished my upgrade (6A, blaster 2 coil, msd dist cap, ngk wires and plugs)...i like it...ditto what PRIMOCB7 posted.Comment

the 6A and SCI does the same thing. no difference, besides the exterior color of the two. and at higher rpms, the MSD ignition boxes help improve overall spark throughout the rpm range.Originally posted by xScott
93EXaesthetic, you've been mis-informed about the MSD having no purpose after 3k rpms. one of the main reasons why people use MSD ignition boxes is for that reason when reaching higher rpms, it helps prevent misfires.5.6L V8 32V DOHC

nah, the SCI was just marketed for imports/sport compacts. if you can get the SCI for a good price, cool.. but the 6A is exactly the same thing and they're usually priced slightly less.5.6L V8 32V DOHC

Sweet! Thanks man, so I should be getting...Originally posted by PRIMOCB7
-SCI (or 6A)
-Blaster 2 Coil
-MSD Distrubitor Cap
and new NGK plugs. I should probably replace the rotor too, does MSD make them? ive got OEM NGK wires, should I be upgrading those too? I bought them new when I swapped. Should this smooth out my powerband?Comment
-
the majority favors the NGK wires and i see nothing wrong with them either; i'd recommend the MSD wires if you want to upgrade. and the plugs.. got some good news, i've got an extra set of NIB NGK Iridiums for the H22 (sale plugOriginally posted by xScott

Now that im looking at stuff, if i have the SCI, I dont need to get a balast resistor w/ my coil, correct?
EDIT: For those of you that are running a JDM H22, what cap and rotor would you want to get?Comment
