MSD ignition

Pheonixx77 · 11-05-2003, 10:32 PM

well expirence has shown me MSD (multiple spark discharge, or MASSIVE SPARK DISCHARGE as i call it) is a good mod for anyvehicle, more air, more spark better gas =bigger explosion in cylinder, means more HP. i know MSD makes a setup for explorers. it's a msd DIS-2 with a dual tach adapter. however for 300+$ would it be worth it? has anyone done this. i had a MSD dis2 on my 93 ranger (twin plug) dont ask how my buddy is an electrical god to have made t work, he sold the wiring diagram to MSD for 800$ (OMG!) mostly cause they had no idea how to make it work...muwahahahaha...anyways i know MSD puts out 120Mlijoules of spark for 20 degrees of Crank rotation, thats alot of spark. but does anyoe think its a worthwhile mod?

why not?

Because right now you are still basically stock, you dont have enought big mods (engine mods, blower, turbo) to make it worth your while.

Have you noticed a smell of unburned fuel/air mixture from your exhaust?

Your stock spark is probably sparking all that needs to be sparked. Just making a bigger spark won't really accomplish anything.

ok so if later on after i do heads/intake, TB, headders, bigger mass air and bigger injectors it owuld be worth it ?

what # are stock injectors on a 94?

Then you will be getting closer, but dont expect anything drastic out of it.
