Have any one install msd on their r33? If so what model? What mods did you do?

I have asked their tech peeps and said that I would be able to use msd if I was able to seperate the coilpack from the amplifier. Is the amplifier same as the igniter (the box that sits on to of the coil cover)? Any help or feedback is appreciated thanks

The only way that you can use any of our products, is if you can separate the coil from the amplifier. If you attempt to install any of our equipment without separating the two from each other you will just end up damaging your ignition system. Here is a diagram explaining what I am talking about.

this is sonthing i wanted to post up a while ago. i am also interested in this, for runnign a nitrous system, the DIS is what i was told to use by a friend of mine. Is there a DIS 6 available??. i want to use a big shot nitrous sytem on my car, and after doing some reading about the DIS sytem, it featured a nitrous retard. also is it true what i hear about when sitting at the starting lane of the dragstrip, you can use a ignition retard to spool the turbo earlier and launch at full boost???. i heard al of this and want to be sure of it. and also after doing some more reading, thats why i am asking if the DIS 6 exists, i read that the DIS 4 is built to cope with 6cyl engines utilizing a 3 coil setup (hence they are running waste spark) or 8 cyl engines running a 4 coil setup. i dont see how a skyline would fit into this equation. please all you sky guru's :) out there shed some light

Yeah!! You can run both dis4 and dis2 if ur not running the waste spark system.But need to seperate the coil from the amp. NOw how can you seperate the amp from the coil pack? Is the amp from the diagram same as the ignitor found on top of the coilpack cover?

Msd tech just told me this """""You are not eliminating the amplifier to use the DIS-4.You are taking the signal from the amplifier and stepping it up to the coil with the MSD equipment. You still have to retain the use of the amplifier to trigger the MSD box. The reason you can not install the MSD unit before the amplifier is because the amplifier is equipped with a ower transistor that will not be able to handle the high output voltage of the MSD equipment. """

Hope this help!!

so what you guys are saying is that i would need a DIS 4 and a DIS 2 ignition system?? and separate my amplifier from my coilpack loom and splice the MSD in between them. that would bring with it that both units need to be configured on the same settings. and how would this ignition thing work with a PFC (what i am running in my car). and is it possible to configure a PFC for big nitorus use (ie creating a separate map for nitrous usage), if this is so, i could eliminate the use of a separate ignition system. is want to shot about a 150HP shot of nitrous into my engine. (will be deliverd by a Nitrous Xpress direct port system. i would be using it for my actual run, but i see it as a bit of insurance, you know when you begin to dee the other guy in you rear view at the strip, you always can count on that little button. that why i would need some sort of a high speed retard for the big shot of nitrous.

Although i have never seen one, Im of the opinion that dis6's do exist, however you can use a dis4 and set it up with waste spark using the original coils, dont know haw long thay would last, although in theory CDI places less load on the coils. You need to intercept the signal between the ignitor at the back of the head and either intercept the signal for all six (dis6) or pair the coils if using a dis4, 1&6, 2&5, 3&4. PFC will run it fine although it wont have separate maps for nos. HKS sell a twin spark CDI unit for about $800 which plugs straight in(with the appropriate patch loom)

    • I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.
    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
    • Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
    • Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!
    • I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
