Split Fires And Msd 4 Ignition

[subzeroR33]

Hi all.

Looks like my coils have shit themselves and im looking at buying some splitfires.

My current set up is a microtech Ltx-12 and a MSD 4 ignition with a Ford coil pack on a series 2 RB 25DET.

Yes i know its Ford, but they are going.

Do i just order the series 2 split fires or something different with the set up i have.

Oh and what is the expected price to pay, ive been told around $600 mark.

Cheers.

the split fires are direct replacement for the std coils...

soo S2 run the ignitor in the coil pack itself .. is this how your ford ones run? i wouldnt think so with the MSD 4

here are pretty much teh cheapest in Aus you can get the splitfires for that i know

From memory, the Microtech LT12 has the ignitors (6 of them) built in and so on a 6 cylinder it can run full sequential ignition.

The term "MSD4" is bit generic, you will need to be more specific. For example, if it is a MSD DIS-4 HO then the Microtech ignitors are being used to fire in wasted spark mode, so you should have one ignition circuit in the MSD not being used. Check that with your mechanic and/or tuner. Personally I would have run 1 x MSD DIS-4 HO and 1 x MSD DIS-2 HO so that I could run full sequential ignition.

Regardless, if the above is in fact the case, then you need R32GTR/GTST style Splitfires, ones that don’t have built in ignitors. Keep in mind that even with 6 Splitfire coils, you will still have to run wasted spark, as you only have 4 (3 used & 1 not used) ignition circuits in the single MSD DIS-4 HO.

It is a MSD DIS 4. Yes the microtech does have the inbuilt ignitors.

Thats what i was wondering what type to get with or without inbuilt ignitors.

Thanks for ur help mate.
