Post by: CapriTypeR on August 05, 2009, 02:12:00 PM: Josh-
I just got the MSD 8228 from Summit (just search MSD 8228 on their site.)

It is also the same one Joe (RCICustoms) runs.

Post by: Heavensheros on August 06, 2009, 03:53:00 AM: Will that one from summit plug right into the stock plug or will i need some modification ?

Post by: Rocketman on August 06, 2009, 10:55:00 AM: I think your basic MSD Blaster 2 coil would work too. Basically anything with a two wire input and one spark output will work.

I dont think there is anything that would plug and play, you will probably need to splice it into the harness. Its only two wires so its not too bad.

Post by: Heavensheros on August 06, 2009, 10:59:00 AM: how would i splice it into the harness and what harness ?
Title: ignition Coil
Post by: Rocketman on August 06, 2009, 11:01:00 AM: I would hope the kit comes with connectors of some sort. Just cut off the plug on the stock harness and use the provided connectors, if its a pigtail harness splice it in, if it can use spade connectors then just crimp them onto the wires after you strip a bit of insulation off.

Post by: CapriTypeR on August 06, 2009, 11:47:00 AM: The MSD coil does NOT include connectors. Like Rocket said, just add some spade connectors to the stock harness, and your all set!

Post by: Heavensheros on August 06, 2009, 03:41:00 PM: ok sounds good i will be ordering one tonight :) hopefully it will make a little difference then i will be selling some junk to get the FMIC
Title: ignition Coil
Post by: CapriTypeR on August 06, 2009, 04:02:00 PM: I'm not sure how big of a difference it'll make, but it puts out 35K volts, and that sure can't hurt!

If you really want to make an improvement, upgrade your exhaust. I just picked up my car a couple of hours ago, after removing the cat and getting 2 1/2" pipe all the way way back. Holy Cr_p!!! After 4K RPM, it's a completely different car! It now pulls extremely hard all the way to 7500 RPM!! I'm actually a little scared of how hard the car will pull after the FMIC goes on!!

Post by: Heavensheros on August 06, 2009, 04:05:00 PM: i have a 2.5" turbo back glass pack exhaust now working on the FMIC just need 200 bucks.

Post by: Heavensheros on August 06, 2009, 04:13:00 PM: Yup lol also just order the white gauge faces on ebay for 15 bucks shipped :)
Title: ignition Coil
Post by: Gostlrs on August 07, 2009, 12:21:00 PM: my car pulls like a beast now after i got the exhaust on.

3500 to readline it still pulls, i have to pay attention now to it. most cars you feel the peak and its time to shift..i can only imagine what it will do with more boost..
Title: ignition Coil
Post by: Rocketman on August 08, 2009, 07:26:00 AM: I noticed that the stock turbo killed the engine sometime after 6 grand. After upgrading my turbo it pulled like mad untill I shifted.
Title: ignition Coil
Post by: Heavensheros on August 08, 2009, 09:59:00 AM: well i am ordering intercooler on monday and i will then be saving up for a new turbo whats the best bang for buck turbo upgrade with also minimal costom.
Title: ignition Coil
Post by: Rocketman on August 08, 2009, 04:21:00 PM: 14/11 hybrid or 11/Tbird hybrid

11/14 you can use everything you have now if its built properly

11/tbird you'll need an intake adapter, and different downpipe. Biggest turbo you can run really without doing major mods
Title: ignition Coil
Post by: Heavensheros on August 08, 2009, 04:31:00 PM: how much of a difference between the two and what am i looking price wise ? and where would i get an 14/11 or the bigger one with no downpipe required
Title: ignition Coil
Post by: CapriTypeR on August 08, 2009, 04:38:00 PM: I'm running a 11/14, and it rocks! Seat-O-the-pants dyno says there is a big difference! cost me $150 and a few weeks of grief, but well worth it! If you are on a tight budget, I'd recommend the 11/14 as you don't have to change much to make it run. If you have more $$ available, go with the 11/T-bird.

Post by: Heavensheros on August 08, 2009, 04:40:00 PM: i am on a tight budget and i would love to run the 11/14 turbo.. it only cost you 150$ thats a great price where did you get i cannot seem to find on ebay and what all did you have to change ? i had to scrape change and sell junk to finally get the money to order inter cooler and i guess i still need to buy the reducers and BOV fanged pipe >.< but its a slow working process im getting this intercooler : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DIY-UNIVERSAL-INTERCOOLER-KIT-RED-W-BOV-27x7x2-5_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem2ea7052887QQitemZ200370628743QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ 5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DIY-UNIVERSAL-INTERCOOLER-KIT-RED-W-BOV-27x7x2-5_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem2ea7052887QQitemZ200370628743QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories)

Post by: Rocketman on August 08, 2009, 04:47:00 PM: its not something you buy man. You make it yourself, or you have a place like Turbo City make it for you. You'll need to buy a VJ11 or call them and see if they have the parts down there. I understand its around $450 to send your stock turbo and a VJ11 to be rebuilt and made into the hybrid.

You can make it yourself if you get a good VJ11, you cram the whole CHRA into the turbine housing but you need to change over coolant lines and the wastegate actuator.

You cant get the big turbo without changing the downpipe, unless you do a 14/tbird which the exhaust housing will kill performance on topend.

Stock downpipe sucks anyways lol.
Title: ignition Coil
Post by: Heavensheros on August 08, 2009, 04:58:00 PM: i think when i got my 2.5 exhaust they made the downpipe 2.5 inch also and im a little confused on the turbo deal so ima need to do a little more research on it and probably a few more questions later down the road after the intercooler
Title: ignition Coil
Post by: Rocketman on August 08, 2009, 05:01:00 PM: The VJ11 uses a different downpipe that is not compatable with the stock downpipe. You would need to have a new downpipe made.

Post by: Heavensheros on August 08, 2009, 05:03:00 PM: got it so i have to buy new turbo and then what do i do to the turbine ?
Title: ignition Coil
Post by: Heavensheros on August 08, 2009, 05:04:00 PM: ok i think i understand, im getting a vj11 and putting the vj14 turbine into the 11?

Title: ignition Coil
Post by: CapriTypeR on August 08, 2009, 05:47:00 PM: Yeah, sorry Josh, I wasn't clear. When I bought my 11/14, it was already converted. I didn't have to change anything to make it work. Deals like that rarely come along, and I got lucky. Chances of you finding that are slim, unless you pay attention to the for sale section of 323 Performance forum. hey pop up occasionally. You may also find them on eBay every now and then by searching for 323GTX parts.
