Syonyk Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I searched, and didn't find anything conclusive. I'm considering putting in a Blaster coil & MSD6A unit. I'm looking mostly for improved fuel economy, but more power wouldn't hurt either. If it turns out it doesn't make much of a difference, I'll just keep the MSD6A around for my RX-7 project car. Am I likely to notice anything from this? -=Russ=- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvdrt Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I am using a blaster coil now with the stock spark control. It doesn't really do anything until the higher rpms, IMO, and it has not left me stranded like the accel coil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subyrally Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 when using a blaster 2 what are the plugs gaped at ,.45-.50 ?? like the accell didnt gap the plugs, just took em outta my other engine cause they were new and bolted em in on the new one. i made sure they werent smashed or broken, i also checked to see if the were uniform, but i didnt have the gap specs or a gapping tool with me when i put em in.

Phaedras Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I use the Blaster II High Vibration coil (because of the horizontal position) and it has served me well. But I as well am extremely interested if anyone has ever used their electronic ignition systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobscript Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 So when did you say you were getting on the dyno? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syonyk Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 Actually, I might be arranging a dyno day in Des Moines within the next month. If I can get multiple pulls in, I'll get data with the stock ignition system vs the Blaster/MSD6A setup. Assuming I take my Subaru... I might have my project RX-7 running by then. Also, I'm debating taking some synthetic gearbox/differential lube, and changing it out between pulls - see if there's any noticeable difference in power to the wheels. -=Russ=- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I've got a Blaster II, but I have to admit, I put it in before the car was drivable so I can't tell you if there is a difference. I should probably put the old one in for a baseline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoostedBalls Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I used a blaster 2 coil in my 14.2 @93mph GL-10 last year. I did a lot of mods at the same time so I don't know how much of a difference the coil made. -Chuck- Oregon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
