Well as some of you may have seen my other post.. i got a fully built engine for the Twin Charged set up... im looking to run about 15psi... And i have always been leaning towards getting a MSD set up... but never have...
For thoughs who have it.. how much of a difference did it make?
Also which one would i be needing? i have been tuning with HP tuners so i dont need one that adjusts timing... i just havent been able to find out clearly what the difference between all the modles are and such..
Any one with info on this let me know...
And I remember seeing some one who actually had raplced the entire IDI cover and just ran wires to the spark plugs (well kept the cover just drilled 4 holes for the wires..is this how it is set up ? or was it just a custom one?
The First Twin Charged jbody
blue car (R.I.P) - 240whp @7psi..
silver car - 305whp 315lbs.tq @15psi (91 Octane) or 420whp & 425lbs.TQ @20psi (94 octane+Alcohol Injection)
All dynos run on a Mustang dyno
I'm running the Team Green 2.2 coil conversion + MSD DIS II non programmable...
Utilizes MSD coils, coil adapters, oem GM ACDELCO spark plug wires and an MSD-DIS2... in all honesty just the coils ALONE made a huge difference over stock, the MSD just helps with more power as well as multiple spark discharge to ensure a complete burn.
Keep in mind stock coils are limited to I think 20,000 volts whereas the MSD ones can go to 40,000, which is around where the DIS2 maxes out. DIS2 with stock coils is a definite improvement but if you want maximum sparking capabilities go with the MSD coil setup too.
Lastly, what plugs do you plan to run? I've used both the GMSC 1 step colder as well as a 2-step colder GM DELCO plug... good results on both. (Gapped at around .035)
Good luck.

I have looked every where but i cant seem to find a set up that would work for the 2.4L? do you have any pictures of your set up?
not 100% sure what plugs i have in... when i got my car tuned he changed them so i couldnt tell you for sure...

i have the team green setup and step 1/2 colder plugs and it runs awesome
I ran a DIS-2 plus on my 2.4 years ago, worked great and I never had any ignition issues. There was a write up on this site for it but that was almost 6 years ago now and I don't remember now. I do remember it wasen't hard and wired in under 30 min, everything wires into the ignition module under the cover.

ask whitecav (david) he is running an MSD ignition on his 2.4 currently. he will let you know everything about his setup
