: Any B14's running an MSD ignition?
daveracer 05-03-2005, 09:57 AM If so, i want to use the stock coil and an MSD Digital 6+ box, basically for the two step function and the better spark. Anyone use JWT's instructions to hook it up? Looks pretty easy but i just wanted to verify that they were correct. The link to the instructions are here:

Thanks!

Jackson Diamond 05-03-2005, 12:41 PM Yeah, its super easy. I ran a digital 6 but ran into problem with idle and misfire. I switched to a Crane Hi6 and couldent be happier. But hooking up the ignition is easy. Just make sure you have a good ground for the ignition, preferably the battery.
nsracer 05-03-2005, 12:51 PM I ran a digital 6+ 3 years ago on my turbo B14 - awesome ignition!!! The two step combined with the timing retard are awesome for building boost at the line!
You also need to use this page http://jimwolftechnology.com/wolfpdf/MSD%20TO%20SR%20240SX.PDF to eliminate the possiblity of a CEL.
98sr20ve 05-03-2005, 01:06 PM I had a MSD 6AL on my b14. It was a easy install but it seems that Crane may be a better match for the Nissan. Mike K was testing the MSD and it had some funky interaction with select Nissans. Thats all I know really.
nsracer 05-03-2005, 01:11 PM I thought that was specific to the B13, though, Steve? I could be wrong, but I thought Kojima mentioned he had no issues with MSD on the B14 (just on the B13).....?
JDM_2ner 05-03-2005, 03:03 PM no one has problems with MSD on B-13. Only some B-14 have problems with them.
nsracer 05-03-2005, 03:12 PM Not according to Mike: http://www.nissanforums.com/showthread.php?t=9540&highlight=Crane
98sr20ve 05-03-2005, 03:23 PM So use the Crane and avoid the issue all around it seems.
nsracer 05-03-2005, 03:33 PM Sounds like a plan! Then you can sell me your Digital 6+ Dave! lol! :D
kesi24 05-03-2005, 03:36 PM I run digital 6 on my b14 , no problem here.
coach 05-03-2005, 03:36 PM I have witnessed a digital 6 on a B14 with the dist. cap mod and it worked just fine. But since you are from the north east, you can't use it. I said so!

nsracer 05-03-2005, 04:20 PM I agree with Brent - sell it to me for dirt cheap and use something else! :rofl:
daveracer 05-03-2005, 05:52 PM Thanks for the replies. I haven't bought it yet but i figured $300 shipped on ebay was a pretty good deal.

Summit has them for 280 if I can recall. :)

O o o o, i'll check that right now. Thanks for the tip.
daveracer 05-03-2005, 06:05 PM Kesi, do you have a link? I see it for $309 + handling on their site.
kesi24 05-03-2005, 06:10 PM Damn they must of raise the price,sorry.
daveracer 05-03-2005, 06:11 PM Damn they must of raise the price,sorry.
It's all good. I guess ebay it is.
Nismo91ser 05-03-2005, 06:12 PM sorry to highjack but i was wondering if the drivability with the MSD and B13's would be erased if using a msd coil instead of the stock coil???? And Dave the MSD digital 6 is a REAL nice unit.....I have the 6a(got it used) and i like it, but i looks like it might be giving me that black ring around the exhaust and the stumble on light throttle!!!! LOL **** go and disconnect it right now to see
Nismo91ser 05-03-2005, 06:19 PM well scratch that off the list!!! i disconnected the MSD and it was still there..owell back to the drawing board
