Zach why do you have a BP igniter?

**Zach** · 4-30-09, 8:22

easier to wire up...three wire vs. four wire.

it's just as good, if not better than the stock igniter,

also it bolts up to the same plate as the stock one, the holes for it are underneath it and unused.

Hmmm. Any of the BP's?

**Zach** · 5-2-09, 1:58

Yes. If you can't find any, I've got a handful I'm not using...lol

**compnut21** · 5-2-09, 4:47

fe3 also used the same ignition. (bad pic stolen from dutch to follow)

i can say from experience using the stock wiring harness to wire the stock ignitor got me a big fail. i think a ground connection needs to be made somewhere taht was originally made at the stock ecu.......anywho the bp one fired right up, so i didnt feel so r-tarded.....

just as fyi, im still blowing out spark on a .020 gap, stock coil, and bp ingiter at full dwell (5.0ms) new disty cap rotor, ngk plugs and ngk wires. it blows out around redline quiet often at 20psi. i still have yet to fix the problem

was thinking of going with a different coil, these mitsu igniters are said to be good up to 35psi on low dewll

advance that timing Ryan!!

im at like 24 degrees on 255kpa on e85. dont think i want to push for more.

i think im either overheating the coil or igniter. theres been a few times where if i rip on it right when it reaches temp, hits full boost, the car runs like its running on 2 or 3 cylinders, and backfires and runs like crap for a minute or two.....wtf?

funny thing is i dont have this problem if i hit boost only a little bit the first few times before taking her to redline

have you tried lowering dwell? I run 4.0ms dwell and don't have these issues.
