Halfcut n the hassle of registering the engine....but good news for us who have year 92-93 manufactured EGs...already past 20years so can qualify for antique car category which can make converting to non standard engine easier hehehehe

sifus....got a question. been having continuous knocking for my b16a and since halfcut dizzys cost a bomb nowadays, i plan to change just the coil. there are 2 options. go for "new original Honda" replacement or get an Accel replacement. the ori honda costs around rm125 as advertised in mudah n the accel costs rm260. which would be the better choice? engine is stock standard n many forums say the stock standard ignition system is sufficient till 800+ hp with 30psi boost even. problem is i have no idea if the ori honda ignition coil sold nowadays are even half as good as my current unit. i used a recond unit once and it lasted me less than half a year before it totally died.

antique car category aint that easy to apply... the car basically has to be very similar to wat came out of the factory from what i heard...


if ur having issues with the coil... then i think u should look into MSD external coils...theyre about 4xx including installation n modding ur ori distributor cap iirc. otherwise, get the ori honda coil first and save up for the MSD.

 

[arturo]

Madman...MSD is kinda overkill for me.

the thing is nowadays its kinda hard to know what is ori honda and what is "ori honda"....anybody can comment on the seller kirie in mudah? ori or "ori"?

 

[mADmAN]

overkill??? i dont think so... replacing the coil with a external unit isnt just about performance....but reliability

the external units will be less likely to fail as opposed to the internal units which are very prone to heat and other factors that causes it to fail.... and at RM4xx i think its a pretty good deal then spending money on something cheaper, but will probably have to be done multiple times that down the road, it ends up being more expensive.

with the MSD, ull get more reliability...and consider any performance gains as a free bonus :D

this is something im looking forward to honestly....but currently my distributor is fine and i have to direct my funds towards new tires.

as an alternative, since honda distributors suck... u could look into distributors from other cars... had a friend use a mazda b8 (iirc) distributor on his B20B drag car....however, itll require a standalone...not sure if hondata can support it.. but he was using it with the haltech e6k (this was about 10-13 years ago)...if u already have this sort of standalone, its a mod to consider.

oh by the way... if u still wanna get the honda coils...and worry about originality... look into getting it urself at LHS jalan ipoh or Exceptional Autoparts in glenmarie... u can google for them...should be a few posts in the forum about their contact and address

MSD blaster SS coil + used good condition msd 6al + msd plug cable + good plug serve me very well now even with 1.4 bar of boost

come have a TT then let me see...lol

 

[mADmAN]

my advise is to go get the sensor fixed and monitor the engine for any other problems for the next couple of months

 

[arturo]

cant reconnect the wire?

peterj : haha now always raining so lazy to go out....did saw u b4 in sejingkat with ur fren....
madman : my rad fan ok only that my meter indicator not function huhu
arturo : can't connect back....the only solution is to replace the sensor but i cant find one huhu

Shah: u can seek help from my mec. for parts u couldn't find yourself. My advice is fix it ASAP too as u'll never know when your engine temperature goes up, u might end up stalled in the middle of the road with a burned engine in case it overheated. I encountered this once on the road with one of the radiator hose cracked and broke but I didn't noticed it until the whole radiator were empty and the temperature rise up promptly. Luckily the ecu detected the sudden spike of the temperature and cut off the engine before the needle reached red. Have to tow back as couldn't find where was the culprit at that time and it was at nite. After that incident, I replaced all the radiator hoses to silicon lol. Better be safe than sorry.

jac : tats y i didn't dare to drive the car at the moment....try to seek in the parts shop dy but can't find one.....
one more thing does all b series using the same type of temperature sensor?maybe later can try seek at the halfcut shop if cannot find the new one
