[QUOTE="shiroitenshi, post: 2576009, member: 27518"] No.. that one still use rotors. The MSD cap is said to have bigger gap for each contact point to prevent 'arc'ing when running big voltage for sparks. Something to do with voltage requirements to jump the plug gap (this theory, I have absolutely no idea yet) The one I was referring to is this Part Number PN8488 (lucky, die, lucky lucky? haha.. the chinese should know this) This one rotorless, and contactless.. the only moving part that sees friction is the bearing. It uses 'hall-effect' (what a cool 'marketing' name of magnetic -triggered) sensor to replace the contacts on the distributor cap and rotor. Been having an eye on it for a while, but price is a bit of a killer... because you need a few other parts along with it, like the ignition driver, cables and external coil. But damn, does it look sexy... :P (at least to me.) God knows how well it takes abuse, since I don't know anyone using it, I did know that when I seriously wanted to buy it, the only one in KSP got sold, and I ended up buying the innovate set instead, plus some of the accessories. Heh.. well I had 3K plus to burn at that time, so I had to burn it one way or another, since the distributor was not around, I got a wideband kit with most of the accessories instead. About common causes of failure, not to sure about that, but the distributor does have a finite lifespan due to the bearing, at the very least. let's see.. most cars see 6000rpm at wheel, distributor sees abt. 3K rpm. Our cars.. well.. some run up to 9.5K rpm.. so half of that is 4.75K rpm? Coil is depending on power output, so maybe if it has do drive dirty plugs/output more voltage/ignite rich fuelling, it dies faster? Or maybe gapping thing? This part, I really don't know. Back to topic. J101, 2 AEM breathers? Then why bother with the long pipe down to the bumper in the first place? And the price for them is kind of stupid, considering they're just.. well.. filter element on a metal band. Heh.. that one is an afterthought AEM made, I think. it doesn't seem to be a one way valve thing. [/QUOTE]
