    Haven't used it, but asked a couple of Honda mechanics about it previously because I've seen it used on Nissans a bit and the general consensus was that Honda's OEM ignition setups are really quite solid and it wasn't worth upgrading. Money best spent elsewhere apparently.

    If you try it let me know, I'll be interested.

    We seen one and tuned one. Works great, no breakup revving too 9400rpm!. With the distributor commonly to fail as there getting old, coil packs are the way to go if you have a Hondata S300. As seen on the K-series engine, the OEM coilpacks have no problems up too 700hp.

    Mate, Hondas Oem Dizzy System is ****ing crap!!... haha sorry dude. Coils packs are the way to go, thus why the evolution of honda has gone that way

    While yes coil packs are the way to go, the hondata system is shit. Its probably unfair to say that as the ECU isnt really set up for Direct Ignition so theyre working around the issue, but still.... Dont buy the COP setup, buy a proper standalone unit and get proper direct Ignition.

    Id only say buy this if you already have a s300 in the car. $2k for a standalone ECU is well worth it, the flexibility is incomparable.

    if you were staying on pump fuel i wouldnt bother with cop. but maybe e85 with a ton of fuel or race fuel with a ton of fuel might need it.

    my standard system has always worked without a hitch to 25psi on bp ultimate

    I've used the CPR kit and it's good for what it is. Just need to wire it to a positive source that's strong. We had some stupid issues tapping into the +12V source off the ECU causing the unit to drop in/out of sync momentarily. The car makes more power than before where the original system was the limiting factor.

    If you have the S300 already, you can't go wrong.. not worth switching to MSD (messy), or another expensive option which is just overkill.

    Can you run the AEM kit with an S300 or do you need to upgrade to their AEM system?.. I was under the impression you can't use the AEM kit without their ECU.

    You can use K series coils if you really want..
