    Yeah so true ay!
    If you look at people's opinions on these you will only hear 'it's a waste of money' but like I said earlier,have they had it on thier car.No.I know like everyone has heard the stock ignition system is good for up tp 400hp.This dosen't make the MSD system a waste of money.I speaking from experince and I've heard from other's that have got it.What it does is make your car real smooth and nice and sensitive accelerator,smooth idle etc etc SMOOOTH is the word here .It's not hard to hook up yourself either.I reckon the more powerful the car the benefit you will see from it because it gives you much better combustion.

    ^^agreed, too many people on this forum are "honda this, race builder that"..goes along the lines of my sig... aftermarket ignitions are a pretty good investment.. as i've mentioned in another thread, i've gained 4wkw from just upgrading the coil and widening the plug gap on an sr20 on the same dyno... i have just a coil upgrade now on my b16 and the response is noticable...

    destrukshn: try a coil upgrade first before getting the full multispark system... coil upgrades already provide a massive boost in spark current BUT aren't recommended for prolonged high-rpm use (which you most likely wont do in your boosted car) coz it can't charge quick enough to full power before discharging and lowers the lifespan of it....

    and if you decide you do require it you can get the cdi which can use your upgraded coil.

    Exactly.Your sig is xactly what I'm saying.I was member on d-series.org for a couple of years and they are like that,all patting each others backs and ganging up on someone who's opinions differ from thier's.This attitude makes people afraid to speak up and then they just follow what everyone else says.Sad,but that's in America.Lets not let that happen on ozhonda.Not that it would anyways
    The coil will be good but the full system will be better

    just to stir your pots - i have tested this myself and heard the opinions /. experiences from more than 10 pros ~ Its not what ive simply heard. While ignition upgrades does have a benefit ,
    Its official that the (good working order) Honda ignition system is fine for all applications. IMO there are better things to spend money on

    That ive seen (which means , over the years of seeing with my own eyes , or on the interweb etc) i havent seen too many applications that use aftermarket ignition.Also discussed briefly with some tuners / racers here in oz and overseas. But thats just my experience and opinion. Use this like you want. The fact remains is OEM ignition is fine for many applications

    TO keep this on topic in regards to the original post , Does anyone here have a coilpack system rec. for this setup ? Any actual experience with ignition for these turboed D series ?

    fair enough as i am not one to doubt ur knowledge and experience...

    however to highlight your last sentence, this is what i will say to some others in this forum...

    I would rather spend $100 on a coil upgrade than $300 on an intake system... nuff said.

    Sorry, I agree with Bennjamin

    Stock ignition systems should be sufficient, the furthest i'd go is upgrading the coil for $130 using a jacobs coil (more than enough on your boosted D)

    Why spend so much on an aftermarket ignition system ? spend that on a water injection setup and push your timing through the roof and gain 5 times that of the ignition system....be smart with these modifications

    water injection on a turbo car > upgraded ignition.

    this was just an example, i can think of 50 other things you can spend your money on.

    trust me, i speak from experiance...uprgade the coil (IF YOU MUST) and look into other things.

    Thats fair enough , its your opinion. But the truth is neither do anything lol.
    Updating your ignition is something only the most serious should consider.
