Got ignition troubles - looking for a plug in improvement ? HKS powa !

Thanks to goldenchild for recomending this fine unit

Its a total plug n play ingition upgrade solution from HKS

It has the complete harness to just bolt into the evo

http://www.hksusa.com/products/?id=840



I am headed to the dyno later today to test it out on a few evos and see what power if any it can make on a stock evo

I also will be testing it on my evo to see if it can help the nightmasrish AEM EMS ignition misfires

If this don;t work on my car then its time for a MSD ignition - but this HKS set up is so neat - so nice and so easy its like a 2 min install

Lets hope it works!

Remember - at Dyno Flash - we spend the hard earned $ to buy all the products - test them on the dyno - and THEN we tell you what works and what dosn't work. We don't SELL any parts whnat so ever - only our Dyno Flash - so we have no profit motivation to hawk parts that do not work well. IF IT works well we'll tell you

Al with your close relationship to Buschur Racing why would you try and possibly recomend an ignition product other than his?

I hope it is meant to work with the Evos internal transistors.
I heard of some having them burn up, but I don't think it was with the HKS unit...

I called them and theirs is not ready yet

I am hoping to score a Buschur Plug on coil set up the minute it is realeased - it seems like the best soultuon

However - this is something I got a hold of thanks to golden child as a band aide in the meantime

Lets hop it helps a little bit

I am testing it in about two hours

Drove over to the dyno shop - Pruven - with it on a customer's car that has 18,000 plus miles

Before I installed this I noticed some mising up top and weakness on the high end - I was going to recomend a new set up plugs to the customer

With the ignition installed - the car was running much stonger and smoother - a definite 10 whp gain I am sure

Now I am going to tune another evo on the dyno and when the tune is done I will test the HKS ignition A - B to see what gains or losses we see

Anyone aware of who might have one of these in stock? I'm on a building frenzy and its one of the remaining components I planned on getting (A sheetmetal intake being the other)

Goldenchld - thanks for the heads up on this and the info !

Here is what this sucker does . . .

before and after - it took 7 minutes to pop it in and then LOOK at the power and low end trq gains

this unit is a winner !!!! and so easy to install a child could do it

BTW - not a bad showing for the Dyno Flash either - all this car had was a boost controller, cat back and a drop in filter and its making 291 ft lbs to the wheels on pump gas !

Al, so the Evo wasn't reflashed after the ignition was added? Would it be a good mod on an Evo that is already Dynoflashed?Any effect on a/f ratio at all?

Just saw the price. For $700 I think I'll do some other mods before I worry about getting it
