Don't mean to bring this thread from the dead, but I just put in DSM coils and an ignitor and it works good so far. Need to still test high boost. This is an awesome and cheap way to upgrade your ignition, you just have to be comfortable soldering a few wires. Will update once I try high boost.

can i get a parts list and wiring diagram??? ray

Here is a diagram I made for something very similair:




The only difference will be the coil wiring. The DSM coils are already wired up so if you get the ignitor with the coil packs from a DSM it will already be done. Otherwise you will need to wire in the 12v switched to the larger black/white wire on the coils and then the other two wires from the coilpacks go to the signal out wires from the ignitor. The colors and everything may be incorrect on this diagram but the ignitor has each one labeled on the front of the ignitor so you cant mess it up.

And as for the parts you need is a 91+ DSM ignitor and coilpacks and 4 sparkplug wires a little bit of solder.

Interesting...How did you set yours up on the AEM. I have talon coils too, so I just used the coil dwell wizard and chose Mitsubishi coils, which sets all the options for you as well.

where can i source the pig tail plug in for the igniter????? And where can i get an igniter reasonabley cheap??? Ray

pigtail for ignitor and coils I got from a junkyard. Had to pay $30 for the whole harness because it ruins it once you cut out that part.

Ya know.. you could go to www.nology.com they have a 3 channel transistorized igniter and wiring harness that easily adapts.. (its the same type of igniter used on the 3KGT) and you can buy it as a 1, 2, or 3 channel setup, the 2 channel is ours.. It works with the HKS-DLI2 CDI ignition for the evo only.. any other CDI would burn out the igniter, but its intended to be used as a standalone replacement and it does work fine..

Its not plug and play, but its the same as doing it with the DSM ignitor (since it is actually similar)

Has anyone directly compared the 300m coils to using motorcycle coils? The motorcycle coils are smaller, regenerate faster, but may not last as long, but they do fire at over 10,000rpm with no loss in spark energy..

I actually have both the 300m coils and the motorcycle coils and have been debating which set to ultimately use.

Well, i have the 300m coils with the new twin fire. I get nothing but missing over 2krpm. Idles fine. AEM tech has no idea. Ive tried everything. So i guess ill sell the twinfire and try a different route. With my timing lite hooked up, i can see the spark strobe go uneven over 2k on all 4 cylinders. So this leads me to believe that the coils are fine. Ime sure its somthing simple, but i cant figure it out. The twin fire is fine or the car wouldnt idle....Ime seriously frustrated as i cant run over 26PSI.......

I believe there is a problem with some of the Chysler coils... I can not figure out the problem with mine... mine will free rev to anything I want but wont hit over 20psi. I replaced them with the DSM coils and they work perfect.

Also, for the DSM coil settings in the AEM you need to manually do it as the wizard does not set them correctly. I believe the settings should be 1.00 and 0.10 for the top and second options. The cal on the 1300 ecu settings has it this way but for some reason when you use the wizard it sets those two options to 0.50 and 0.05 respectivly. I did mine both ways and both worked fine but I think the way to ensure the coil operates the best is the 1.0 / .10 way.

The pigtail for the ignitor can be taken from a junkyard off the ignitor or a 2g DSM MAF. Im pretty sure they are identical.

I have heard of alot of people using one of the CB coils on various applications. I have heard mixed results from doing so. Other popular coils people use are from an LS1 and some Mustang. The LS1 and mustang ones normally people arent that happy with but the old setup that Sean Glazer sold was using the LS1 coils.

o.k. so maybe i need to try the DSM coils......

Well tried high boost today. I have the DSM coils and ignitor with 30, 1 and .1 for the 3 options. You are correct, the wizard changes the 35 to 30 but leaves the .5 and .05 the same for some reason. Absolutely no misfire at even 32.5psi. I keep my tune around 30 psi, but no misfire at all it worked like a champ.

No need to waste your money on the $500 hks unit, just buy a used ignitor/coils and harness from a junkyard for $100 max and pay another $70 for plug wires and you have a fix.
