ls ignition upgrared

s14.5gonewide · 08-22-2010, 01:28 PM

anyone know the part numbers for the ls2 coil upgrade msd?

also is their a coilpack amplifier for the ls2 or for the ls series ignition?

as in the msd cop amplifier box or coilblaster that owrks with the ls2 truck coils?

help

x3. Can't beat the reliability of the stockers

Many ls boards will tell you to stay away from the msd coils. The stockers are still the best.

the best coils are the truck coils, the MSD's arnt worth the money, guys are making well over 1000hp with the stockers

'''''''''''''i heard one day that there are stock coils out there with some heat sink fins on them and they are the best out of the shock but there are many making over 1000hp with stockers so i would stay away from MSD coils,,,,,,,,,,,,

Yup!

If you really want a set I saw a set at parks on Rivers yesterday for for like $850. MSD

I would get an optispark

I think I would just convert it to a Carb. and be done with it. Besides that's some tricky stuff that fuel injection junk. Then you only got one coil to mess with.

s14.5gonewide · 08-22-2010, 05:20 PM

well is thir a coil amplifier.. because the truck ls2 coils arn't cutting it.

i tried ls1, ls2,ls2 car,ls2truck,msd ls2 coil and still have the same issue. i might throw a m&w ignition on it to amplify the spark and it will also alow for better ignition on the leading edge and traling edge.

and on the dyno the msd coils worked exactly like the ls2 truck. where the ls2 car and all others acted like the ls1.

what are some upgrades the ls guys are doing? amplifiers, ignition boxes, blaster coils hei tower coils? if i had hair i would be pulling it out i have been trouble shooting last 2 days on the dyno.

That's just it, they're not. That is what most are trying to relay.

What is exactly is the nature of the problem?

s14.5gonewide · 08-22-2010, 07:23 PM

coil on plug setup is dieing out up top.

i have tried everything in way of swapping diffrent coils from vaqrious ls series motors and nothing helps.

so far the most reliable combo is ... ls2 truck coils with msd 8.8 wires but it still does not cut it.

i have toyed with the idea of a cdi or ignition amplifier.

the issue is not timing drift or pre trailing edge ignition. these have all been ruled out on the dyno.

the problem is at 8,200 rpms the ignition system just cant stand up and do its damn job.

Carlrx7 · 08-22-2010, 08:27 PM

Have you tried to mess with the "Spark Dwell" in HPTuners? id also recommend stock wires and regap to .030

1998ta__1991rs · 08-22-2010, 08:33 PM

what kind of car do you have them on? there should be no problem with the stock coils pulling to 8200. the only other option for ls motors is doing the front mount distributor

LStang · 08-22-2010, 08:48 PM

i heard that most go with the front mount dist if they turn over like 7500-7800

BigdaddyDupree · 08-22-2010, 09:49 PM

msd wires are the problem. neil had a number of problems with them on the TBSS

s14.5gonewide · 08-22-2010, 09:50 PM

think we figured out the problem.
http://www.jfetech.nl/LS2-Coil

pretty much the coils cant handle the high boost(still not at target psi) and rpm's a 1000whp ls motor makes less per cyl than our car so the coil has to work much harder.. we actually started seeing timing drift from the coils(checking oms) on the top end..

we spin over 8k np the car was still making power and torque at that point. we are throwing some new ls2 truck coils. new 8.8 wires and a cdi ignition box..

the box is a dual capacitor that will hold the voltage and will also do multispark (pre,during,post) and is an amplifier

i will know mid week of the issue is resolved parts are being next dayed to the shop/dyno

i hope this does the trick.

I'm late to the party

What kinda of motor is this and what are the plugs gapped at?

I don't have miss fires @ 9200rpm and 26-30psi I haven't put any more to her so I can't say over that. I am also running my coils @ close to full dwell.

What kinda of managment system?
