Theres stuff on ecotecforum,com member DaFlyinSkwirl (there and here) has an MSD setup.

ok man thank you.. wheres the setup on here?

our stock coils are fine.... there are a lot of 400whp ecotecs running stock ignition systems other than swapping plugs...in fact, thats how most of them run.

How many of those 400whp ECOs are L61s??? :lol:

L61 cassette is a relative weak point.

hmm....tu chet my good sir. I thought the old cavis and sunfires used the stock ignition system though...i know theres several in the 400whp mark... are they running MSDs?

i dont see why the MSD sytem is needed at our power levels, hell if your making 400+hp first make sure the stock coil cant handle it, i mean if its not broken why fix it? if it wont break why change it?

If it wont break why fix it? They break on STOCK cars all the time, the ICM and to a lesser extent the coil pack is probably the most failure prone part on 05/06 L61 Balts

Nah, our ignition system is a lot , ummmmm, "beefier" than 1st Gen L61s Youd have to be making serious power or massive revs to truly need an upgrade

so my coil could still support 400hp with a 7k redline? if not im going to be pissed ive already spent too much :(

06 L61 7,000 rpm boosted to 20 or more psi is asking a lot from the stock ignition.:(

I'm going to push 15psi on mine, that should get me to ~200+whp, but I'm not going to rev that high

yeah im trying for 21psi 7k rev limit with a 2.55 pulley on a P-1sc procharger it should be flowing close to 800-900 cfm ;) i hope it will work.. i have 67k miles on my origional ignition so well see if it lasts much longer..

use the search button, your best friend.. theres a few thread about turbo'n ur 2.4 but mostly everyone is puttin the m62 in there car
