^^^^ awesome looks like the LS1 MSD coils may work, only potential issue is the size and fitment

 

You'll need to run a Plug Wire as it just doesn't drop in the hole like the Stock coils.
Msd Wires p/n 32769

 

Alright so i email modern performance regarding that kit and heres what i sent and the reply:
So i was looking at your website and found the MSD DIS-2 Ignition System in the cobalt section and i was wondering if it will work for the cobalt because it said its for the neon.
reply:
That’s a good question, haven’t heard anyone installing one on the cobalt. Give MSD a call and see what they say. (915) 857-5200

Anyways so Rodimus any progress with installation?

 

Well I know it can be done because all the Gm race teams use it, they use a digital 7 actually but the wiring really isnt any different, ive looked over the build books and it seems for the coil on plug installations they used Honda CBR1000 Denso Coils, not sure where to find those at

Really at this point im kinda stuck until I get this MSD6304 part and a DIS4 box, about 600 in parts, I have a DIS 2 box but I dont see how that will work unless it converts the system to a waste spark type

 

keepin an eye on this. since my stock ignition is gonna need to go very soon

 

MSD actually makes a cam signal generator as an intergral part of their distributor ignition system. I wish they would make it as a just a separate component.

 

cam signal isnt an issue like it is in the L61 since theres a seperate signal for that

 

Im getting be giving an update soon becuase i gave the MSD guys some info and they are looking into it. I just got an email asking me what year the cobalt is. So ill update once i get another email and ill post up what i sent them and everything.

 

My understanding is you have to use the DIS4 for a 4 cylinder direct fire setup. I don't quite understand how the two part numbers you linked in your original post would apply to an ecotec. I think I'm lost on that one.
I agree, I think Dan's turbo setup is gonna start bordering on the stock ignition's capacity. You'll more than likely be in the same boat.

Isn't part number 8914 the one you would want to use? I'm pretty sure thats what keeps the SES light away when you convert an 01-06 L61 to MSD. Standalone component that simulates the CMP (camout) signal to the PCM when you eliminate the ignition control module.

 

The msd part i mentioned in the very first post of this thread is needed for a dis 4 with coil on plug

The 8914 yes is for L61 cam signal, has no relevance to this discussion about LSJ and isnt needed

 

Thats where you lost me. I see no reason to need that. The DIS 4 should interface directly to the factory trigger wires and using MSD coils to replace the stockers.

I understand that. I replied to post #22 which is why I originally quoted it.

 

ill have to see about getting the msd4 box soon, pricey piece they used to be 350 now are 500 bucks just in the past 2 years

 

Yeah too expensive for the time being. I have too much on my plate right now, but if you need anything else as far as diagrams go, lemme know.

 

well i got an update from MSD *sigh*:
Thank you for you interest in our products. Unfortunately we do not manufacture the ignition product you are looking for at this time. We have several projects in the works right now; moreover, try checking back with us in several months to see if we have more information at that time.

 

HAHAH nice response , at least they responded thats further than I got with them 2 years ago when I was working with the L61.

I just got paid today so we shall see what happens....

im working on 2 other projects at the moment and then ill get on this, Im finishing up some stereo stuff then its wideband and Dual Aeroforce time and then calibrations

 

any updates on this rodimus?? i did your swap on my old eco cavalier and it had amazing results just seeing if u have made any progress on the ss/sc?

 

no progress at this point, just dont have the extra cash to try it out, im prob going to do some other mods first, i do have the harness here all ready to go for it

 

might have to try to figure this out this winter.

 

this is pretty sweet i hope it pans out. it would be nice to see more big name companies into these cars

 

Subsriced Cause My Coil isnt sparking correctly

 

so wait. are u tryin to get this to work for the 2.0/2.4's? or the 2.2's? cuz i got an 07 2.2 and this sounds like a pretty damn good idea

No. This system is designed for compression sense, waste spark systems. You have a coil on plug system.
