Sup

Just got a sr20de turbo'd

i beleive its the one that comes on the silvia j's and silvia q's

anyway...just wanted to know..this unit has the distributor ign. system. Should I swap out the igntion system and get the coil on plug system? there's a lot of deals right now on ebay that has the full harness w/ ignitor and coil system. all i need to do is get that, and the Crank angle sensor.

or, i can just use the distributor system, and use my stock ecu and harness (KA24DE) i've read that I can use the ka harness and ecu with the distributor system. What do you guys think?

I'll post pics of the motor/trans set in a few days. jsut wanted to know if there really was a big improvement on the coil on plug system vs. the distributor system.

thanks guys

stock KA ECU with SR distributor ignition??

ummm...no. you can get a TUNED ECU to work with an SR and distributor ign. The SR has a completely different computer.

But seeing as how I've never actually *done* this and people are flamehappy on this board these days...I might as well shutup

Reason is, i have both ka and sr ecus. i;ve read on sport compact that the stock ka ecu can be used on the sr20de

that's what im asking. also, if you guys think i should change the igntion system from distributor to coil on plug system. sr20des come with distributor ign. system unlike the sr20det/
