about msd 6al ignition - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I am decide to get the msd 6al ignition for my KA for now. But one question pop to my head was, will it reuseable for a SR? because i am saving money for a S14 SR in the future(prolly next summer i guess <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'> ) I don't want to spend like 300 for the ignition (with the other acessoriares like blaster ss coil, and fuel/tach adapter, etc) and re-sell it for dirty cheap <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'> . I want something that can use with KA and SR to save me out of a headache. anyways, any advise counts.

Btw, if the 6al is good to get, which fuel/tach adapter i should get in order for my 95' S14? because they have two different adapter on their site, such as #8920 and 8910(actually is three, the other one is 8910lt something like that)

P.S i did the search but didn't show what i'm looking for. so don't fire me for not searching it first <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/devil.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':devil:'>

SR's have distributerless ignition systems. rendering all that msd stuff useless if you try and port it over. You could yank out the DIS of the SR and swap in a distributor from a non turbo SR. I personaly don't think that it's worth it. However there are people who argue that it makes more power.

SR uses coilpacks totally incompatible system.  unless you convert the SR to a distributer setup which requires retuning the ecu and a whole bunch of expensive crap

Since we are on the topic I am running a Jim Wolf tuned US ECU with the distributor on my SR, what would be a good ignition system to use with it if anybody knows.

since you already went that route I've heard lots of good stuff about the MSD and I believe greaser was running that on his while it was in his 96 but dont quote me on that  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
