    The MSD 6530 sounds like a fkn winner! If your running carby and want performance on a dizzy it sounds like it's the best option.
     
    I'm running an inductive system. TFI dizzy and high energy single coil pack controlled by Megasquirt ECU. Gets good spark energy and superior duration compared to an capacitive (ie MSD) system but it's a no go zone above 6000rpm if you use a dizzy as it will exceed the duty cycle of the coil.
    If you want to rev over 6000rpm on a dizzy you pretty much have to go capacitive system or you'll be sacrificing your dwell times = less spark.
    Make no mistake however, MSD is a very good system. It's proven. Throwing out an MSD to switch to inductive on a dizzy would be silly. However, if you are YET to upgrade your ignition system, and are not planning on exceeding 6000rpm. Inductive should be considered.
     
    I mentioned COP and CPP before and there were a few questions.
    COP and CPP stands for Coil on Plug and Coil Per Plug Respectively. The difference is COP the coil connects directly to the plug, there is no spark lead. With CPP the coils are mounted remotely and a lead run to the plug.
    COP and CPP systems take out the dizzy all together, a single coil fires each plug. This gives less variation in timing, greater reliability and less resistive points for loss in spark energy.
    The coils duty is 1/6th sequential or 1/3 wasted, that of a dizzy coil. So, you can run full dwell well above 10,000rpm for max spark on an inductive system.
     
    COP/CPP waste spark means exactly that. It is a coil on plug or a coil per plug installation that uses only a crank trigger to run.
     
    To expand,
    To get the correct timing on a dizzy you only need a signal every TDC. So for a 6 cylinder you need 6 signals per camshaft rotation. The dizzy sends the spark to the correct plug.
    WIthout the dizzy you need to tell the ECU which coil to fire. So it needs to know TDC on number 1 cylinder so it can correctly sequence the firing order. The first version of this is a trigger wheel on the crank.
     
    There are 720 degrees crankshaft rotation, per ignition event, per cylinder.
    Meaning the computer only knows TDC on cylinder 1. NOT if it is TDC compression or TDC exhaust stroke.
    Problem? The solution is easy. The ECU simply fire's on both!
     
    There will be a spark at TDC exhaust AND TDC compression. One spark ignites the fuel mix. and the other... does nothing. As it's sparking against no compression (the exhaust valve is open)and into exhaust fumes. Therefore it is 'Wasted'
     
    Thats where it comes from. Waste spark means every second spark on each cylinder is 'wasted'
     
    To get full sequential spark, you need to know if the engine is on the exhaust, or compression stroke. This information is picked from the Camshaft via a camshaft position sensor.

    OMFG thats my compressor! Well its not mine but it's the same!
    That one at the back in the pick. Exact tank mine has. Although looking at it more i have a twin piston compressor on that tank. Okay, i think i just got over excited.
     
     
    Moving on, Hell yeah! I agree, Garnet blasting is fking awesome! The best method for cleaning up a lot of different things. Big fan of the cabinets, not too sure about the external ones, shit goes everywhere.

    Let's talk ignition systems for our crossflows.
    I personally have had great success with the TFI dizzy and MSD 6al-2 programmable 6530 ignition system, I found that the features of this system were hard to beat for the price. Rev limit, burnout rev limit, launch rev limit, boost/nitrous retard and a full programmable ignition curve, you can make and save any number of curves to suit different fuel or race conditions, just upload from a laptop.

    Crazy2287 got a reaction from Clevo120Y in Intercooler question   
    well depends on how critical you want the system. Pressure drop across a the intercooler will be similar as that of a drop in free air. the point that the air is at a higher pressure than ambient will have little bearing, other than it's increase in temperature and density, there will still be a drop whenever air is turbulent, changing velocities or changing direction.
     
    you may not 'see' the drop as the wategate will close more to increase the pressure and negate the effect of the pressure drop. what you don't see is the increase in effort this forces the escaping exhaust gas to exert and in effect reducing exhaust flow which will = lower output. You will also reduce the maximum boos capable from the turbo as your wasting a fraction of it on the ducting and cooler.

    And there lies the single biggest issue with 99% of X-flow owners.Most want $10,000 performance for $10.It just doesn't work that way.I know there basically a old tractor luggin snot box of a thing but performance parts cost money and alot are custom made or a "found" item from another brand or make that just happens to work.
     
    I have a custom girdle custom pan,custom stud kit,custom guide plates custom pipes and the list goe's on and on.If it was a SS they would not think twice about dropping $4000 on a set of wheels and another $4000 on a stereo but god dam if they will spend $400 on a manifold? 
     
    We need to get people out of that way of thinking and accept if we want to go fast we have spend money on needed parts even if it is just a old tractor engine.

    What is it for one and you should have primed the oil pump before even trying to start it.I use a full battery on my 18volt cordless drill winding the oil pump over while I get a mate to wind the crank over by hand to help spread that golden love everywhere.
     
    If it's a xflow,find TDC,pull the dizzy and pour some oil down there then wind the oil pump drive over with a 8mm socket (I think it's 8mm that fits the oil pump drive) on a extension bar and a hand brace or cordless drill till you get oil coming out the rocker gear.
     
    Id guess it's still a tad noisy and really you should not be starting it until you have solid oil pressure and oil everywhere in the engine.
