I only wish I was there so i could take you boys for a ride in RICESP
Just came back from a drive now and it's a fucking rocket I throw a metric ass load of water through the engine, 11 heat range pure race plugs, lots of fuel, and its a gem, pulls through to 8000rpm with over 0.6g applied to your back at almost 100mph! and only on 20psi boost. Intake air temperature in the top half of the manifold is less than 40 deg C (on a 20 deg C ambient day) and all using the stock SP "small" inter cooler.

I'll post up the CDI system I use for others benefit, been running this for over 3 years now with zero reliability issues, idles great, runs anything you can imagine. I did allot of tests on inductive and scrapped it long ago > http://www.aquamist.co.uk/vbulletin/...t=1590&page=15 post #142 onwards

Few pics of my ignition set up below

Here is pics of the RR COP CD system mounted up (CDI boxes next to battery on custom holder), wiring harness and COP's installed.

You are right, its a horses for courses question. If its down to money and the OP only wants 10psi then he would be mad to fit up a CDI system..... agree.

Yes we did. The only REAL CDI system that I have experience with is the M&W and the idle sucked. I've got a decent sized street port and the Bosch inductive coils that I have will idle the thing smoothly down to ~800-850 rpm. I generally keep the idle ~1000 though. With the M&W it was lopy, couldn't really hold it. Granted I only spent a few minutes dicking around with it but I did adjust all the idle settings, play around with the restrike option in the software. it got better, but nothing like the inductive coils.

But like you said a year ago, it could be system specific. I just don't have the experience to comment on all of them. The M&W picked up power, fired what the Bosch's couldn't, but the idle quality suffered.

You should run meth instead of water, ditch the intercooler and see below ambient temps

Okay, I killed that last one cause it doesn't contribute anything to this technical thread.
Most of you are aware that we already have a BDC bashing thread in The Lounge, so you're more than welcome to post to your heart's content in there.
If you want, I can move that reply to The Lounge if you want me to...

And now back to our regularly scheduled programming...

Has anyone heard of denso n390 coils and are the igniters built in?
