CDI ignition wiring help.

For a coil on Plug set up I highly recommend doing the front and rear rotor as modular units with opposing plugs, you can see the detail above.

I would on the M&W CDI coil NOT use the BS connector and would pot in (and add shrink boot) the three wires you need into a 6 way DT series plug for each rotors T&L coil, this then would be a quick connect/disconnect and be much more reliable than the OE shitty plug on the coil, and you will never mix them up.

One bolt and one plug disconnect and off it comes, easy simple, un fuckable.

Great Idea Rice with the modular, that was kinda my plan, then do just like you did with the 2 connectirs on your old dyna setup, wire the connectors so on the coil side one is femaleone is male, no way to screw it up then

What do you mean by 'pot in'
Like solder the wire to the plug then fill the whole plug area with silicone or something?

I found these chinese version of the Deutsch HDT-48-00 crimpers, I'm guessing not nearly as good, but under half the price its tempting... then I could purchase a nig connector 'kit' with a few of everything in it. The cheaper $50 one only do certain sizes of wire, so i would prefer to just get one size fits all crimpers.

If anyone knows domething selling a old pair of those crimpers I would be very interested in getting a set. Ild well taken care of tools work awesome lots of the time vs newer chinese stuff.

Should I just put in an order from prowireusa to grab a bunch of wire?

I want to make it so I leave the factory wiring completely untouched (try to not cut it up, maybe just depin a few) but have it completely reversible. So use a new male connector 4-pin for coil harness so I don't hack it up, then adapt it to be the trigger from ecu - pro 14. If I could find new ecu pins though, I would prefer to depin coil triggers from ecu and run 4 new independent wires.

@ keeping away from power wires etc, yes, and if you have to cross it, do it as close to a 90* cross as pissible.

I would describe myself as competent with wiring, mainly its high quality tools/materials because they cost so much up front.

Im no pro, but I beileve I can do a good job, just won't be *as* good.

Forgot to mention I can get *Real* Mil-Spec wire, local business brings it up from the US, only bad thing is $1/1ft...

Im looking for clarification on one thing here, how should I connect the wire to the coil make pin, before I pot it?

What connection would you suggest making to be permanently 'potted' in place

I'm thinking of using the supplied SOCKET only, crimping to wire, placing onto the coil male pin, then potting it in.

Again, thank you guys for helping this newbie out...
