Snot visual------agggghhhh cant get it out of my head. Talk about personnel involvement in rebuilds---no other body fluids used i hope![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
i used the msg ls coil specific connectors and boots on msd wires, both were 90 degree connectors. measured continuity was spot on.
i used the plastic corrugated wire loom stuff to help insulate the wires and to keep them separated. Do that with all of them.
i didnt use that ground spot. i used another spot on the rail that the negative battery terminal goes to--sanded it down of course. Its closer to my coil pack that way.
Supra turbo guys tell me that they have oscilloscoped (none to show me) the twin power and what it does for them is to increase the dwell? I am still lost with it.
good info---- thanks.

Grounding is CRUCIAL with the RX-8.
Supra? As in OBDI or OBDII? Big difference.

I think Ray just called me an idiot..... but in a very nice way. ![Wink](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)

In our "Gamma-testing" process since the initial release of the BHR Ignition System we have learned a few things about the varying levels of installation experience and understandings of automotive electronics on part of the end-installer, whether "professional" or novice, and our most recent updates to the installation instructions now reflect the importance of using the ground location I described.

oh i believe everyone about the hks twin---yall have thought and researched this much more than I have. It is kinda stupid for HKS to advertise that it does increase ignition capability specifically for the RX8. Thats marketing and business for some companies you now a days--i guess. What they should do is to show a confirming oscillascope analysis on their unit. That would leave no doubts.
ray---i dont know if it was obd 1 or 2 cars---good question.
By the way Summit Racing carries 45 degree and 90 degree connectors made by msd for the ls type coils.
Guys---another question. Does cooling the intake charge temps via water methanol injection influence the sparkplug heat range needed?

Nah, just saying that I subconsciously assumed a few things when I wrote the first version of the installation instructions and I have had to revise them a couple times since them. IIRC, Huey, you were in that very first batch of kits we built and shipped.

Well, going to try this again. I posted yesterday and guess it was deleted for some reason. Guess it was the pictures of my house or something. I've finally settled in Maryland and started getting on a few projects since I've gotten most of my tools setup. here is a few of my blower setup.

Speak of the devil and he appears.
Guys, I need someone to check their coil set - I need to know the color code for the wires from the PCM that go to each coil, lead and trail, front and rear. Can't find it in any of the Mazda manuals I've got. Thanks.
Stinks like SeaFoam in here.

nothing for the 09'+s yet.
Yall I am semi seriously thinking of using my car to become a competitive NASA TT car.
With the low boost pulley (hp about 270 or so?) i can just make the TTC class--its thought.
I could be very competitive in that class. I would no longer use it for a DD and a proper cage would be installed.
Think Cam would sponser me --lol!
Hard decisions.

That base class will almost certainly be TT-C +14, so unless you do absolutely nothing to make your car lighter and use a stock suspension, you will end up being a TT-B car.
