...and the rebuild commences...

[thermal]

These AEM ignition modules had TRIPLE fu**ed me already....

C2di unit (box #1), about 5 miles...... caught on fire. I called AEM for a replacement. In the meantime, CompressionFed offered me his C2di unit (box #2) from his race car, but shutdowns my motor every time it gets warm, which is around 30-40 miles of driving. Will function again after it cools down. I even hooked up a 12v fan to it. No luck. So, when I got my replacement unit from AEM, I was glad to see that they sent me a Twin-Fire.... this is box #3 now. About 200 miles later, this Twin-Fire is now frying the inline power fuse. I slapped a new fuse about 3 times but keeps on blowing it.

I cant deal with these units anymore. Three brand new ignition amp with the same results. When the second box failed, I almost got hit by an 18 wheeler when my car died out on an exit ramp.. a blind spot from hell... a busy industrial area.... Truck got so close to me that he had to go on reverse just to come around me. I got out of the car to redirect traffic when another 18 wheeler swerved to avoid me and almost hit the car next to him.

I've contacted AEM and I was told that this is the first problem they had with the Twin-Fire box. They are willing to replace my current one for free. But I dont want to use it anymore. I'll get the new one and sell it. I think these units are more of a race car application anyway.


So I bought this set-up:
http://www.msdignition.com/dist_84_8488.htm. Good stuff from what I've heard. Also has a built in "hall-effect" sensor. Coil on Plug conversion looks cool and in theory should work better than the OEM Honda system. But it is not worth the headache. The other option was to get another 4 channel output Ignition amp from M&W..... but that is $899..... I can buy another EMS for that price......

I'll post a review soon.....
