    I thought she left you too.

    Here's the funny part of all your posts, you talk all this BS on the web but when I say I am coming out to Cali you clam up and go underground for a month or so. :confused5:

    What's the problem? Did you not want to see me face to face and talk crap? :cryin: I did not think so..... web muscles. :frown2:

    Do a little research and reading up on the MSD coil in an MINI and you will see what they have been known to do. It's not good and cost $$ to repair.

    Stay with the OEM coil.

    UPDATE: I did the Google research for you.

    The MSD has been know to cause expensive problems like fried ecu. No gains & a chance for a big loss.

    Yes its a "known" "possibility" with minis in particular that they cook, and it has been "known" to cook computers (DME) or other electronics.

    Over the years, we've seen cracked MSD units and more problems than solutions. If you're willing to spend the money, it's your choice.

    Just keep in mind that many higher HPs Minis are still running the oem coil pack, mainly because that except for corrosion on a terminal, those things are pretty reliable. Nothing that a once in a while inspection and some dielectric grease can't prevent.

    I have always believed high out put ignitions do nothing until you are looking for that last little bit of performance left to squeeze out of a motor. Even then with modern systems that is suspect.

    as I said from the start and was proven correct.............the stock ignition coil is good to at least 600whp...........so why would you need aftermarket parts that HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO FRY ECU's???? We have already replaced at least 4 ecu's with fried ignitors inside the ecu. That's a bare minimum repair bill of $1800.........

    So tell me again WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?

    For the same reason people buy intercoolers that raise IATs more than stock, restrictive cold air intakes, certain types of superchargers, and cams that take a stock MC S to base Cooper levels..,:mad2:

    That, or they look nice, can't figure out which.

    One word....
    Butt-dyno/pleceabo.....and NO, NOT THE STRAPON KIND!!:devil: interestingly enough the effect is the same....you got f$%ked!!
    Owner spends money....feels better!! Granted...sometimes a new INFERIOR PART IS better than a worn or broken OEM, so there might be a change before vs after....just not as good as new OEM or quality part....

    Looks like I missed out on the fun...
    Listen to the people who are trying to save your car, not the ones trying to sling parts. Just because something is shiny red and new, doesnt mean there is an advantage to it... The MSD, wasn't even made to be used on a MINI, why do you think you need to drill the mounting holes out to get the screws in? (Maybe they fixed that issue)

    NS cams have been linked to a ton of problems... Misfires, sub par running conditions, loss of power over a stock cam, the list goes on... Seems like before I was banned from the Mynes forum, there where a lot of those guys swapping their NS cams for CAT cams... Kinda makes you wonder why doesn't it?

    If Mr Cricket gets his posting time back from his wife, maybe he will come back into the thread and explain that one for us...

    That's a bad father. You should never teach your kids to point. It's a dead give away.
