Eric Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hi Im going to install the msd dis-2 on my car. Can you help me about the dwell values please. Please note the cars have also msd coil pack and running at 11000 RPM. Thanks in advance for your help. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Hi Eric, A good starting point would be 3ms dwell right across the table. When you are testing it watch the dwell value in the runtime values and make sure it is not being reduced at high RPM. Cheers, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hi Eric, In this situation there are two important time constraints when it comes to ignition. Spark duration (normally somewhere around 1 ms) and dwell. As RPM increases there is less time for both functions to be performed. On the Link G4 systems when there is not enough time for both, the spark duration remains constant and the dwell time is reduced. The only things that can be changed to improve this is to modify the ignition system or make compromises on dwell, spark duration or RPM. I am unsure whether the MSD coil pack you have is direct spark or wasted spark. Assuming it is running waste fire coils, spark duration of 1ms and dwell of 3ms, each ignition coil will fire every 360 degrees, which means the maximum rpm is 15,000 rpm. It looks like you will be fine, usually when people run into this problem it it trying to run something like a single coil distributed v8.

Eric Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 This is the information about the coil Coil Wire Attachment Female/Socket Coil Style Coil pack Primary Resistance 0.530 ohms Coil Internal Construction Epoxy Coil Color Red Maximum Voltage 40,000 V Turns Ratio 83:1 Secondary Resistance 12.8 ohms Inductance 5.8 mH Mounting Bracket Included No Coil Wire Included No Ballast Resistor Included No Coil Shape Square Height (in) 3.349 in. Length (in) 4.097 in. Width (in) 3.472 in. Quantity Sold individually. Notes For DIS ignitions. Now how i shall for the ignition mode as mine is set on Wasted spark. Spark Edge ( Is set as Falling) Ignition Delay ( Is set 0 us) Spark duration ( Is set to 1 ms) Max Advance ( Is set 45deg BTDC) Thank again for your help as this car is making me crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Hi Eric, What is actually happening? Is the engine running at all? Or are you only having problems at high RPM? Do you have a photo of your ignition coils or a link to a website where I can find information about them? I need to try and find out if your coils one one per cylinder, or if they are wasted spark. Cheers, Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Hi Eric, Thanks for the links. The ignition coil only has two inputs, so must be operating in a wasted spark setup. Looking at the wiring diagram in the instructions for part number 8241 you will need some a 2 channel ignitor. Do you have on these in your setup. What is the actual problem? Are you getting any spark? Regards, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hi Scott, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â I was to have the link ignitor but I use to have like a limiter at about 7500 rpm. So I change it to the msd DIS 2. Yes I use to have spark but it was very low. So Shall I leave all the following figers as there are? Spark Edge ( Is set as Falling) Ignition Delay ( Is set 0 us) Spark duration ( Is set to 1 ms) Max Advance ( Is set 45deg BTDC) Thanks Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Hi Eric, Spark edge for an MSD is normally set to rising. The rest of your settings look fine. Cheers, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
