honda igniter... Is there another solution?
I recently had a igniter go out on me again shortly after installing a MSD 6al. This seem to be a constant problem and most likely will happen even more often with an upgraded ignition sys. I have never been 100% clear on what the igniter does. Is there is a way to get rid of it and use something else such as a trigger mechanism that would connect to the magnetic pick up connection on the msd box?

Re: honda igniter... Is there another solution?
instead of trying to remove the ignitor you should try removing the MSD... :1
i made nearly 400whp while reving to 9500rpms on OEM Honda ignition parts (distributor, coil, ignitor, wires, etc)
im sure you can do without it too...

Re: honda igniter... Is there another solution?
The reason I installed the msd 6al is because I wasen't getting complete ignition at WOT and at higher boost levels and I determined that by datalogging and playing with spark plug gap. Maybe you made that much power on a stock ignition setup but I am sure it wasen't healthy power expecially at that high of rpm.
I will try putting a brand new igniter in and see how long it lasts. Maybe I will get lucky.

are u runnin solid core spark plug wires? if you are thats why u keep burning up ignitors, switch to oem wire and should be good. just my 2 cents

Let me guess replacement ignitors from vatozone etc. Never ever trust dist parts except Honda.
Also the msd isnt causing the ignitor problems most likely some form of a short or grounding issue. Myself and most of everyone I know runs aftermarket ignitions and never do we eat through them.
I have had 2 ignitors die on me on the dyno but these were old 15 year old+ obdo b16a dist that after using used d16a6 ignitors on them both fired up and one enjoyed low 11 sec passes all motor and reving to 9600. IDRC Finals.
