Fireball FI98x Turbo Build
Get the 4 bar and turn that baby up. I want to see 4's.
Now back to the nitrous section I go before I go and spend a lot of money.

I see said the blind man...found the chafed wire causing the coil fuse to blow...it was on the miniharness connecting the BS3 harness to each coil pack...
Are you going to remove the external reluctor you put on and go back to the basics to see if this was the problem all along?

I'm confused. Perhaps you or someone else can explain to me how the reluctor is stabilizing boost. My understanding is that the PCM uses the reluctor position vs spark advance in order to determine when it should fire the coils. If you had an ignition wiring problem, how do you know if this other setup really helped anything or not? I understand if it is a huge pain in the *** to go back to the old setup due to wiring but would love to know if something like this is REQUIRED in order to play at that power level. KYTP is putting together a twin 70mm kit as we speak that I will be involved in making it work and responsible for the tuning. I'd like to circumvent any possible pitfalls before they come up.

I understand that the BS3 is different from the stock PCM and if this setup is required in order for proper spark control then an aftermarket EMS will have to be used as well. Do you run this reluctor setup on your car?

he runs an MSD flying magnet wheel and a distributor
the chaffed coil wire is a totally new problem,the old problem was cured with the frt reluctor wheel.going back to the internal reluctor wheel will result in the same problem as before.

think it was just a compounded set of problems (A, B and C). I've addressed A&B and hopefully have now fixed C
