Type 2 Ignition-Pics-Questions

[Scoobum]

This is a Type 2 setup that has been tested on a S2 car...and has run fine under boost. Has anyone dealt with this before...or know anything about it. The coils are readily available. There's a part number on the module. Anyone know what it's off of?

[Scoobum]

Note that there is one pin less on the T2. To date we've had no issues with it on the S2 car.

[Scoobum]

The pin that's missing appears to be the ECM FUSE. Where's the electrical gurus?

[Steve Wood]

Those set ups used one power feed instead of two.  Some attribute the many problems associated with Type II to a power supply problem related to the one feed.  Yet those that use the system successfully report no problems.

Because so many of them are scrounged up, who knows if the system was working properly to begin with or if the problems were actually related to the single feed

I am no guru of anything other than BS and I have not stayed in a motel of any type in about 14 years

I haven't stayed in a Holiday Inn Express...so someone tell me what these modules are off of.

Looks like the type from a 3.8 supercharged the put in the Ultras

Thanks Steve. Bookmarked it for reference.

 its worth a shot

[Scoobum]

I'll give it a whirl on my car. Dan agrees with you...he's had varied success with these. We have it laying around... so what the hell...why not.

I would be tempted to "hot wire" the power to the module

[Scoobum]

Would an extra ground be helpful as well?

[Scoobum]

The 2 brain cells I have left in my head are beating the shit out of each other.   I wonder if the Caspers V Plus volt booster I have on the car bumps the voltage to the module as well as the pump. If it does...would hotwiring the module then be redundant?

[Scoobum]

Caspers says the V Plus volt booster increases the voltage to the fuel pump and ignition system.


Upon further review...hotwi ring runs voltage directly to the module...and the volt booster doesn't. My brain's gonna explode.


So what's the verdict?

[278CIKILLER]

The volt booster will light up everything when it comes on, lights,fuel pump, injectors, so i would think the coil and module will get to.
