Installation of Coil By Following Nissanfanatic's Idea Turns Out To Be A Success

[Jookmasta]

so last nite, i Finally got my new msd blaster ss coil installed and i followed nissanfanatic's (Cory) directions on the thread posted about two weeks ago. His directions were good enough for me but I ended up writing down my own set of directions so here goes:

Step One: Disconnect the battery so that you dont die. lol

Step Two: Solder on a crimper onto 12 gauge wire (wire #1) coming from battery

Step Three: Solder on fuse holder onto 12 gauge wire (wire #1) coming from battery (so try to put this close to the battery............i could have put mine closer)

Step Four: Run this 12 gauge wire (wire #1) to terminal 30 on the relay and then solder on crimper onto the end of this wire (wire #1) so that it can connect with terminal 30

Step Five: Cut black and red wire from stock coil plug and solder a red 12 gauge wire (wire #2) to it. Extend this wire and run this to terminal 85 on the relay. Solder on crimper to this wire (wire #2) so that it can connect with terminal 85.

Step Six: Cut Green and Black wire from stock coil plug and solder a black 12 gauge wire (wire #3) to it. Extend this wire (wire #3) to the negative side of your msd blaster ss coil and solder a crimper to the end of this wire (wire #3). Connect this wire to negative terminal of the msd blaster ss coil.

Step Seven: Take a new 12 gauge red wire (wire #4) and solder a crimper onto one end of it. Then connect this to terminal 87. Then take the other end of this wire (wire #4) and solder another crimper onto it. Connect this to the positive side of the new msd blaster ss coil.

Step Eight: Take a new piece of 12 gauge black wire (wire #5) and solder a crimper onto one end of it. Then connect this to terminal 86. Then take the other end of this wire (wire #5) and solder another crimper onto it. Connect this to a bolt on the chassis as this is the ground for the relay.

Step Nine: Reconnect battery along with new found wire (wire #1) and start her up!

I personally can say that from moving from a stock coil to this one and by having it installed this way, my car feels alot sharper and a tad bit more responsive. I am still using stock wires BTW so im sure that when i change my wires to larger ones, i should really feel a difference. The car does start up alot quicker and i have seen some improvement (i think) in gas mileage. The gas mileage comment will be backed up after i fill up again and see if it was just a good tank of gas that just happened to b there. Pics will be up soon.

Great write up, I've been looking for something like that. Now I have a question, how much of that is necessary if I'm planning on getting the MSD 6A system along with it?

well the msd coil will obviously complement the msd box. i can say that with those two things, u shouldnt be running out of spark for a very very very long time. not to mention, that with that combination, the gap of your spark plug will no longer matter due the kind of spark u will be producing.

Its also on the KA-T.org tech page.

Thanks Andre! Glad it worked out well for you!

got NGK iridium plugs too

I figure as long as Im running rich, I might as well take advantage of it lol
