Daytona Sensors Ignition Install
 

Where have you guys mounted the ignition coil? I've ordered the CPPerfornance mount for the back of the Stbd head but was looking for some pictures of where you have mounted the coil.

I have the mount across the back of the engine that has the main wiring harness, start solenoid and breaker. Don't want to relocate that. I have some thoughts but wondered what you guys have done....

Same way I did the crane ...

So I bought this one from CP, but looking at yours I think I'll just have a small piece fabbed to go up and over the box and the coil can sit up top on a "shelf"

i mounted mine under the bracket

I think I still have the coil mounts if you need , I can look in my garage

i made mine. just gave the drawing to a metal shop with a plasma cutter. think they were about $20 a piece done in stainless. bolts to the bellhousing upper row of threads.

Very nice! What kind of power and speeds you running or are those recent upgrade pics. I really liked my saber! I didn't want a single 28 but the deal just kind of happened when I wasn't looking. Where is the one at that was an early 90's twin that was out of the grand haven area. I remember somebody got a killer deal on it.

I made a plate to mount the box vertically with the coil beside it

I mounted my box on the transom to reduce vibration and heat and the coil on a plate on the back of the starboard cylinder head. Both are on isolators.

640 dynoed hp. 557 cid. i gps at 92 . props and a low drive height dont help me.

i'm not sure which one you are talking about. i bought mine new in 1998

Still very respectable and awesome fun boat. I grew up just 2 miles from their old plant on alpine.

BTW OT a plasma cutter, band saw and drill press every great to have in your shop. I’m always making custom stuff for this that and whatever.

hijacking his thread but did you go to kenowa hills? i grew up behind the hanky panky party store by 4 mile and alpine.

I'm going to run by the local fabricator tomorrow and see if he could just Fab a quick piece that goes up and over. Kind of a Halo for it to sit on over the box....

Hopefully these work. $75 bucks from a local fab guy. He even cut the "cutouts" to match the Hardin piece.

QUESTION - I'm going to run a 2D map with a start retard value of maybe 8-10. What do I do with the manual input setting on the box? If I input "10" in the software do I just leave the manual setting at 0 or should I align them?

Also, the Mode setting on the ignition box should be set to 1 correct?

Very nice! I'd like a couple done up for my new installs.

Got it all hooked up today, but need to get some new Moroso terminals for the CDI side of the coil.

Always something. Was double checking timing before I hooked everything up and of course the relay craps out on me. Then two trips to Ace Hardware. Nothing is ever seemless, but getting closer.......

Welcome to my world, lol.
Great looking bracket though!

Alright so, confirming:

In general is appears when you upload from PC link it overrides all the manual settings, but I'm planning on doing this:

RPM - 60 (6,000) - I'll set the Rev limit to that in the software as well so that's aligned.
TIMING CURVE - set to 1 for fixed timing. The instructions say the PC upload will override this. Confirming this is the right setting
RETARD - this one is a little confusing, as the instructions don't spell out that the PC upload overrides the manual setting. Can someone confirm I just leave this on 0 and let the upload manage
MODE - set to 1 as per the instructions

12v Hot - I connected this directly to the Hot on the starter motor. Any issue here? Only thing that bothered me about doing that was that I believe my boat has an automatic parallel switch when you crank the motors.....

If you are able I would hook it directly to the battery. That's how I hooked up my Crane HI-6M's. Not hooking MSD's directly to the battery is one reason they fry. A battery is the best capacitance filter in your boat.
