Hey guys... After all that discussion about MSD... I have been looking at a Jacobs Ignition setup... Is anyone using it on their 12A? Can you give some feedback? It supposed to be the setup for Rotary engines... Yes/No Maybe so?


Thoughts?

 

See if this helps.

From the looks of it, it's not worth it. A lot suggest going to the 2nd Gen setup.

 

you can to rx7 performance's website and ask there also bc he sells them on his site

Is jacobs similar to the dlidfi system featured at http://www.geocities.com/cd23c/dlidfis.html ??
The dlidfi system seems to be the best way to go for a rotary but read the article and judge for yourself.
I have a j-port 12a wich is running the dlidfi system and i couldnt fault it in any way. Its not really a jump in power but it simply starts and runs much better/smoother especially at high revs. You will also notice a slight change in tone which sounds pretty cool but the only down side (if you can call it a downside) is that i dont blow hardly as much flames as i used to simply because its combusting much better in the motor.
I guess it really comes to how you drive your rx-7 and what you want out of it.
