hey mahjik,you wouldnt happen to have a link to the dyno sheets with the hks twin power on there now would you? I searched but found nothing.

If you are looking for a "before and after" set of dyno sheets with/without the HKS Twin Pak, I've never seen anything like that posted. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist though...

Here's a page of FD dynos:

twin power, not twin pak

Also you may want to look at the B&M New Volt basically the same thing but quite a bit cheaper if I remember correctly. I have it on my car and it's very nice.

While I didn't notice a huge difference, it really made a difference from about 5800 RPM and up. Before, my car would kinda' fall on its face but now it pulls all the way. FYI, I'm running about 14 PSI too. I still consider it worth the money.

Oh yeah, install took all of 5 minutes. That is the fastest any of my mods hooked up.

Stay tuned. I plan on installing the HKS Twin Power Ignition @ the Rx7 Store. I will have a base dyno pull before, and fine-tuned dyno plot after the HKS Twin Power is installed.

If I forget to post the dyno, someone PM me, and remind me.

I've found that with upgraded leading coils and the HKS twinpower, I don't have ignition break up at high rpms anymore.

Yes, these are the symptoms my car has @14.5 psi. Jason (Rx7 Store) recommended I get a Twin Power. He thinks 10 hp is available with better ignition. We'll see :)

Post the dyno when you get it...that would be nice to see.

I've read the stock FD ignition coils are pretty good?

True, there should be no need for any other type of coil.
While some may give you a hotter spark they just don't seem to have the longevity of the stockers.

Strange...I know of a few FD owners who burnt out their stock coils.

Probably using the Jacobs Pro Pak or other type ignition amp that are known to fry coils. Do you know what type amps they were using?

i just installed my twin power last weekend it made a huge difference in the way my car feels. probably didn't add much power, but it is smoother and comes in a lot quicker. midrange is definately where you feel it, and it seems like it just keeps pulling harder up top

Come to think of it, they were using the Jacobs unit. The jacobs unit with aftermarket coils works even better than the twinpower/coils setup I'm using. I know of a good friend of mine who was tuned(not intentionally) low 10's and into the 9's a/f and he had no ignition break up...it sparked that good.

I installed my friends for the trip to seven stock last year. I didn't really notice a difference in anything. I don't have ign. break up symptoms like most of you guys though. Not worth the $$$$ in my opinion.

I didn't notice it when I was running 10 psi, but when I went higher(19 psi~) it was an obvious difference in performance.

It's a problem @ high boost levels with rich AFRs...If you're running stock boost with few mods, then an ignition amp isn't needed...

It was worth it for me. As soona as I switched from my main cat to hi-flow cat I was noticing misfire sometimes as low as 11psi if it was really cold out. I ran 15psi with the stock cat with no problems. The HKS unit cured my misses.

SleepR1 has a good point with the high boost and high AFR as I have a Pettit Unlimited chip and it dumps everything out at top end.

I was scheduled to re-dyno this past friday at KDR to see if there was a hp increase but the weather forbid it. As soon as the roads clear, I'll be going back and then I will post my numbers.

I have before and after, with the only change being the HKS ignition added. If I could get David (glassman) to host it again, I'll scan it in and e-mail it to him.

my car made 15 more rwhp at 16 psi and same tuning after we through the hks twin power in. Im very happy with the results, and it allowed me to go up to a higher boost.

Very impressive. Same dyno same day?
