2 step on 2nd gen (need opinions)

hay guys, well i want to put a 2 step on my tii. im thinking of going with using an msd 6al and the msd 2 step. i was also looking at the msd 6al2 with built in 2 step but i cant find any write ups for using it on a rotary.

what setup do you guys think i should use? btw before you ask why i want 2 step, i dont have any reason to do anything to my car, i just want it.

thanks

why would it kill the motor? unless something was set or done wrong it shouldnt really hurt it. are you sure you had it set right to kill the waste spark too?

Yes it was, a haltech kills both the fluctuation of rpm is very bad for the motor hence why alot of race teams will run no limiter or be very very careful I wouldn't care on a race motor but a street motor never

my 2 step on my FC works fine. with my megasquirt it retards timing above a certain point and cuts spark for the hard limiter

check out the bee-r 2 step too

I use a 6al with msd 2 step on my stock turbo, motor, ecu, ect...

Works awesome and i have never had a problem with it.

Tip: set it to a swith or button, not the clutch pedal. You don't want it to activate when you shift...

im going to use a small momentary button from an old pc and put it on the back of the steering wheel.

i ordered a bee*r rev limiter. just seems like much less work. i might go to the msd eventualy. and then put the bee*r on my na just to make it more obnoxtious lol.
