Question for moderator
I plan to do a instalation for a friend,and whant to use a msd 6a ignition box here is my question,can I use an igniter to sen the signal to the white wire of the msd? I plan to use a toyota tacoma igniter becose I know it uses a 5v signal to fire 3 coils(I work for toyota) and send the coil- to fire the coils it that posible?

the other thing that came to my mind is using a Bosch BIP373 Coil Driver to send the signal to the msd because the msd uses the negative terminal of the coil to fire. and triger the driver from pad1 of the v3.57 what you think?

you can drive the msd directly from the - side of the led but i dont know if you can use the spark output invert with the rotaty engines.

ok I got it!!!I dont know why I dont think this before, is more easier to conect the stock coils from a turbo II with the shock igniters and conect the msd from the negative terminal of the coils to the white wire of the msd box to triger the msd unit

or if you want a clean look you can do the 2n2222 circuit if its prove that works and you dont have to use the t2 igniters.

Re the 2222 - it makes absolutely no difference logically if vcc(+) is constantly provided and the ground(-) is pulsed as opposed to constantly grounding the appropriate pin and pulsing the vcc(+). GIS these terms: NPN, PNP, source vs sink vs drain, pullup, pulldown. With a little creativity, careful deliberation and self education you'll be able to fully understand the concept of using a transistor as a high speed switch and be very comfortable with what you come up with. Yes, you can switch 12v with a logic level (5V) pulse.
