Trailing wired backwards

All, What would happen if the trailing leads were wired backwards (i.e. - T1 is now T2 ). To temporairly fix the problem, I just swapped the plug wires at the plugs. The car actually ran with them setup wrong, does it make a difference? I appreciate all the help. THANKS!

Both trailing plugs fire at the same time so it will not matter.

T1 and T2 dont fire at the same time..they're two seperate channels, thats why theres 2 individual coils for the trailers.. T2 is in a different phase than T1, they cannot be swapped. your lucky you didnt blow your motor yet...

Sorry, I was in a big hurry on the way out the door when I fired off the previous answer... I realized it was wrong after I left

Leadings fire at the same time, trailings are controlled individually.

I guess I forgot to mention that Im running a Haltech E6k, in which the ignition is manually wired up. Then, it would be possible to have the Trailing signals 180 degress out of phase. I am just wondering if that would cause front and rear plates to crack? I've actually been through 3 rebuilds, but dont know if it was due to ignition problems or over boosting...did I mention that I had boost spike too, damm HKS standard wastegates!

ohh yeah, Since they seem to be wired up wrong, would swapping the plugs wires at the plugs work? I timed it and the yellow(L1) and red(T1) line up at the correct spots. I appreciate the help fellas.

"I've actually been through 3 rebuilds" Ouch, who set up the E6K? Did Excessive tune it like that? Carl

We had to stop during our tuning session at Xcessive because I had multiple issues. One, was BOOST SPIKE!
