Most Evo's run the HKS Dli-2. Its plug and play and works great.

msd makes a cop box... that requires you to make your own kit. the ignition amps seem to work fine and are plug and play capable.

We have 6 HKS DLI-II boxes in stock right now amazingly as they are almost always on backorder.

We also have completed our prototype coil on plug system on MSD DIS-2 H O box.

Should have a few roll out in just a little bit.

I have a couple of close friend sthat have HKS DLI II units on their car with great results, I have also read of other people getting a few extra WHP and tq with them.


The downside is the price on the HKS and the disponibility. I just got a couple of plug and play Hyper Sun units but now you can get others from XS engineering, AEM CDI 4 channel and also Buschur sells their own coil packs.

^ careful... the aem cdi is also a cop box it's not plug and play.

the sun hyper ignition, the hks dli ii, and the xs engineering iginition are the only ones that are plug and playable.

all others require you to source extra parts and put them together in the right way.

there is a thread comparing the hks and the sun unit. the two are very similar and the sun has a mounting point that is very convenient (so does the hks if you use an aftermarket intake).

the sun is cheaper with the harness.

Unit is proven on many high hp cars.

765whp ProccoEvo.

We use it to 540whp (est) on our stock turbo MR. 127.62mph traps.

Other various 600+whp Evos in Central FL.

Don't leave out the fact that you can run a 1g ignitor/transistor along with a 1g coil if you are able to change your ECU's coil dwell settings. You can build that setup for around 150 bucks and it will with stand alot of hp. It is what I have done and it works wonderfully, I actually like it better than the ignition amp setups for a few reasons but they both have pro's and cons.
