ok, it seems that I am having nothing but problems with my MSD system on the CRX. What do you guys think, should i try and get it tuned in better on the car or pull it out and go back to stock ignition system?

Installed a MSD 6AL and SS blaster coil on an Integra w/ no problems. Are you sure you have everything wired up properly. Trickest part of the install was removing the stock coil under the cap and wiring it up to the MSD coil.

Put it back to stock. Use good plugs and wires and make sure your car is properly grounded (check the main ground straps).

I have the msd sci box and blaster coil in my wifes car. No problems just had to replace a worn cap and rotor.
btw…DSM Ignition ftw evo guys switch to them and have made 925+whp on stock dsm coils.

Randomly throwing hp #'s out is pointless unless you list the complete setup. Its not like the lack / presence of an MSD made or broke the 925+ barrier or anything. Anyone can make 900+ if the turbo is big enough. At that point its the whole system, not just the ignition system
