Is there a MSD Iginition System made for the 2.0L Tibs? I belive I had read something about them in this forum but I could be mistaken. Thanks all!

 

I beleive that it is the "DS-2" ignition.

 

What kind of performance gain is there with the DS-2?

 

Multiple Spark Dischage (MSD) makes an ignition controller for distibutorless cars. The model that is applicable to the Tiburon and Elantra is the MSD DIS-2.

Unfortunately, on a mostly stock car (even including bolt-on parts) the MSD does very little of anything for performance. It's mostly there for emissions, fuel efficiency and engine idle quality.

This isn't limited to Tiburons or Hyundais -- nearly every car, unless it comes with a crappy ignition system, gets almost ZERO from upgraded ignition until you start going crazy with upgrades. And by crazy I mean huge turbo kits, full-on-race-only NOS setups, normally aspirated motors on the bleeding edge of sanity, et al.

You *do* know that the 400HP all-wheel-drive Libra Rally Tiburons and Elantras use the 100% stock ignition system, right? If they don't need it, I'm betting you're ok to stick with stock too.

Thanks for the info. My aftermarket mods are pretty much all bolt-on so it wouldn't do me much good. If the rally Tibs are using the stock ignition system than I know stock is good for me, cause I am no where near the performace level they are in. Thanks for the info, asking questions definatly saved me some money this time.
