Re: Upgrade to PRW-2 Ign. Control Module (Power Transistor U
Started my car tonight after doing this mod. Immediately noticed that it idled better, especially from a cold start. Engine runs smoother and the throttle response does seem better. I can't report on drivability improvement yet, as the car is still on stands, but as far as I'm concerned, this mod gets an A+.Tinker Toy Equipped

Lol, have you raced anything? Because mine felt pretty quick, then I ran a few of my buddies cars and ended up being disappointed by a few and suprised by others. The numbers are sometimes irrelevant.Tinker Toy Equipped

Just finished this and the car does seem a bit smoother and responsive. The real test will be how it starts tomorrow morning.
Thanks for the write up and info. Yes I am aware how filthy my engine bay is!

Re: Upgrade to PRW-2 Ign. Control Module (Power Transistor U
I'm doing this mod this week. Sounds like such a great improvement for a little work! Subbing to remind myself of the part, lol.
Edit: My local JY has quite a few of these. If anyway one wants one, pm me and I'll see what I can do.

I've got a couple lying around if you haven't gotten one from a JY yet.

Re: Upgrade to PRW-2 Ign. Control Module (Power Transistor U
Completed this mod today. Not a drastic change but overall everything feels better. It certainly idles better and seems to pull smoother on the runs. Again, not a drastic change but certainly work the 10 dollars and half hour of time I put into it!

Re: Upgrade to PRW-2 Ign. Control Module (Power Transistor U
I'm finally getting around to working on the Z's engine, this is now on the list!
I'm also wondering what kind of engine Dave is running....

Today she sat pretty consistently at 8k. So is it making a difference? I don't know yet. But for the $16 I paid for the part its not like I'm worried about it. I also filled up today so we will see if it makes a difference in the MPGs as well. -

Re: Upgrade to PRW-2 Ign. Control Module (Power Transistor U
I wanted to post this pic here for reference. I mounted my PRW-2 module on the coil pack. Bored out the holes on the transistor a little to fit 10mm bolts; otherwise, pretty easy. Ignore the homemade MBC; it's gone now.
