So Im trying to get my car running and the guy putting it in says the ignitor/cdi box is different from the BEAMS. I have the 5SFE one so is there a BEAMS specific ignitor/cdi box??? Im sooo close!

BEAMS = NO IGNITOR/CDI BOX

shame on that mechanic! Probably wants to charge extra for one....

Ill forgive him he's a 3SGTE guy so he knows very little about the NA MR2's.

Though I have another question. How many grounds are on the BEAMS 3 or 4? One on the tranny, one on the back of the motor, and the others?

Major one tranny to body,
Thin one next to it
Thin one next to inlet manifold belt side to body
Then 2 from side panels of engine lid to the body
Engine loom earths to inlet manifold 7 brown wires with the junction box next to the ECU
