how to bypass the distributor

Is there any way to bypass the distributor on my civic.
I am trying to build a boosted setup and was wondering if there is anything out there that I can use.
I want to pretty use some coil on the car (like the dsm) without going AEM , let me know.

thanx

why the hell would you want to bypass the distributor?

What a stupid idea. OEM Honda Ignition is good up to and probably above the 300whp mark.

i've seen distributorless ignition systems on hondas before, hell the newer civics have coil-on-plug already. But i believe you'll need to run AEM EMS to control the coil packs.
I, personally, think honda should have come out with the coil-on-plug setup way before they did, honda dizzys are crap IMO....but sufficient enough to run well over 300-350whp with just a plain old stock dizzy.

i heave to agree w u zeeman abt that honda should have come out w the coil-on-plug beofre the other cars did would have been a great thing if they did but at least they came out w VTEC beofre any1 else did lol

MSD external coil is pretty good
