Do me a favor: define "spark over voltage" Then tell me it doesn't matter and it'll work to 16k rpms on anything.
Sounds like you would know what the inside if this thing has in it. Im not an electrical engineer. I know one that look at this for me, he said theres a TON of math that took to create this circuitry, I know that.
Hey, what if illumination of the spark itself messes with your spark over voltage thingy?
here is where the issue seems to be for me..it may be great for newer cars..(if it even does what you say or is even legit)..but for older cars i dont think it will do squat other then fuck shit up or as some one said burn some valves...
i dunno i rank this right up there with those tornado intake things among other stuff
doug reminds me of stainless. he buys those 10 electrode spark plugs and claims he gets 40mpg with them. he buys magnets for his fuel lines and swears the car runs better. he has one of those multi ground things too. I guess when youre stupid enough to invest in this shit you feel you have to justify it to everyone. My guess is dougys car has 70k on the timing belt and chorded bias ply tires but god damned hes got a sweet ignition
Hey, what if illumination of the spark itself messes with your spark over voltage thingy?
Illumination is not a quantitative result. You can't tell crap from it. Spark over voltage is simply "as cylinder pressures go up (like in the rev band) it takes more power to spark across the spark plug gap". Which you can't tell from a nice light show.
A jet Turbine engine has the same ignition basically.All that snap, snap snap are ignitors before the turbine fires up, like this.
Not even close you Idiot! Spark ignitors in a gas turbine aren't precisely timed like in a Reciprocating engine, they are capacitive discharge with vacuum tubes and capacitors but they trigger the spark randomly not when commanded.
Spark is spark,lol, that's why most people put AFTERMARKET systems on their cars. Love the mentality, please think before you respond.
MSD is in business for making weaker systems?,okay.???
Most people? Most idiots. Unless you are boosting the hell out of your engine and experience spark blowout you won't gain a thing by "upgrading" your ignition system
Also not using resistors on your spark plugs you run the risk of capacitive after firing occurring from the collapsing magnetic field around your plug wires inducing a voltage into the wire itself, especially if you run "110v" wire. OP you aren't actually suggesting you are going to use residential wiring to run your ignition are you?
