using a solid state relay on a twin outlet coil.

hmm link doesnt work because the shortened part is staying shortened if you know what I mean

Hi,

well I have a sneaky way of getting a signal on when to fire which I prefer not to share.

ok can someone translate that for me

wouldnt it be easier to relocate the dizzy to drive off the front of the motor like ive seen the japs do a lot of the time..

i no you can get an electronic sequence switch but im not sure how it would know when to switch which channel.. as in it wouldnt be getting a tdc 1 reference

basically no, I have done it and there are some machining issues with it

Given what you have said I can only assume that you want to 'gate' off the injector pulse signal....

awesome thanks

I did build and had working in individual sections what your trying to do a few years ago in anticipation of my 3sgte having spark issues as I wound the boost up, but I never put it on the car as it never ran into ignition dramas with the dizzy..

The only way I can see it working properly involves a far bit of electronics, which I can probably help with if a number of people would need it.

If you are planning on using the injector pulse to sync up the coils keep in mind it may become unusable at 100% injector duty cycle, during decell cutoff down hills, during cranking and transient throttle when most ecus group fire. The only decent sync pulse I know of comes from the CAS and being reluctor will need some electronics to get the signal to a reliable trigger.


Commercial style ignitors would be your best bet. They are basically just a transistor which is ok by itself (ie RB30's use just a transistor) but proper ignitors or ignition drivers have other bits added like current limiting and are designed to handle the spike at turn off better which can't just be suppressed using a diode as its this spike which is induced into the secondary winding of the coil to actually make the high voltage for the spark plug

[wilbo666]

Sounds like a project that needs a really small microcontroller

Once you pickup the sequence as long as you keep track of the spark and don't miss a pulse then the injector signal is just a backup

My thoughts.
