Does anyone have dyno numbers or know where to point me to for a comparison between the two different types of ignition??
Knowing that I can turn my regular distributor into a fully electronic programmable electronic ignition (okay, it'll still have the rotor which must distribute the spark) I was wondering what the crankfire has over the distributor ignition besides 0 moving parts that can wear out. for the distributor the path for the spark still needs to go from the coil>rotor>cap>sparkplug wire>sparkplug.... the crankfire is coil>sparkplug wire>sparkplug what effect does the rotor and cap have on ignition if everything is the same (advance curve and coil rating)???? |

QUOTE(tat2dphreak @ Mar 18 2004, 06:58 AM) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) great job airsix!!! how hard was this upgrade? tell me more!! I'd never really thought about distributorless ignition on the 914, but I'm intrigued now... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I'm running an aftermarket digital ECU. That's what made the project doable. To use crank-triggering for your ignition you need a digital controller to control the advance curve. If you are not planning on replacing the stock injection it's really more trouble than it's worth. However, if you are converting to Megasquirt(+ignition) or other digital ECU that can control the ignition, I'd go for it. -Ben M. |
