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(Mueller @ Mar 18 2004, 10:08 PM) The Haltech I have (it belongs to Brad) uses the same basic method for the timming as your system does. It is an older system and it can only be used with the distributor...it couldn't have been that bad, the original mapping on my Haltech is for a twin-turbocharged 911 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) Oh, I didn't mean I dislike the three-magnet system. It works really well. So what are you working on these days for your own 914's powerplant? Are you going to run that Haltech in your 914 for a while? On a stock motor or something wild? -Ben M. |
