Plug and play Coil On plug upgrade - would this interest you?

[jambo_gtir]

it would be good to meet up some time and I will bring my bits up and you can have a look. Be really good to get it wired up to a car on the rollers with some load. I have only tried it reving the engine to 6k with no load. I will be bringing my car to you in a few months anyway as I plan to get Nistune and you to map it If I get my processor a bit more ready in this time I can bring it all with me and see if it's of any use. The only things I need is an optical sensor bolted to block with a plate on the crank pulley (so the processor can see when TDC occurs). Everything else I have.

How far of a complete system are you? Put me down as interested in one in the future

I'd be interested in this if it was totally plug and play with the factory computer and hardware.

 

[Fusion Ed]

Will work with all factory. I hope to have my R running in it as soon as some plugs for the coils arrive.

 

[Fusion Ed]

Plugs have arrived and I've made a test loom:

Running may only be a matter of days away I hope!

 

[jambo_gtir]

So the signal from the ECU is only for one coil, everytime it wants to fire it pulls the primary coil low (which then causes the secondary to try and keep the current flowing and thus the voltage shoots up)..... are you designing some circuit that will interface one signal to 4 then?

 

[Fusion Ed]

Yes, I've already done that. The OEM coil and igniter will no longer be needed nor will the top half of distributor!

looks very good, whos lucky car is the test piece?

 

[red reading]

Ed's car for the whole system as ed own's a gtir.

 

[bensmith907]

fair one. if I had read the thread properly I would have known that anyway. sorry! Interesting work, hope it takes off!

 

[Fusion Ed]

I'm playing on this now... May have an update later...

 

[pulsarmoley]

Would this be benificial for people such as myself running a lesser powered R?

 

[Fusion Ed]

Well, should be more reliable in theory, and wont require any servicing other than new sparkplugs etc.

 

[pulsarmoley]

Ah ok, must get round to finishing my car so i can book it in for a remap...

 

[jambo_gtir]

look forward to see the results

 

[jambo_gtir]

Any progress on this mate?

 

[Fusion Ed]

Been finishing the program code for the fail safe and sync checks. Workshop is very busy this week and next so not had any time to do final testing before trial fitting. Its not far away though

 

[jambo_gtir]

Cool, hope it all works mate

 

[Lynx]

Man I'm pumped for this.
