    Standalone ECU Adaptronic ECU

    Use a MOSFET on the PWM output to give you higher drive current. They work on the ground side of the load (load is connect to +12V).

    Phantom Ignition Miss... found?

    Press, should get it straight enough if you have the right diameter plates to put over the top on it. Otherwise a new one is going to be the easiest.

    Does Size Matter?

    Measuring the turns ratio of the coils is quite easy to do. Any electronics tech should be able to do it for you. Coils used in an inductive system produce more heat then those used in CDI, it is another factor you need to be aware of. In an inductive system COPs tend to be small because they...

    Phantom Ignition Miss... found?

    Correct the trigger disk so it runs true. Then you will know. The sensor will produce a lower signal if the trigger isn't central on the sensor.

    How far can our ignition systems go?

    A few years ago I was contracted to Denso for F1 (We had a flame measurement system they wished to use) they ran this system, whilst its not CDI, its also not what you would call inductive. Due to IP I am not allowed to disclose any specifics about the exact coils/discharging invloved but it is...

    How far can our ignition systems go?

    Justen, (other information included for people who may not be familiar with CDI or Autronic) For your engine I would be going wasted spark CDI. 1) You already have the ECU to do it (the SM2 or were you buying another one) 2) For your application there is no disadvantage (John will be pleased...

    How far can our ignition systems go?

    There are many good brands out there which can meet your needs, depending on what they are. Pectel, EFI technology, Motec, Autronic, M & W.

    How far can our ignition systems go?

    Zuffen, If cost isn't a problem then CDI all the way. Full 8 channel Then 4 channel wasted spark CDI Then 4 channel, 8 Coils with built in ignitors (inductive) Then 2 channel stock system in good condition. Of course a stock system in good order would probably run 15psi. But you may go through...

    How far can our ignition systems go?

    The LS1 coils are a known entity, you will find many pages about their performance and various tests by googling them. The stock system is quite capable if its in good condition. Because it has many parts its quite rare to have one working 100% (especially on a 1uzfe which could be 18 years...

    Toyota Connectors - Whose are they?

    They are normally made by Tyco/AMP. Most of them are special order for the housings so they can't be ordered through the normal chanells. You will get something which looks vert similar but the internal keying etc will be different. The pins/sockets themselves can be bought if you can find the...

    Cold Injector Flow Rate

    I wouldn't recommend using the cold start injector as a proper injector or any other form of injector at all. It has poor spraying control and pattern. Long term use would probably burn it up as well. Its only job is to dump "some" fuel in at startup.

    "Coil on plug" coils for 1UZFE

    The mercury coils would be good if the ferrite wasn't so damm fragile, even foam mounted was no good. Hmm packaging, what a pain it makes life. Smaller, well that could be a problem. Any of the yamaha, suzuki outboard are generally reliable coils. Pretty sure they are mostly mitsubishi made...

    "Coil on plug" coils for 1UZFE

    Well i'm from the quantum mechanics (gravity waves) side so its currently quantum for me. However i'm more in it from the engineering side, once we have the data of that first 100ms or so i'll make a decision. Yeah its a shame they didn't have today's machining abilities, it would have been...

    "Coil on plug" coils for 1UZFE

    Erol, I believe that is the attitude now. However only two years ago when I was visiting several (who shall remain un-named for obvious reasons) workshops there tuning was horendous!! And I do mean they wouldn't spend $1 on tuning. I've seen it many times. Ask the guys at EFI technology how long...

    "Coil on plug" coils for 1UZFE

    John, 1) Your concern for misfires is astounding. Fix the cause of the fuel rather than blame its ignition source. If I follow your point correctly we should get rid of hot exhaust valves and hot exhuast systems. That will cure the misfire. 2) Professional/race engine builders knowledge of...
