ignition tweaks

heres a few things ive done to try to increase the ignition power and general performance in my datsun.
- Jaycar high energy ignition kit ($60)
- Lectran pulsar ignition($50-60)
- new plugs/leads($30-50)
- aftermarket high performance coil (free!)
1st I put in the new leads. no obvious changes. then new coil. started a bit easier (it made the starter motor spin a LOT faster - dont know if its bad or not) then inserted better sparkplugs and built the jaycar ignition system (its easier than u'd think to build) then installed it in-between the radiator and the lights. I noticed a definite increase in the cars ability to start, run normally and on long drives - more responsive accelerator. then i found this little device which basically makes the spark a lot fatter. much more than the coil or the elec ignition has done. the car now literally can be started with a single whisk of the key in the ignition, while applying the gas a little (or a lot depending on how hot/cold it is). also with this little Lectran toy the car does what all the above did and more. definitely more power, less bad exhaust emmisions, more fuel efficiency (havnt had it long enough to prove that one but the box says it does). it fires more of the petrol mixture in the cylinders due to its now massive spark.
so overall its now a lot better than it was. :)since its a stock 1200 it was worth it to see a difference without new injection or nething else. go the big little car. |

i found a guy at the swap meet in Richmond Sydney 15-2-04 demonstrating it with a V8.. with this Lectran thing the V8 engine could run on 2 cylinders without dying. i got cheaper price since it was the swap but normally its like 60$. the company is an old age couple (it seems) but they are honest and its a legit company. i faxed them my mates CC details and it was in my letter box the nxt day - express post.
cant complain

Electronic ignition is good ... it will fire a lean mixture better (drive a bit smoother if the carb isn't jetted spot-on) and put out a fraction better HP. Since the Hitachis are lean-jetted, electronic ignitiion is a good idea. If you are racing, it's even a better idea to ensure good burning at full-throttle high-rpm. The spark plugs last longer too. With the stock ignition you need to clean and gap them every 12 months. |
