Ignition system

[Punisha00]

I know this probably should be in technical but I want to know what ignition system people are using on the turbo engines,
so could everyone comment with their sort of setup,
what engine your using,
what power your putting down,
what your redline is and,
If you have had any problems
Thanks in advance.

stock ignition
b16a - 171kwatw

Redline is 8k

had problem with old one had issues, but was due to wear and tear. I'd recommend to get a new distributor from the states worth the piece of mind

F22B1
216kwatw
7200rpm
Stock ignition - Gapped plugs to 0.70mm
No Problems

Also FYI, people in US hits 500hp+ with stock ignition but with lower plug gap.

yeah stock is good but i wish i had the cash to go CDI, and get abit more power out of the car

[Punisha00]

so if money was no object what is the best ignition setup for a high revving turbo b16?

[Limbo]

if your ECU is able to 4 direct coil + CDI

see below link he's running 4 coils but no CDI. The CDI can give a bigger spark yet again

[B16]

B16a
147kw atw (8psi)
8200rpm redline
No probs
one step cooler plugs (than std) gapped to .7

As Limbo has said, if you had an ecu with 4 igntion outputs, a 4 channel cdi with a plug on coil system is the most powerful option, depending on your application, a single channel through the stock distributor do work well.

thanx for the post guys, and thanks for the link limbo. I'm looking into the AEM system, looks like a winner

using a motec cdi and a crane external coil
b18c2 17psi, 245kw atw.
plugs gapped at 0.7 using heat range 8 plugs
approx 8500rpm redline

stock egnition is very good for low to med boost say 5-15psi. the internal coil can be a weak point but nothing a msd blaster coil and cap mod can't fix. I run stock ignition,ngk bkr8es gaped to .032"or.8mm ngk leads run 12psi and get 220wkw in my b16 turbo with 84mm bore
