twin plug ignition

greg · Post by **greg** » Fri May 05, 2006 5:48 pm

Dstar, I looked and looked and could only find a 8 plug ignition for the Ford Ranger, but it was only DIS. As for the Mazada 626 nothing. Do you have any idea what Bosch series it was (Ex: 009,010)?As for the Mercedes my search results are just as bad. If you start to remember any of the info please hit me up. Thanks man, and thanks to everybody else for sharing what info they have with me.

Jake, if you could please, I haven't given up on the Nissan Z22/24 dizzy modification, and I took a couple of new pics if you need them, so please get back to me at your leasure. Thanks -Greg

greg,

If you look on the Road Racing forum on this site; under 'Greg Wards pictures' you will see the dual plug setup he is running. You could ask him some questions how he made his. Just thought you might like another link and person that runs duals on his car.

Thanks for the tip Kelly, I recently found the dizzy i will be using, one from a Z22 Nissan. The thing drops right in and I will only need to have the VW drive attached. The best thing is that not only does it fire 8 plugs, it runs off of two coils. The only issue I am pondering right now is that this Z22 dizzy normally spins oposite of a VW. Although I don't think it will be a problem I'm gonna ask around for sure. Kelly, are you looking to do this mod or are you just trying to help a brotha out? -Greg

The reverse operation is the issue I was talking about... The advance mechanism will not operate in reverse rotation.

Kelly is getting twin plugs in his 2.9L with direct ignition...

Will a trigger like this be beneficial for a smaller engine as well?

I have sen a 10% power gain at MINIMUM from direct ignition on engins as small as 2056cc.

Geezus! I wonder what that will do to the 2270 I have. I know eventually I need to optimize it, rather than just slapping more things to it. I definitely want to get the EFI running on it, and better ignition will be sweet.

Jake, so what can I do to correct the problem of the advance not working in reverse? Do I have to just lock it in place and not run the vacume diaphram? You said you have ran this dizzy before so there has to be a way to make it work. Bye the way the dizzy I have is the one with a 3-wire connector, is that the right one? Thanks for the input guys. -Greg

Is the advance plate setup such that you can just flip it upside down? just curious.

I almost wet myself the first time I read your post. I thought you said direct injection.

Of all the things I have lost I miss my mind the most.

Good idea, I'll check it out tonight.

how about using an 8 cylinder EDIS system? Of coarse I have no idea what in the hell I am talking about, just shooting ideas.

Post by **Piledriver** » Wed May 17, 2006 6:49 pm

You could just use a "normal" EDIS setup, but you would want 4 external coil drivers---like the Bosch ones... 1 coil per cyl, 2 plugs.
Those only need a trigger, do their own dwell etc.

(Might be able to get by with 2 drivers, as GM DIS coils (at least) work best at ~1/2 the current of a std coil, ~3.5-4A)

Just trigger the driver(s) in pairs if you have 4, or alternate with 2.

Oh, I know!

Quite the interesting mechanism.

Twin pluggage.

And besides the 90 degree deal I found this interesting cam powered dizzy setup.

Must be a different model or something.

But most are of the belt run (reliable?) type.
