THE 10 MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT ELECTROMOTIVE PRODUCTS
-
- How much horsepower will I gain from your system?
- 7% and higher, depending on the application.
-
- Do you have a unit for my vehicle/engine?
- We have systems for all vehicles with spark ignited engines.
-
- How hard is it to install and how long will it take?
- The units that use our Bolt-On trigger wheel are easy to install
by yourself. Otherwise a machine shop may be needed to bore the trigger
wheel holes for installation.
- Installation, for the first time, may take one weekend .
-
- Is it Multi-Port or Throttle Body fuel injection?
- Either fueling types are available.
-
- Will I get better fuel economy?
- Yes, if the vehicle is calibrated correctly.
-
- How much spark voltage/energy does it have?
- Up to 70,000 volts and energy of 120mJ (milliJoules).
-
- How does it eliminate the distributor?
- It has multi coils which allow each spark plug to be fired directly
from the coil towers instead of through a mechanical distributor.
-
- Will the waste spark damage my engine?
- No, the coil fires a plug on the compression stroke and a plug on
the exhaust stroke. This fired on the exhaust is called waste spark
and has no effect at all on the engine.
-
- Is this system reliable and is help available?
- Yes, with a decade of experience, it is guaranteed to run without
failure, period. All cars made world wide are going to this.
- Yes, technicians are available M-F 8:30-5:00 est.
-
- Why is it better than brand X?
- It puts out more energy at the right advance angle and continues
to perform at higher RPM's; thereby, giving increased overall performance
at all times.
- How does it compare to a CD Ignition (Capatitor Discharge)?
According to the BOSCH automotive handbook 3rd edition...
Page 460... "The major advantage of the CDI is that it generally
remains impervious to electrical shunts in the high voltage ignition
circuit, especially those due to spark-plug contamination. For many
applications the spark duration of 0.1 ... 0.3 ms is too brief to ensure
that the air-fuel mixture will ignite reliably. Thus CDI is only designed
for specific types of engine, and today its use is restricted to a few
applications only, as transistorized ignition systems have virtually
the same performance. CDI is not suited for aftermarket installations."
