    I ascribe no magical properties to the Dynatech coils either!

    But matching the dwell settings to whatever coils you use is key to maximising performance from any ignition system. We have just added a section on doing exactly that into our Ignitech manual.

    I am a big fan of using low primary coil reistance/reactance coils where the ECU can handle them.

    I was discussing ths with Jan at Ignitech last year and he reckons the Ignitechs can easily handle 0.8 ohm coils.
    Finally got the chance to test with another brand of low impedance 0.8 ohm coils and got good performance gains right across the rev range which I attrubute to a much better spark.

    For the past few years we have given our unofficial Ignitech manual away for free to literally hundreds of Ignitech's customers and received terrific and very satisfying feed back.

    During this period we have constantly improved and expanded it to cover new features added to the units, tips, recommendations and explanations.

    We have just added more diagrams to it and more detailed advice on which spark plug leads and coils have proven to give the best results (We have done a huge amount of on road testing and testing with an ignition scope to determine which combinations deliver the best performance).

    A decision was made earlier this year to charge a small fee for the manual to cover this ongoing work, ($10).

    I hope everyone understands this is not a get rich quick proposition but a way I can encourage myself to continue the service.

    You can read some customer reviews on our manual here and in many of the forums.

    The manual can be ordered from our web site here.

    The manual will be emailed to you as a PDF.


    Many thanks

    Hello..
    I got a problem.

    Has enyone encountered bugs in ignitech?
    I got this simple system for 1cyl twostroke.(canīt remember name)

    My bug is:

    When adjusting base advance.
    I get this 'maximum' ignitionadvance value, letīs say i got maximun 58 degrees.
    then when powering off unit without adding any adjusting at all and powering back on
    I get a different value, say 60 degrees..

    Whatīs going on?

    Wob and Rob covered the base setting for the ignitech in the ESE thread.

    Just like to amend this earlier advice. We now prefer to use resistive plugs rather than resistive caps. We have discovered that the resistors built into the resistive caps periodically fail and cause intermittent issues.

    We have also extended our manual significantly for the TCIP4 units.

    Fast bike, do you have any information on the Ignitech IJ 12 1CH unit? I have one but know nothing about it? I do use the normal ignitech's in some of my bikes so know a bit about them. Ignitech don't seem to be interested in responding.

    Looking for new system.

    Hi Fastgear!!!!! I am currently racing a classic sidecar outfit in england. I am running a 1972 based 980 BMW boxer engine. At the moment I am using a Boyer Bransden Digital ignition system (their pick up's and coils) a total loss battery system (single spark heads). I have been looking at the Ignatech Web site and slightly at a loss as to what system I would require, cost and what comes with it. Any recommendations please? Would it be useful to purchase one of your manuals to get a better idea. My other choice is likely to be an MSD system, but likely to cost around Ģ600.
