CDI Ignition Systems

[turbotoaster]

ill be getting this full setup at the end of the month, cant wait!

Did you take any photos of how you installed it, location etc?

cool i just ordered a set of Dynatek DC12-1 Coils Single post .5 ohm.. should be here in a week but i would like to know if there is a wire diagram for the ARC-2 that somebody could post up on how it gets connected i never recieved it with my unit so im a bit lost on that end of hooking it up..

another thing i need to kno can i run this setup with out water injection for the mean time with out any problems
thanks again

you dont need to run a water injection setup to use the ignition system, but you will have to be careful how much boost you run because of preignition problems if your fuel octane isnt high enough.

I have the PDF installation file on my pc that dynatek sent me, send them an email for it

[up&coming]

will ask them for it now, and thanks for the responce

wow there fast. i already recieved it

Hey I just installed the arc and dc12-1 coils I just am a little confused on how to bridge the ignition signals from the microtech threw the arc to the two coils and what\'s the settings used on the front of the arc?I\'m just alittle nervous on burning something up..

Hey there,
 
what microtech you running??? with my LT10s i have spliced the arc2 triggers into the leading wires between the ecu and x4 box. I found that totally cutting between ecu and x4 the car wouldnt run properly.
 
I am also running mine as per below - you could run the multi strike if you want but i think it may play abit with your timing as its a multi spark over single
 

 
Where have you got yours mounted and do you have any buzzing coming from it when its running and rev\'d??

I have the lt8s with no x4 boxes. There\'s one leading signal coming from the lt8s and I have it going to the blue/black wire to the arc then there a blue running out to the coils but I slit the into two wires then running to the positive on the coils. This way I have it the car wont turn over so I thinking my way connected isn\'t rite

I would say you need to split the wire from the LT8s that goes out to your coils and wire this to the input of the ARC2 and then run the 12v and trigger from the ARC2 out to your coils.

ok so theres two grounds coming from the arc, i ran them out to the coils and theres only one orange 12v should i split this off to the coils to? i thought that 12v was to go to a key switch to turn the arc on and off?
the coils only have 2 post and i pluged the arc trigger and grounds to them should i plase the 12v.
another thing my harness isnt pinned like the one dynatek is showing in the wireing blueprint. pin14) White/Black Coil 2 Signal from ECU in there pic but on my harness pin15)houses this wire. i may have to repin the hearness to follow there pin layout.
thanks again

If your using a Dynatek harness the pins should be sorted..
 
Orange wire is 12v ignition
Black is 12v for the coil
white with trace i think it is - signal to coil
 
The orange wire into the ARC is the 12v supply to the coils

im going to take a picture of how i had it wired up. i couldnt get anything with them connected. maby theres something im missing or i was sold a beat box..im woundering if i need to use ignitors with the dc12-1 coils..

 were there any changes made to the microtech ignition maps for you to get it poped over

[12at]

No changes to the maps at all.

Get those pics up so I can take a look

[up&coming]

k i took everything apart i will try it again tonight the way your saying and see if she pops over..

im getting a feeling this wont work unless the signal is coming from a x4 direct fire setup..thinking maby the wasted spark is firing to fast for the dynateck to get %100 of signal..
