Ignition on a 13B

[Grant Monkhouse]

yes correct if you go above a certain power I see this, but really an upgraded ignition system even with WI only seems to be needed over a certain power, and in my view that tends to happen around 500rwhp

Does this mean you are nearly there blitz? As you mentioned that you were going to be turning your WI back on?

I would be well and truly Impressed if you have.

[Grant Monkhouse]

Never mind, you managed to post the answer before my question.

[Grant Monkhouse]

This question is off topic but is there anyone else apart from chris impey that is inning semi pp\'s?

Forgot that. Talk to Tim @ rxmotors grant, Sure he will tell u why and what he gained by running 2, might help might not.

yeah putting the tank and pump back in next weekend then redoing the wiring for it so then remapping in the first week of August, it would have been sooner but need to get my triathlon training and the event out the way first as thats eating my time.

I may just do that. Thanks.

It would be so much better if rxmotors, Hayward rotary, dragon, WGT, and the old one came on here and helped with people\'s questions.

I know they are all busy but once a week for tech posts would be quality.

Very cool. I take it you run aquamist kit?

Tim is mental he will try any heath robinson contraptions wiring two twin sparks LOL, i will ask him about it at the next drag round.
They are on Link ECU on the Impey\'s drag car now, and just purchased some expensive ignition system to ignite the high volume of meth they are running

[Grant Monkhouse]

Very good. Are they just going to run straight on methanol or does the class rules not allow it?

I\'m sure either that supra or skyline runs just on methanol though?

That wont happen, Rxmotors (does not post on here for his own personal reasons), Hayward (he posts but I have yet to see proof of him making a high powered rotary that has broken into 10s or recorded high terminals on the strip, so he needs to prove himself in my eyes in regards to outright power IMO),
Dragon (suspended), oldone (banned) , Pip (never ever seen him post on a forum, too busy I imagine)

The Pro class you can run any fuel, they all run straight meth now.

You forgot Uncle Era, Mark. Ohhh, yes. Banned, then :rollin

I dunno why people try to find esoteric (and fearsomely expensive) solutions to FD ignition when as you\'ve already said, good stock equipment and a twin power are plenty for 99% of applications. I found this out kinda the hard way. What did my car lose when we uplugged the twin power? Something like sixty horsepower, wasn\'t it? Mind you, I think it was down to one rotor by then :rollin

EDIT, sorry, just saw the "old one" lurking in there amidst you review of Mr Haywards\' achievements :o Still, we don\'t need any of them, Rice Racing KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYTHING and if he doesn\'t he\'ll SHOUT until we\'re all convinced he does

[Grant Monkhouse]

60 ho down and on one rotor?!

Wow nik, that\'s like 120hp for 2 rotors, your engine must be beast. Lol.

Didn\'t realise so many were banned.

10\'s is my quest for the rx4 but iv got a lot to learn, not just engine wise but car setup, driving and so on.

Not only will attaining a 10 for me be a hard challenge but seen as the car is 35 years old now it will also be a bigger challenge. And without tubbing it too.

No, I mean the other rotor had already blown up by then. We unplugged the Twin Power out of morbid curiosity to see what would happen. It dropped the power output of the one rotor still going by 60, not to 60 :rollin.

It\'s the perversity of rotaries, they\'re so fragile in many ways, but I tell you, I was so unbelievably angry that night I drove home like 50 miles and never dropped below the speed limit once. On one rotor, bless her :InLove If I\'d been on a private road, I\'d say I\'d probably have got her up to three figures :o....
