Title: ignition for 8 plugs
Post by: GetBackOnTrack on August 29, 2012, 17:51:48 pm
Hi..

What is the most easy/best way to handle 8 spark plugs in a type 4 engine? Is crank trigger a must? (engine is going to see high RPM)


Any input will be apreciated, its a new thing for me, dont know much about it.

Regards, Jakob

Crank trigger is fairly easy to do, and its not fussed how many plugs you have providing you have the right ECU and coils to do it... 1 cylinder or V12...

i'll say megasquirt as thats what i used but there are plently out there.

Hi Jakob,

there is an interesting thread in a german forum (maybe use a translater):

I guess the interesting part for you starts at the end of page 4.
