But with the extra smart circuitry for the switch?

I even left the stock coil powered (it does fire since it isn't getting a signal). This way I can switch back to stock in probably less than 2 minutes.
They just expanded emission testing here in Ontario to include cars over 20 yrs old (you'll have to be tested every year when other cars are every 2nd year up to 20 yrs old, then exempt). Common sense tells me the car HAS to run cleaner with this setup.
Thanks

I will put the rest of you down on the interest list for a kit/assembled unit.

Just letting you guys know what's going on. I still have not heard back from Ryan yet regarding the Group Buy. He may have overlooked the message. I do hate to bother him as I am sure he is very busy. I will send him another message in a few days just in case he did not receive it.

Guys,
There is now a section in the Group Buy forum for testing interest in a Group Buy. I posted this one there.
https://www.rx7club.com/group-buy-center-69/sa-fb-ignition-upgrade-transistor-trick-486305/
Go ahead and add to it if you aren't on the list, but are interested. I will then send Ryan a message to approve the GB.
Thanks,
Kent

Just giving this thread a quick update. The listing for the assembled units is currently over. I can relist for another week if needed. The kit listing will finish in about 1 week. I am in the process of ordering the supplies. If you are interested and haven't contacted me, please do so. I am going to try to get enough supplies to have some extras. I am just trying to judge the amount to order. I don't want to have too few, because it would be awhile before I could do more of these.

OK...thanks. Also, I'm planning on putting this on my supercharged car...will that work ok? I currently have the distributor locked and no vacuum advance to avoid detonation.
Thanks,

Yep. That will work fine. You will have to reset timing after instal as the circuit/2nd gen ignitor when 1st installed retards timing by about 8*. TurboSE was one of the original testers and he used it on his turbo SE with good results. If you have any questions, let me know.

Update
The circuit boards themselves have been made. They are currently on the way here. They may be here tomorrow, but more likely next week sometime. I have received the components for the boards. I also have the ignitor connectors/terminals on order. Those were quite difficult to find. They should be here in about 1 week or 2. I now just need to decide on wire.
I am going to start sorting the parts out and get them ready for assembly. I'll keep you guys posted.

Not sure. I have enough supplies to do around 75 of these. Some will be in kit form and some will be assembled. They should go together pretty fast. I think the majority of the time for building will be connecting wires, drilling the holes in the box, and testing.
Thanks for having the site available. I may have some extras. If so, I will list them on your site in a normal sale type fashion instead of a GB.
