A prototype was displayed at this year's Tokyo Auto Salon, but I guess they decided to actualy release it.
It doesn't work with the stock ECU, though.

Changing the plugs looks like a nightmare.

 

I assume "independent ignition settings" is another way of saying "direct fire ignition".

At north of $1500 it's a pricey option versus any number of IGN-1A solutions of various configurations. And they stick out quite a ways. Gonna be a tight squeeze against the strut tower, especially with an oil line in there coming off the pedestal. And require full ignition system removal just to change even a single plug.

 

I think you're referring to the last part, which essentially says it requires an "ECU capable of being configured for direct-fire ignition*."

*or any one of its many synonoms

I assume LHD owners won't even think about this option.

 

HKS is late to the game on this one. Folks have been building R35 coil on plug mounts for awhile. They're just not that commonly used.

Ignoring shipping and tariffs, that's cheaper than the HKS kit, but I suspest the market price will be quite a bit lower than 200,000 yen.

 

HKS makes some interesting claims, https://www.hks-power.co.jp/en/produ...onics/db/36881

 

If you were happy to run zero split you could still use factory engine loom and run just from the trailing trigger signals if using a plug in ecu.


Doesn't really look any different to kits that have been available in Australia for about a decade?

 

it does, i see places where you could put knock sensors, do people run them with this kit still?

 

I can't imagine the benefit of this (or similar) setup is worth the hassle in changing or checking plugs

 

the coil is held with a 6mm bolt, so you pull that pull the coil, and then you'd need an extension to pull a plug.

 

My assumption is that you just pull all four coils by removing the two bigger bolts.

 

I'd be interested in this ignition system if it works like they claim (which seems ludicrous, given the numbers in those charts) - no idea if it would work with my A'PEXi Power FC, though.

 

I wonder whether those numbers are compared to (potentially 30 years) old or new stock coils.
It's not surprising that there is some benefit to better ignition.

 

There hace definitely been knock sensor tabs on kits for a while.

 

It actually started me on a search through spark plugs... my ignition system might be fine.

I don't like how it sticks out, either, how it complicates removing the spark plugs, the price, or all the stuff I'd have to change just to get it to work.

Let someone else be the guinea pig for that (it did immediately bring Billj747's MotoIQ MSD CDI update to mind)!

 

there are three changes, 1 the different spark plug, two running sequential ignition and 3 the fancy coils
i wonder what happens with just the plugs

 

The plugs are just rebranded (and maybe slightly customized) NGK racing plugs.

This like when a flour company recommends their own flour in a bread recipe.
