DLIDFIS and dead ignitors
 

Anyone try this set up and end up killing their ignitors? I've killed four just warming the car up then doing a 6000 rpm pull. They die during the sustained rev. Heat sink insufficient?

Please describe how you hooked up everything and the type of heat sink compound (grease) you used. Also how large and what type of material is your heat sink?

I have no problems with my ignitors and I use no heat sink compound, ignitors are bolted to small sheet of aluminum which is attached to the inner fender by 2 screws and about 1/2" of contact at the end. This is in Phoenix. I imagine things would have to be quite bad to actually overheat an ignitor.

I agree. He sent me an email with a huge picture attatched that doesn't really show anything other than the engine bay of a racecar. I might as well resize it and post it here for him.

The ignitors are under the clutch hose in the photo. Switched to a seven pin NOLOGY HiPo ignitor which is a dual pole set up such that I run a pair of wires from the lead reluctor to the new ignitor, and it triggirs BOTH coils. I'll get a photo of the final set-up tomorrow. Pulls hard to 8500 with 10lb of Boost and no ignition problems! I'm running Beru plugs that are side shot with a 55 gap.
Have found the Nology coils and wires the only set up that gives consistantly strong spark under boost and hi revs.

That's awesome that you were able to get your car running well with components none of us have ever tried before. I hope the DLIDFIS article I wrote helped you in some ways. Have fun! :D
