mechanical/electronic wasted spark ignition system
Hello everybody
I am going to try ( as a project ) to make a mechanical/electronic wasted spark ignition system.
That means keeping the rotor and dizzy but not adapting the software or ECU.
Only use for the dizzy and rotor will determine the position of the crankshaft.
It’s using an optical reflection sensor who’s detecting the position of the rotor. This is going to drive an DIY electronic circuit that’s dividing the ECU spark timing signal to two power switch transistors with dwell regulation and two coils ( one for plug 1 and 4 , one for plug 3 and 2 ) for the 4 sparks.
So no need for the expensive ECU adaptation kit and software , only the electronic circuit and the wasted spark coil.
Anybody has tried already to go this way ?

Made a little bracket to put the module on and adapted the rotor.

The stainless piece is polished to max reflection.
Make everything as symetrical as possible to not disturb the balance of the rotor.
Use the same 3 screws.
It's turning at 3000 rpm.
The dimensions are not super critical as it's just needed to indicate which set of cylinders to fire. 1 and 4 or 2 and 3.
I made it the same width as the largest part of the rotor.
Exact timing is done by ECU and stays as standard.

Too many posts.. I need a life!!

not being critical but the more accepted method of wasted spark does away with the use of the dizzy/mechanics of it,you still need it for your system..
will you see a far stronger spark than a group a coil/fresh leads and cap?
do you think it will be as good as the normally available double amplifier kit with modded ecu?
will be good to see your results
