Production cars today are already equipped with an advanced ignition system. The goal, of course related to fuel efficiency, but without sacrificing performance.

However, the advanced ignition system makes it increasingly difficult tampered. “Manufacturers are now made with precision ignition systems for more efficient fuel consumption,” explains Taqwa SS, skipper Speed ​​Garden shop in West Jakarta.

However, he continued, for daily use, measures to maximize the ignition with standard components to be not so important as a direct ignition system (direct fire) on the cars now rarely touched when it will be upgraded.

There is also that maximizes ignition using aftermarket parts. “Rising baseball a lot, ,” said Dalvin of CK Motorsport. It can happen when the engine is still the standard.

To avoid the wrong knowledge and habits around the ignition, refer to the instructions below.

1. The amount of voltage is not everything
The ability to manufacture coil voltage electric current will make maximum and efficient combustion is true. But most importantly, his time delivery. “Time is the time required delivery at the time an electric current flows from the coil to the spark plug,” Taqwa said. The shorter the time, Taqwa resume, the better the combustion in the engine. For direct-ignition system, delivery time was very short because the electric current from the coil directly sent to the spark plugs. The system is not direct (indirect) still need a distributor.

2. Never replace the spark plugs at random
High-performance spark plugs, the targeted characteristic, not much different from the original spark plugs. It’s like restriktor and its heat range. Until the fumble, the machine work will be disrupted. It had been so, the price is around Rp 50,000 to Rp 100,000 per unit is not in accordance with the increase in power output.

3. The use of high performace coil
For a car engine that has embraced direct-ignition is not an absolute must to use high performance coil. In addition to exorbitant prices, the ability of the standard coil is sufficient, if the need for daily. Another thing that has been modified extremes, such as turbo applications. Why, at that stage, the supply of electric current from a standard coil is too small.

4. Volt stabilizer and ground wiring
Use of these two components is not a significant energy boost, but still needs to be used. Its function is to maximize the quality of ignition due to electrical currents in the machine becomes more stable.

5. Installation of piggyback
Its function is not to the person who tinkers machine settings, but also can maximize the ignition sector. With the use of piggyback, ignition timing can be adjusted as needed. How, to advance the ignition timing a few degrees. The effect, should be coupled with the use of a higher quality fuel.
