Or one wire on each coil ?One wire as per the site. It is fitted inline with the coil power feed as it's common to all coils. Once rr psi if boost is reached it bumps the voltage up to a max of around 17.5v 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It allows you to run stock plug gaps in high boost levels. I don't think you'll find to many 1000hp cars that run stock gaps,completely stock ignition systems or perform as well off boost as a stock car. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gap your plugs to 1.1mm. Install the unit. Leave the boost switch disconnected. Go for a drive and you can pretty much guarantee any boost level above around 11lb will cause spark breakdown. Plug the boost switch in and try again. You won't get break down. I have bypassed the switch and tested the voltage to the coils maxed out it see 17.6v. I'm not sure If you know who kenne bell are or what they do but they certainly are not in the polariser business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are very exited about these new voltage boosters that will solve spark blow out on any forced induction flacon and retain std spark plug gaps to improve the way the engine runs and improve fuel economy. The quality and fitment is second to none and made buy ourselves and jms chip in the USA .More information and pictures will come from us in the next few weeks .And lastlyQuote: Originally Posted by Bossxr8 I'm struggling to understand how an engine with a coil for every cylinder can have spark issues. The coils only have a certain output though normally. It takes a certain minimum voltage for the spark to jump the gap on the plugs, and if the cylinder pressure increases too much it requires more voltage for the same gap, or a smaller gapped plug.

Worth a read, the first few pages at least. I do like the idea of plug and play booster, no cutting wires etc so if I was a richer man I'd have had one nine months ago.http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11407891&highlight=boost-a-spark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
