With the CSi now really coming together with the supercharger system now almost complete as shown at Gaydon, I decided to develop an uprated ignition kit to replace the standard puny 10,000V set-up.
With the very high cylinder pressures experienced on forced induction engines, it was essential for me to improve on the stock system.
I have worked with Magnecor who will be supplying me with special HT lead kits with king leads specific to the new coils. These coils are capable of 45,000V output but until I have the car running properly I will not be able to measure their output in this application. The visual spark is much stronger but that is hardly a technical result!
I have manufactured alloy mounting plates, seen here anodised gold with aluminium Allen fasteners and washers. The coils comfortably fit in the original positions as shown. I am using the red 8.5mm KV85 race leads on my car as shown but the kit will come with the blue 8.0mm leads for standard engined cars unless the KV85's are specified.
Whilst I have the leads available seperately, I will not be offering the coils seperately, only as kits.
I expect the full kits, 8.0mm leads and 2 coil kits to be around £350 + VAT and am interested to know before I start manufacture if there is any interest.
