I will post up more of the build over next few days.

In regards to the Ignition here in my home country no one uses Alcohol !, I suppose I have had a massive influence in this regard and led by example and shown people how its done (on my own cars and various customers cars), which is all they really want at the end of the day give them the key to the door and help them in the most important aspect (tuning and calibration of the WI system) and its an open and shut case on the merits of Water over anything else *including full race fuel set ups*

The ignition is the single most important aspect in a high powered car, it makes the difference between you telling the motor what to do V's it dictating to you how and when and what it wants to run on lol, I simply copied this basic fact from the old WW2 boys who were using magneto and huge current and energy ignitions to run massive water to fuel ratio's, once I figured out that key element/restriction of normal ways of thinking today a whole new world in terms of power and reliability were open to me.

Here is a picture of the CDI & COP systems current and burn time as measured on my pecoscope, it is very powerful !



This is picoscope testing of my CDI system, for current flow, primary voltage, secondary burn time, number of spark restrikes.... works well even a newb with electricity like me can figure it out

Burn time is roughly 420us or .4 milliseconds and there is 6 separate restrikes at 1000rpm over roughly 5 milliseconds per cycle. System pulls about 25 amps of first spark and 13 amps for the restrike sparks.



and testing of the ign video
