AW: [DML] Re: High Voltage Coils, High Octane Fuel

["Elvis Nocita" <elvisnocita@xxxx>]

Bill, you'r wrong again ;-)
I will agree with you in some points, but not in the way you
try to explain it or think it is working. If you're interested
I can scan you some pictures of some books I have and that explain
the ignition system very good. With some simple physical laws
you will understand why there's never a higher voltage than about
20k volt on the ignition - as long as each part is ok.

If your coil stores more energy than the stock unit, then you may
get some advantage of it. If only the ratio between primary and secondary
winding is higher than stock - you won't gain anything.(but you will get
some nice and very high numbers on the box of the coil...that only
tell that it is the max voltage if no spark can occure...)

I see you know and understand a lot about cars, fuel and stuff, why not
try to understand the ignition, too ? that's something our car
mechanics learn at school and with the analyzer (oszilloscope) they
can tell you which part of the system has problems or not...(I learned
a lot the last days while reading this stuff)

If stock iginition is set up too weak, then I should feel a difference
by bridging one of the two resistors, right ? (for a few minutes only, there
won't be a problem with overheating or something.)
If this makes a difference, the next step would be to find out which coil
would fit our cars without damaging the ECU or something. Maybe we can get
some informations from BOSCH...because Coil may be cheap, the ECU is not.
(by the way, my filters are clean, the fluids ok, the oil will be changed
before the winter - just my steering is still shaking when braking
and nobody could tel me yet why ?!?!?!(new rotors installed!!!!!))

Should be obvious by now that you and I will never agree on this
issue. Humbly suggest you not get so worked up about it. Even if
higher voltage coils had no benefit at all:
1) are my cars to configure as I wish
2) ignition coil usually costs less than any other item on engine
3) are 1001 other things you should be asking me about but never do:
condition of filters, time since last fluid changes, etc
