Looking for Capacitive Discharge Ignition systems FAQ's, etc

[Mike Rocket J. Squirrel E]

Schematics, DIY articles and/or kits, "How they work" articles for CDI
systems. Need a primer and some discussions of working examples.

You can do a search on Megasquirt which combines the injection ECU and now the ignition
ECU. Megasquirt is a DIY type of system.

I use a Crane HI-6R in my race car, the "multi-spark" only really occurs at low RPM, not
at WOT (features rev limiters, retard on boost, etc..) another CDI system is the MSD
ignition system.

Unless you are racing or making serious amounts of horsepower, it isn't necessary.
However, if you want reliability, you can convert your application to injection (using
throttle bodies) and use the Megasquirt and crank trigger ignition and you'll have a sweet
system.
