Why variable ignition curves?

A variable ignition can adjust the ignition timing depending on the engine speed. This means that combustion can be better controlled in different speed ranges than with a purely static setting. As every tuned engine reacts differently, the race variant is particularly useful if you want to test curves or tune specifically.

Note: Tuning requires experience and careful work. An unsuitable ignition curve can lead to engine damage in the unfavorable range.

Selecting and programming curves

Selection: The 16 curves are selected via dip switches on the control unit.
Programming: Connect the control unit to the computer via USB, adjust and save the curves.
Documents: Curve overview and instructions are available in the manufacturer's download area.

Suitable for

Note: The ignition is designed for Ø20 mm cones. It can also be used on older engine generations with contact ignition and small Ø19 mm cone if the engine has been converted to a crankshaft with Ø20 mm cone.
