I was just cruising AJR and saw this for the first time. I'm just curious if anyone knows anything about it or has used it. Basically is it worth $134?

Thanks Matt.

PS. I also have to give AJR props on the 2nd place in the Super Street Time Attack.

 

wow... just wow.

i mean seriously..who would have thought that companies could come up with such total bullsh!t!!

ok. so the kit looks like a piece of CNC'd aluminum to ground all the coils together and then a ground strap to ground that plate to the chassis.

mmmkay.

lets see. all the coils bolt to the Aluminum valvecover so the big impressive looking CNC piece is a waste.

and then if you really want you can get some stereo wire and ring terminals and make your own ground strap for like $5.

i'll pass.....

 

less speculation more dyno. dont you tink if it was that easy honda would have done it from the factory?


products like this and "grounding kits" are total crap meant to ease money out of the pockets of desperate consumers...

 

Proofread, proofread, proofread................

If you're trying to sell a product to the general public do it in a professional manner. Mis-spellings and grammatical errors are not professional.

Sorry AJ Pwr.

[QUOTE]Ignition system is a state of the art ignition system which doesn't use a plug cord but instead uses the series of compact ignition coil to each cylinder.
Over half of the new engine which are released in the market has adopted the direct ignition system.
Although the direct ignition meets the auto manufactures design, function and structure as a ignition system, it can be said that the direct ignition has yet to realize its full potential. Furthermore as for the coil itself is mostly a car specific design, which made it difficult for tuning.
"The direct ignition bridge" is a new tuning device that lets you pull out the full potential of the factory direct ignition system by directing all of weak negative electric current to the coil and improves the cars power, torque and fuel economy. Price: CAD $150.00 (USD $133.94)

 

site your sources please. 5hp out of a grounding kit on old muscle cars is believeable...on our cars, where everything has a very good ground connection, is not.

 

5.0hp or 0.5hp ?

Don't get me wrong. The guys @ AJ Racing are top notch people and an asset to the S2000 community.

 

Interesting...

 

Thanks for the advice. I have made corrections as much as I can since my english sucks


Here's a dyno which we have done a couple months ago on AP2.

Green line:T1R 70RT + stock

vs

Red line:T1R 70RT + V-Power2 + GND kit + Ignition plate




Thanks
Ben

 

^^^How cool. Thanks for the dyno!!


3 more items to add to my wish list...

 

So I want to preface this by saying I think you make some great products, but I don't believe at all that these work. The problem is your dyno's don't help at all.

First you claim that they're APR with only the exhaust and the differences are the GND stuff and ignition plate. That can't be true unless you have a JDM AP2. If I recall correctly the CAN and US AP2 are both 2.2L which rev to only 8200 RPMS your dyno reads out to 8400 RPMS and 8600 RPMS for the different tests. If they're revving above 8200 RPMS then the 2.2L are not stock ECUed. Once you take the stock ECU out a bunch of things could be different.

But ultimately I really don't see the benefit that either of these can provide modern cars. In the old analog days yes, I wouldn't be suprised that the power signal was sloppy since there wasn't a huge amount that they could do to clean up the signigal. However in the digital age there is alot of effort spent to provide clean analog signals. Since the signals are coming from the ECU which will clean up fluctuations in power and signal I just don't buy that these will do much. Even under perfect conditions I would argue the reason is dyno variance more than actuall gain. Hell my 2.2L showed a 5HP varience in dyno numbers from 3 back to back dyno runs.
