Moved to the tech discussion area. I am somewhat dubious that someone could suddenly find such an innovation and offer it here rather than to take it to an automotive company, and that is putting it pretty mildly indeed.

I tried this back in 2002 and had and engine that would have to be fired in the power cycle I ended up destroying it before I could work out what was going on. As far as I know no one has come close to doing this from searching on the net.

Ignition control, well I can't find any around to do what I want
so I put a request into the MSD engineers.
If you might be interested to port an engine like mine you may need a good system to fire the spark correctly i started a thread herehttp://www.msdignition.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14464
you could express your interest there.
Thanks

I use pixies, they have a little compartment with a window on the side of the cylinder. They sit and press a little button that as they say "makes lightning in the sky" when the ground is in the right place to make the maximum positive wave front at 16 degrees past top dead center.

Ive looked up the engine specs of a F1 engine a typical one...
Bore 98mm Stroke 39.7 outputs
552 kw at 19000 with 274 Nm of torque
so they have a VE% of about 130

I then applied my changes in VE 50% more is my best guess...

826 kw at 19000 with 415 Nm of torque

that my best guess for now
