Hello NSI Subaru Drivers:



You may recall my e-mail post of 17 Feb. 06, in which I advised that subject

ignition isolation units are no longer available from NSI. Since then I have

been unable to find anybody that could make such a unit.

Therefore I was forced to research and develop such a unit on my own. The

attached picture shows the result. Dimensionally my unit is identical to

NSI's. I use the same plastics and composits as used by NSI. The brass posts

in my unit are Mil-spec Nickel-Tin plated for corrosion resistance and

improved conductivity. My unit also has a composit bottom plate for better

isolation of the internal high voltage electrical components from the

grounded metal mounting plate. I have made two units and installed them in

N10PG. They perform flawlessly. It may be of interest that each unit

consists of  24 purchased components plus 15 machined components.

I am prepared to manufacture one batch of additional units at a cost of $

450.00 each. Please let me know via e-mail by no later than 30 April '06 if

you want me to build one or more units for you

Please keep in mind that there is no alternative to having two properly

functioning ignition isolation modules when flying the NSI Subaru with two

independent electronic ignition systems. My experience to date: I have

replaced four failed NSI-manufactured isolation units in 1,000 hrs of

operation in N10PG.

Peter,



As you have discovered, the isolation units are the weak single point

failure in the dual ignition system.  I wish there was a better way.  I have

not heard of anyone having a failure of any other part of the ignition.



By the way, is that $450 for the set?

Here's a thought:

Would you consider organizing a cooperative effort whereby we get some

number of people (say 20 people) to send you $200, and you make as many as

you can for the $4000 and hold them in stock.  You could then sell them for

$450 to the stakeholders for as long as they lasted.  In other words, the

$200 gives the stakeholders the peace of mind they have access to the

modules if needed.



If you sell all the modules, you have the money to go out and make a bunch

more.

If you or nobody else wanted to, I would volunteer to hold them in my

companies Parts Store as parts inventory if you didn't want to.  



Some details still to figure out, but you get my drift.

Hi Guys,



If it would help I an founder / President of an electronics manufacturing 

facility.  My facility could bang out as many as you need, I would be 

willing to build, stock and ship any units you need.



If you are interested Peter, let me know.

Hello Greg:

Where were you when I was crying for help? Too late now. I have spent

hundreds if not thousands of dollars to research and made my own and am

willing to make more for anybody that needs them.

Peter
