 |
|
Since we are talking about auto conversions... There is an Australian
company called Foxcon that has a Subaru conversion with a four coil
ignition system. I was wondering if anyone on this list has heard
anything about it. Their website is www.foxcon.com and here is what
they say about it:
Foxcon Aviation & Research Pty Ltd is proud to introduce the latest
safety feature: an Independent Ignition System that eliminates the risk
of forced landings due to alternator failures.
Modified car engines for ultralight aircraft e.g. the Subaru EA 81
commonly operate on single ignition. There are often discussions whether
they should have dual ignition like certified engines for additional
safety and better combustion.
Foxcon Aviation has developed an independent ignition system for each
cylinder: should one system fail, the engine will continue operating on
the remaining cylinders.
The Foxcon independent ignition system has a modified distributor rotor
and cap. There are four independent ignition coils, one for each
cylinder. The power consumption is only about 10 % of a conventional
system with points, hence in the case of an alternator failure, the
battery will power the engine for hours. Additionally, because of the
reduced power consumption, the coils operate at a lower temperature,
which enhances reliability. The only features common within the system
are the power supply and the distributor.
