If you are like most
off-roaders, getting more out of your 4x4 is the bottom line for
you. We understand, we're the same way. That's why when we heard
about Ignition Solutions new Plasma Blaster ignition
for Jeeps we wanted to know more. It's a complete system that
includes the coil, plug wires and the ignition box itself. Really,
to see any results from any upgrade you need to address all effected
components and Ignition Solutions has. By matching the coil
and wires to the brain they are able to dramatically increase the
energy going to your spark plugs. That means a more efficient burn
on each stroke. Lower emission, improved throttle response and
better gas mileage are all things you can expect from this system.
The one thing I have to give them the most credit for is the fact
that they aren't trying to say that it will make your 4x4 a
Corvette, give you the winning lottery numbers, help you score with
the ladies, or any other of the unfounded promises made by some of
their competitors. While we did pick up some increases in power that
isn't the main benefit from installing their upgraded ignition
system. Getting the most out of each and every pop is. They do this
by increasing the energy going to the sparkplug and getting a hotter
spark. This hotter spark gives you an increase of 10% in flame
propagation and a faster, more complete burn. Since you are getting
the most power out of the fuel you are already using that will give
you better mileage. Having less unburned fuel after the combustion
process reduces emissions. All this added together has the added
benefit of increasing power. That makes sense,
right?
After sitting down with them
and getting the first hand info about what their new Plasma Blaster
ignition does I was sold on it. These guys are "off-the-chart"
geniuses and really know what they are talking about. They have
applied this incredible knowledge and research into building what
has to be the finest ignition system you can bolt onto your vehicle.
It's completely new from the ground up and uses all the latest
technology to give it huge performance from the smallest possible
package. Most other ignition designs are over 20 years old. While
they do work, think about it. How's that 20 year old computer doing
for you? How about that 20 year old TV or Camcorder? Technology has
moved on and so has Ignition Solutions. Their components
aren't effected by the same sorts of problems the other "Brick" type
ignitions are. No heavy transformers to break, no internal/external
heat problems and it's completely weather tight. Don't think about
taking it swimming for too long but a splash or two won't hurt
anything. Sounds about right for a serious 4x4 doesn't it? That's
what we thought. We had them install one on our '92 4.0L YJ test
mule to see for yourselves just how easy it is and how it performed.
