mini valver Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Say you had iridium plugs and some good 8mm ht leads I heard a tale today there is a limit on the boost it can cope with Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesglanza Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) I'm soon to be running around 1.5bar, have heard of people running up to near 1.8bar but how safe it is I couldn't tell you Edited July 5, 2016 by jamesglanza Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 People normally turn to COP ignition around 350 - 370 bhp area.Thats normally at the kinda boost levels you start blowing out the spark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gorganl2000 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) i've personally seen the stock ignition system handle boost up to 1.5 bar with no issues on gt28/td05 sized turbos...which as said above tend to give about 350bhp the individual components would need to be in good condition--plugs, wires, coil, distributor, igniter, coil and your plugs may need to be gapped appropriately/smaller at higher boost levels to avoid blow out others have claimed to run more than 1.5bar...the most i've heard is 2.0 bar on a gt28....but at these boost levels, you tend to have other issues to worry about such as head bolts, h/gasket, etc---IF they are stock Edited July 5, 2016 by gorganl2000 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GP82 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I have ran upto 25 psi on the stock ignition and it has been fine with iridium plugs, stock leads. As said when all the ignition parts are in good condition it will be fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
