SkyFire Ignition Driver Features

Click on a category to explore it's features.

More powerful spark
Up to 400% more energy
More performance
Up to 15% more performance
Better Fuel Igniting
Engine runs more stable, especially on idle (see the Classic Car Euro Challenge section)
Improved accelleration
No more misfires and a complete fuel burn-off
Less or no choke required
Cold engines often don't need any choke at all
Suitable for High Performance Coils
Extreme low resistance coils (0.25 Ohm) and doesn't require any ballast resistors
Extremely short Charge Time
Ability to handle even 12 Cylinders at extremely high revs
Even more performance on CNG and LPG
Up to 15% more performance on CNG and LPG when using an additional map
Additional Racing map
Additional map for either Street or Racing

Spark Control
Uses a set of algorithms and measurements to generate the best ignition spark under any condition
Digital Timing Control (DTC)
Imperfect distributor signals get removed or optimized automatically
Timing Correction
Distrubitor errors can be solved by a timing adaption algorithm
Full Range Performance
Where as Classic Ignition Systems are often optimized for partial load at mid-range,
SkyFire optimizes the full REV range

Improved Throttle response
Reduced or eliminated performance gaps when throttling
Normally the mixture will become lean when pushing in, before the enrichment kicks in, which generates a performance gap
Virtually no Engine vibrations
Engines are running extremely smooth afterwards, see Classic Car Euro Challenge
Optimized according Engine Code
Every engine is different, which also requires a different configuration
The most optimal configuration is pre-programmed in the SkyFire Igntion Driver

Start booster
Easier starting in winter and with low battery voltages
Improved emission values
Values can differ by car, some examples are shown at the Emissions section
Incompatible / modern fuels
Fuels like E5, E10, E20, propane/butane (LPG), CNG are more difficult to ignite
The SkyFire Ignition Driver can handle this, due to increase of ignition temperatures
Better mixture handling
No problems with rich and lean mixtures
Improved Fuel consumption
Less fuel consumption, because every spark generates a full burn-off
This can get up to 10% or in some cases even more
Even less Fuel consumption with CNG and LPG
An additional map for CNG and LPG can reduce the fuel consumption to 12%

RPM Range: 60 - 10000 RPM or more
RPM range depends on motorcode and cylinders
High RPMs are required for Racing Engines and V8/V12 Engines
Several 2D and 3D maps
Optimized maps by Engine Code for the best performance
If requested, custom maps are also supported
Additional CNG or LPG Maps
Automatically selects the additional map when switching between fuels
To get the best performance for each fuel type
REV limiter
Optional: Backup System
Keep your original ignition system as a plug and play backup
In a matter of seconds you can swap between the two systems

Every Distributor System
Points, Electronic points replacements, HALL, reluctor and ECU-triggered are supported
Every 2 - 12 cylinders, even odd 6
Some brands have special 6 cylinder engines, like: Peugot, Alpine, etc.
Other systems
For other systems, like: Distributorless Ignition Systems (DIS), etc.

Doesn't compromise the value of the car
When updating your ignition with a SkyFire Ignition Driver, you:
- can always go back to the original
- don't have to adapt any original parts in any way
- don't need to drill any holes, in most cases
- can install it out of sight
Coil directly connected to ground is supported
Some cars, 1970's Mercedes cars have this configuration
Plug and play installation
Easy to read manual
