I'm working on a new project, the Coil Commander, a 16V converter to run stock ignition coils at 16.2V instead of the stock 12-14V system. The stock coils are pretty darn good parts and it would be nice to supply them better. There are 16V batteries available, but the rest of the car and ECU isn't really designed to run from over 16V (plus you probably need a 16V alternator if you want to use your 16V battery correctly).
It has been mentioned that this device might also drive injectors so that they run from a constant voltage instead of ecu compensated duty cycle. Plus it might help control big injectors a bit better.
The third point is this will improve noise from the coils on the +12V supply since they're isolated and decoupled.
Overall, the intent is this thing can spare the need for 16V battery, 16V alternator, run the desired systems from 16.2V, and let the rest of the car run from normal rated voltage. It could also spare the need for CDI or whatever since the stock coils can perform quite well (if supplied right). I know someone will ask... Yes I can adjust it to output higher up to 24V.
What do you think? I am looking for people to test it so if you have a nice setup and good baseline data, I want to see if you can use this to advance timing, control fuel better, or run stock coils better at higher RPM. I want to give these away to a few people who can help test.
