The other PC-10 is finally here...

[Forkliftguy]

Well I finally received the other Nology PC-10 I ordered!

Although I haven't had a good test run with them yet, so far I am impressed. My revs climb a bit faster now and when you bring them up to 6000+ you really notice a difference in the engine's attitude. I was thinking of installing a small indicator (maybe an L.E.D.) to let me know when my knock sensor was kicking, but now I don't think I'll need to. It's funny, since I installed these, when you think back you can actually visualize that this engine was really cutting back due to knock retard and lack of proper combustion at high revs before I installed these.

The engine sounds really awesome in the higher range now, kinda like a real engine. LOL. It pulls a lot harde now too.

I don't think it really worth the CDN$200 I spent on them for the little amount of engine work I have done so far (yet I am monitoring my fuel economy so only time will tell). I think once I do more work to the engine that that is when they will make the biggest difference. It would deffinately help you Nitrous and turbo guys out though. Here are some pics of my install...

Marc,

Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly are the Nology PC-10's and what are they to do I have some idea from your thread, however I'm not quite sure I know the whole picture.

I am beginning to put together some mod ideas for my 2.4L 5spd. GT. My son will be getting the car in a few years and I want it give it a few upgrades. I do not want to unleash too much power on him, the last thing I need is a teenager with a car that he can't handle.

Thanks in advance,
Dan

Hey Dan,

The Nology PC-10 (one version of several others by Nology) is a spark booster. It basically just adds more juice to your coils to get a stronger, more consistent spark. Nology claims they give a 50% increase in spark output. I bought one not realizing that you need one unit per coil and since I have two I had to wait for the other one to come in. Like I said previously though, the benefits will be more noticed with a well modified engine where misfires are unwanted like in Boosted or Juiced applications. Here's the original thread I started http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=388064
