Territory SX-SY Drifter
YOU REALLY DON’T KNOW HOW GOOD YOUR TERRITORY REALLY IS!
Especially with the 245T.
Increased cylinder pressure that you will encounter in performance engines and particularly all Turbo and E-gas engines, can cause the suppression of spark energy which in turn will increase the current flow to the secondary side of the coil.
Plain English. It’s like blowing the spark out. It causes an open circuit condition and the coil stops firing. This is what happens with most coils even the genuine coil, they are running at 20kv and this not enough spark for a performance engine. Drifter’s on the other hand have an output nearer 40kv
Most Turbo owners may have already struck this problem. The most popular way to fix it is to reduce the spark gap so that the spark doesn’t have as far to jump. This is the usual remedy also used to make your Gas burning engines run better with less backfires. This does work, however reducing the plug gap also reduces the current required to fire the plug, and in turn reduces the intensity of the spark thus in turn robbing the engine of most of its potential. This is where you need your mechanic to help you work out the plug and the gap scenario that you need
A high output coil , produces a more intense spark and uses less power to do this, in turn allowing for the plug gap to be increased to a wider setting in turn improving burning. More spark more power equals more torque and performance.
You can try different gap settings and spark plug combinations or you can try a set of our new Autotrad “Drifter”coil.
