Re: Volker Racing Spark Plugs
Shaun,
"Kistler makes some offert sparkplug adapters that allow you to fit the sensor next to the sparkplug. Maybe you can get those?"
If you read the tech data about the BMW M5 V10 engine, BMW came out with the the novel idea of using the sparkplug themselves as the sensor to measure ionization quality and also to act as a knock sensor. This is brilliant becuase, if you think about it, when the plug is not firing, it does absolutely NOTHING. So BMW uses the electrode to measure things via their specialised 32-bit processors for quality of burn relating directly to piston positioning. This I think is simply brilliant!.
