Does look interesting, wonder how much the initial cost of those is going to be though if they do get produced, i can see it being a bit steep, as with any new tech on the market. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

Very interesting! I had a google around and came across an intended price of $600 each I cant help thinking theres a bit of a safty issue though, if they are hot enugh to ignite a cylinder, then they'll probably hapilly cut through stuff, imagine getting the focus wrong in your ecu map and cuting a hole through your pistons, or even bore! LOL Incidently, I have had my megasquirt comunicating with the laptop over 500m of fibre optic. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/201...a-lsr042011.php Syvecs ecu communicates directly via LAN. Some people have even tuned from abroad via WiFi !! But the spark plug thing sounds cool 9.85 @ 145mph

I like this story linked to from that article On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
Yep I agree with TD........ |

I like this story linked to from that article  Star Wars here we come ! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-12620560Haha, I went straight on to read that after the spark plug article as well! This would be quite a substantial change in the automotive industry if they became mainstream though; strike off spark plugs from regular service intervals! |
