I remeber seeing a thread about someone using a laptop power supply to increase spark. Anyone remember this link or the details?

 

Dunno if this will help you. http://forums.maxima.org/all-motor/5...ks-vq35de.html

 

check with grey99max, he installed a voltage booster on his car

 

Thanks guys

 

I have the same voltage device as Harold has and its great, I have mine at 16volt's .030 gap and 15psi of boost on my 3.5, I think I could probably go near .040 at same boost and still not get spark blowout. I recommend it and its less than 50 bucks.

I was trying to find you the link, hopefully harold will chim in and post it. Google Chrome deleted all my bookmarks!!!

 

Thanks man, but I found it.
The model number (PST-P90W) was posted in that thread that was linked by Quickywd01.
For future refrence, here it is....

Any update on your progress? A friend of mine showed me this http://new.minimania.com/web/Item/NME4110/InvDetail.cfm which route is better?

 

here is a pic of the one Harold has in his car, I could not find it on the site maybe they changed it alittle or something

 

Seems to be working, havent had much time to drive my Max.
Being that the adapter is like 60.00 and the one you posted is close to 300.00, I will stay with what I have.

 

LoL I know that's why I asked if the "plasma" is better. I showed him this method and he said that the components inside the power supply won't survive long.

 

And he knows this how?
FWIW, some have already claimed to be using this method for over 2yrs with no issues. So even if it died after two years, Id rather pay the 65.00 bux ever two years or so then that 300.00,.... which also may not last long either.

 

Yea, $300 bucks is overkill. Mineswell get an actual MSD or one of them fancy brands that do the same thing. For $50, im all in. Mine still works and it has been at 16v since day one. a good 3k miles on it so far. 95blkmax's old max im sure is still running around in broward, and still at 16v.

 

someone please send me a link cause when I enter the part # in the search I get something else and it did not cause 60bucks

 

It wont let you link.
Go to the link I posted,
then select edit on your upper tool bar and click find on this page, then put in PST-P90W. It will find it. Its in the middle of the page.

He's into computers so he thinks he knows everything about them. He's very stubborn so I'll just let him be but I definitely know what I'd choose.
