Must read Ignitech TCIP 4, Ca-Cycleworks exact-fit coils, Spark plug info

[sevenfifty]

I have a new unit coming in, so I'll get the right plugs and hopefully that will work better.
It's a sweet unit otherwise.

They need to put a red label on the unit saying 'use resistor plugs or else it will damage the unit', not a fine print online saying 'recommended sparks...'

Can I ask, what quickshifter are you using with the TCIP4?

cheers

I'm very happy to have found this thread.

I've been building my new track bike over the past six months.

It has TCIP4 with Ca-Cycleworks red coils, I'm running D8EA sparks.

Took it out for the first time last weekend, very exiting, it was running sweet, I was smiling.
10 laps later it started to cut out, running rough, and that was the end if the first test.

I couldn't figure out what was wrong, I connected the TCIP4 to the laptop, it was showing error codes.
Then I found this thread.

So it looks like I fried the Ignitech unit by using the OEM spark plugs?

cheers

resistor plugs have been std fitment for longer than i've been working on them.  they always had champion ra4hc or ra6hc.

Except for those of us who got sold bikes with the NGK DPR8-EA9 plugs in them. And the stock toolkit plug spanner that doesn't fit them...

DPR8EA9s are resistor plugs

I think his comment was more directed at Brad about brand and the wrench not fitting.

guilty.  and the cause of many low speed and cold running issues when not gapped back to 0.6mm.

now i've found you can get DCPR8E with screw on ends, and they fit the supplied socket.
