New HPI ign + charge coils for GT750

Post by Zunspec4 »

Hi all,

A friend on Facebook has just posted a photo of a new offering from HorsepowerIgnition (HPI). A combined electronic ign. and charging coil set-up for the GT750, looks to be well made.

Thanks Geoff.

That's a neat looking ignition that presumably all fits under the alternator side cover - or does it fit in the points housing? Do you know what sort of wattage it generates?

Hi tz,

This latest HPI offering was posted on Facebook by Cor Geraets, a very competent engineer who likes to build TR750 replicas. I perused the HPI web site but did not spot it listed (too new maybe). I will contact Cor and see if he can provide any details.

Cheers Geoff

Hi tz, Cor got right back to me :up:

"it is a new product I am HPI dealers Also the TR's ignitions HPI first builds I was involved in So I am at the source of this HPI ignitions This product is just new Details will follow Greetings Cor"

Cor hails from Belgium :D , but if I interpret the above he maybe has a pre-production product as he is an HPI agent and is helping to test this new HPI GT750 system. I believe this new system will have a self-generating Ign. as seen in their race ign's and a separate charging side. A nice 250W would be good :up:

I'll keep you posted as and when there is further info.

Cheers Geoff

Cor posted another photo of the system. This system is the prototype that Cor is helping HPI to develop.
