Easy To Build CDI (1)

We know, the principle advantage of a CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) System is the
ability to present a superior spark to the air/fuel mixture inside the combustion chamber,
thus maximizing burn efficiency. The easiest way to build CDI, we must understand to
know Basic Ignition System. Look This below Schematic Diagram of CDI System.

We start from pickup coil, when the tooth approaches a pickup coil, the magnetic field in
the pickup coil changes, and an AC signal voltage is induced in the sensor coil/ pickup
coil. This signal transmit to control the SCR with resistor and capacitor (parallel R1 and
C1 for adjust the advance timing), SCR turn ON and OFF if receive this signal and make
the voltage an anode the SCR turn ON and OFF appropriate input the SCR. This cycle
make the capacitor (C2) charge and discharge to switches an ignition coil and make the
field magnetic and produce high voltage to secondary ignition coil, this high voltage
supply to spark plug.

Component this Circuit:


R1=22K Ohm
R2=1K Ohm
C1=3,3uF/50V
C2=1 uF/400V
D1,2,3=IN4007
SCR=2P4M

The simple ignition just produce results like above picture, the linear advance with RPM
Engine, we can not adjust the advance timing, because we use the parallel R and C for
adjust advance timing for this CDI ignition. We can be adjust the advance timing with
Advance Module like below picture.
The purpose advance module as this circuit is adjuster advance timing, with change delay
of time charge and discharge of capacitor C2, if the positive signal come to the module,
the module switch ON the SCR, and delay some time to switch OFF. This function to get
accurate the ignition timing appropriate RPM of Engine. We get optimum power of
engine (Acceleration and top speed can be maximum) if the the timing ignition is
accurate, acceleration begin 1500RPM, top speed over 2500RPM, not misfire and
knocking, this make to damage the engine. The flexible and easy to adjust the advance
timing, we must to use The Programmable Ignition System or read in HERE to Learn
