Setting aside just what may or may not be allowed by various class racing rules, has anyone tried spark ignition instead of glow plug ignition with a high nitro fuel mix?
1/4-32 spark plugs are available (such as NGK ME8). I have been using Power-Spark electronic (programmable) ignition systems on gas boats for a few years. This system can work up to 30000rpm, and has a programmable ignition timing curve and ignition energy.
Would conventional spark plugs survive? Is the ignition energy required going to be beyond normal ignition systems for gas type engines?
