modified cdi and cr 80 coil

[kusanagy100]

disculpa, no me di cuenta, aca las cuelgo de vuelta con mejor tamaño
(sorry, I did not realize, here I back with the best size)

for me there are 2 resistors between the capacitors

regards

I will try to find some higher voltage caps, I know my SCR is only rated for 400V as I could not get the 600V that was spec'd in jaguars build, jaguar also spec's 250V for the cap, either metalized polyester or metalized polypropylene which is supposed to be better for this application and is what I got. I tested my caps and they still measure 1.8uf, if they had failed would I still be getting this reading? Would the SCR fail in a wierd way working for a short time than dying than working some more?

I'm planning on removing the pot and installing 18 and 82 ohm resisters to keep it simpler while testing, and adding 1 more cap.

Yes the '79 dodge was 12 volt but the coil used a ballast resister to drop the 12v down to 6v, the coil is kinda big but i will eventually get a motorbike coil when its all working. Is there an ideal primary winding resistance, or can the CDI be matched to a coil, It would be neat to make a Coil On Plug setup, as I have a few, but they are 12v coils.

The weirdest thing is that it only runs for short bursts like there is something heating up or coming loose from the vibrations. I bet it will work when i try it tomorrow, its really frustrating to be so close and being such a simple machine there are not to many options the fix must be something simple.

I will take some pics of my setup, my CDI box really turned well now I just have to make it work well.

Thanks again to the people on this forum I could not have done it without you as a resource.

The SCR used in that box there is a C106D,(400V,4A) plenty of those here:

BTW, in my setup, I am using a 12V coil from a Z31 series 300ZX.

Thanks for the great information and photos guys

 

[kusanagy100]

my advances in the cdi schematic jeje,
what is yours opinion

 

[rohmell]

Are you sure that 22K is not 220 ohm?

 

[kusanagy100]

i see red red orange

 

[rohmell]

OK, thank you for that information.

Can you identify the value of the resistor under the blue wire?
Can you take a picture of the underside of the pc board?

 

[kusanagy100]

sorry rohmell i dont see blue wire, i only see black, red and green wires

i cant indentify the value of these resistor, because i dont have one of these cdis to take a photo

anyone can take a photo of the pcb of other angle?, or underside?

saludos gente, y que no caiga el post

Hi all anyone tried one of these?

5 PIN RACE NO REV HYPER CDI BOX XR50 CRF50 50 70 125 PIT BIKE CD01

 

[skrew37]

I just bought one and will never use it. Wanna buy it? Never used and still in its original packaging.

 

[the42ndoffense]

If I might ask, why not use it? seems a pretty penny to spend on something you're certain to give away. Seems to work very well on my bike.

 

[skrew37]

I was told its only for a 12v system after I bought it. I don't think it will work with my bike. Am I wrong?

What is the difference between the stock black box and a cdi?

Will this work with a cdi?

What is the difference between the stock black box and a cdi?

The stock black box contains a CDI and an ignition coil, all potted together so that you can't see the circuit, make repairs or modifications.

The CDI is just the portion that takes the engine's magneto output, charges up a capacitor, then at the right time, discharges that capacitor, into an ignition coil.

Sure, why not? It's an ignition coil. One of the diagrams in this thread shows how to connect the CDI circuit to an ignition coil of this style.

thinking of putting a 1uF instead of the normal 2uF in mine to see how she goes

1uF will work fine. Since it is smaller it will charge faster, and you can attain higher RPMs. But, since it is smaller, the discharge pulse to the ignition coil will be smaller, but probably will be unnoticeable.

I was thinking that.

i went and bought a 1uF 450v capacitor

but it's polarized :S

ok i tried to open the CDI box and no luck look what happened
