Honda SOHC D16 Engine Build - AEM Series 2 Ignition

The easy-to-use AEM Series 2 was mated to an AEM twin-fire ignition, AEM Engine Position Module, AEM pencil coils and NGK BKR8EIX iridium spark plugs. This setup, wired in by the mil/spec guru himself - Ryan Basseri of Rywire - also featured a unique Coil-On-Plug setup, an AEM electronic boost control solenoid, AEM 5-bar MAP sensor, AEM 100 psi Oil pressure sensor, 150 psi Fuel pressure sensor and factory Honda knock, AIT and TPS sensors.

The COP system allows for power enhancing ignition spark, accurate timing events and individual cylinder timing adjustments. This is the same system used on all Bisimoto Engineering projects. Reliable, clean wiring is the key to a successful electronics setup and Rywire came to the rescue. Using full Raychem insulation, with twisted and shielded cables to keep any electrical noise at bay, Ryan performed his magic on the Bisimoto Engineering Wagon.

There are so many battery manufacturers out there, but we at team Bisimoto Engineering only trust our race, show and street vehicles to XS Power! The XS Power S680 is a lightweight (17 pound), 12 volt (AGM) battery that packs more amperage and cranking power into half the space of most top-post 12 volt batteries. These absorbed glass mat batteries are perfect for race cars, show cars and daily drivers that are short on space. The XS Power starting batteries can be mounted at any angle (except upside-down) and don't have external vents, so they're safe to put just about anywhere, including inside the passenger compartment or under the passenger seat, like in the Bisimoto Engineering Wagon! XS Power starting batteries are guaranteed not to leak (even if damaged) and include SAE post adapter terminals and a protective metal case for underhood use.

Sound technology is paramount when it comes to us designing, building engines and choosing the right parts. Next month we'll dip into the fuel injection setup and cooling performance for the Bisimoto Wagon, so y'all come back now, y'hear?
