DerStrom8 Super Moderator Jun 26, 2012 #6 8kw is an awful lot for an ignition coil. I think he means 8kv. I recommend this one from RMCybernetics: https://www.rmcybernetics.com/projects/DIY_Devices/homemade_pulse_controller.htm Frequency and duty cycle are adjusted independently of one another. The main thing you really need to be sure of is that your power source is able to produce enough current to drive the coil, which is usually >5 amps. Last edited: Jun 26, 2012
