FEATURES
2000mJ Per Channel — Extreme CDI Ignition Energy
At the core of the FTSPARK GEN3 MAX2000 is a completely redesigned ignition architecture developed to push the limits CDI ignition performance:
-
Up to 2000mJ of ignition energy per channel — extremely high spark intensity for engines operating under extreme cylinder pressure
-
475–500V primary coil voltage, helping prevent misfires in high boost and high compression applications
- Up to 175A primary coil current when paired with the FuelTech Racing CDI Coil designed specifically for FTSPARK systems
-
Strong spark current and reliable ignition performance even when operating at reduced ignition energy levels down to 150mJ
-
Increased spark current and extended spark duration for improved combustion stability across a wide range of engine conditions
Multispark Mode — Ignite the Most Difficult Mixtures
The new Multispark mode expands the operating envelope beyond traditional CDI ignition systems:
- Programable multispark configuration: fire a series of sparks rather than a single spark per combustion cycle
- Enables stable ignition of extremely rich air/fuel mixtures — ideal for high boost, high compression, alcohol, and nitromethane applications
-
Provides ignition performance comparable to high-energy inductive systems when operating with lean mixtures
- Ensures consistent combustion from idle conditions through maximum cylinder pressure
Programmable Energy & Advanced CANBUS Integration
The FTSPARK GEN3 MAX2000 offers extensive integration flexibility for professional engine builders and calibrators:
- Programmable ignition energy via CAN communication or dedicated energy level adjustment input — enabling control of ignition power
- Advanced per-channel diagnostics via CANBUS for real-time system monitoring and fault detection
-
CAN communication with the full FuelTech ECU lineup — ignition channel data can be logged directly through the FuelTech datalogger
-
Single-wire serial bus (multiplexed trigger input) — all ignition channels triggered from a single ECU output, simplifying wiring and freeing ECU resources for additional strategies
-
Compatible with a wide range of motorsport ECUs through motorsport-standard ignition trigger input architecture
4, 6, or 8 Independent Ignition Channels
The FTSPARK GEN3 MAX2000 supports 4, 6, or 8 fully independent ignition channels, covering:
- Multi-cylinder piston engines up to 8 cylinders
-
Rotary engines with up to 4 rotors – 3 and 4 rotors require 2 x FTSPARK-4
Built for the Most Extreme Racing Conditions
Every design decision in the GEN3 MAX2000 prioritizes durability and long-term reliability under race conditions:
- Reinforced internal construction for improved resistance to vibration, impact, and extreme G-forces
- High-quality automotive-grade connectors for dependable electrical connections in harsh motorsport environments
-
Advanced thermal design with increased heat dissipation capacity and improved heat exchange for lower operating temperatures and extended duty cycles
Engineered for drag racing, rally, off-road, and endurance applications where ignition performance and reliability are critical.
Direct Drop-In Upgrade from FTSPARK GEN2
Upgrading from GEN2 is as straightforward. GEN3 MAX2000 maintains:
- Identical pinout — no rewiring required
- Same mounting points — direct mechanical replacement
Full GEN3 MAX2000 performance gains are available as a direct swap, keeping installation time and downtime to a minimum.
