 Reading Spark Plugs
In the "surface-fire" plug the spark gap was between the center electrode and the flanged-inward end of the metal shell, and the insulator material filled its interior out almost flush with the electrode's tip.
When the initial spark is correctly timed the spreading flame bubble will have almost completely filled the combustion chamber as the piston reaches top center, and all burning will have been completed by the time the piston has moved just a millimeter or two into the power stroke.
Retard the spark timing in small (two or three degrees) increments and as you get close to the optimum advance you'll find two things happening: first, the whole plug will be running colder; second, the center electrode will begin to acquire a film of fuel deposits extending out from the insulator nose toward its tip.

 Alfa Romeo Twin Spark engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Twin Spark name refers usually engines made after 1986 when the 164 Twin Spark was introduced.
The TS series engines are all '4 cylinder inline' with twin cam (DOHC) shafts, and are developed first with 8 valves (an all alloy wet-liner engine) and later with 16 valves (a modern iron block engine with alloy head).
The two sparks on the early Alfa twin spark engines fired on the power stroke to help create a larger flame front ensuring less unburnt fuel in the exhaust as well as a higher thermodynamic efficiency.

 Alfa Romeo Twin Cam engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The capacity was increased to 1570 cc with the introduction of the Giulia in 1962.
Twin spark plug versions of the 1750 and 2000 were used for racing and there were a limited number of racing engines fitted with a 16 valve cylinder head.
In 1987, the Alfa Romeo 75 was fitted with a twin spark plug per cylinder head design, which provides improved fuel ignition and allows an improved combustion chamber shape with narrower angle between intake and exhaust valve.

 Daytona Twin Tec LLC - Tech FAQ General Information
When one spark plug fires on the compression stroke the other spark plug is firing on the exhaust stroke.
Multiple sparks are of no benefit if conditions of homogeneous mixture distribution and good swirl turbulence exist in the combustion chamber.
If a flammable mixture is not present at the spark plug when the first spark is fired, better conditions may exist during subsequent sparks.

 Maybach Engine & Maybach History.....Part 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
An advanced twin turbocharger system is responsible for supplying extra air to the V12 unit.
With their spontaneous response, the twin turbochargers allow the driver to mobilise the tremendous power of the engine even at lower rpm: maximum torque of 900 Newton meters is delivered at just 2300 rpm, while the peak horsepower of 405 kW/550 hp is developed at 5250 rpm.
The turbines of the twin turbochargers are space-savingly accommodated in the exhaust manifold, a location which also maximises their efficiency.

 Engine & Ignition
In its Original 2 valve twin spark engines, Alfa actually used the twin spark plugs not to create extra power but to cure rough running at low rpm and to improve fuel economy.
What Alfa found though was that whereas in a normal high overlap engine running at low speed unburnt fuel was tumbling out of the exhaust port, and the inherently diluted mixture of the EGR system which was being used to clean up the emissions, was difficult for a single plug to fire.
As the modern engine continues to develop though we may see more of the twin spark plug the reasons for this and its lack of previous use are many.

Unlike other people, twins begin life with the same genetic profile because they are formed when a single fertilized egg divides.
The lab, Orchid Cellmark, hopes to identify those differences to distinguish between the DNA of a pair of twins from Grand Rapids, Mich. The DNA of both men matches a semen sample from a November 1999 rape that was committed by one man.
In June, Cooper's twin brother, Tyrone, was matched to the same rape after he was arrested on an unrelated charge.

 Twin Spark Engine Swap Alternatives - Alfa Romeo Bulletin Board & Forums
Kevin was saying that to get that kind of reliable power from a twin spark requires forged pistons and H section con rods in addition to the 45mm carbs and 300 degree cam.
Since it looks like it will cost over $1000 to get the twin spark engine before rebuild costs, and the cost of the mods to get to about 170 HP is higher, it seem like modifying the single spark is the best/cheapest alternative.
One was a duff set of used spark plug wires (I should have known better!); the other was the angle at which I had mounted the "Steck dumb distributor".

 G20.net Forums - Twin Spark Interest?
On a more negative note, I know that when Porsches are twin sparked, it is a major PITA, the entire engine has to be disassambled, flipped over and drilled into and threaded with a secondary set of plugs, as well as wiring.
One problem that cropped up after the decision to adopt the twin-spark design for the Hemi: The basic architecture of the Hemi head meant that the two spark plugs had to be situated slightly offset from one another, which adds a step in the machining of the head.
Twin spark does have a real world application, most all airplanes have dual ignition systems, and pretty much everything important to the running of the engine are redundant.

 Spark plugs ignite rivalry
Japan's automotive giant Honda Motor Company has expressed an intention to use two spark plugs in its motorcycles in the 100-125 cc class as a method of reducing friction in the engine.
When contacted, a Bajaj Auto spokesperson claimed that the twin spark plug system was introduced by Bajaj over a year back with the launch of the Pulsar DTSi and the company had applied for a patent for this technology both in India and major overseas markets.
Honda intends to apply the twin spark plug technology, along with a variable cylinder management system for motorcycles that apparently improve fuel economy by 30 per cent, to mass-market products and then expand the number of models equipped with these technologies in order to improve the environment performance of motorcycles.

Posted - 09/14/2004 : 09:13:17 AM Hi, I recently bought a 1987 d21 pickup with the z24i 4 cylinder engine.
I put new plugs, wires, distributor, & rotor in it, and I'm trying to figure out how the twin spark works.
Before I put the new stuff in, the exhaust side coil wire and plug on the distributor were completely burned and broken off, but the truck still ran decent, but rough at idle, especially when in gear.
