Wasted Spark Ignition

[Kevs]

Hey guys, i recently got myself a jzx100 mark 2 and decides to do minor service on my car. I bought 6 spark plugs from supercheap and happens to me that the 1jzgte vvti is running a called wasted spark ignition system. and i was like wt*... i did a few hour research on the internet goggling every information about it and turn out nothing appreciable. SO my question will be do i need only 3 spark plugs to power the 1jzgte vvti or i still need 6? Cheers

6 plugs mate

Someone may be able to correct me, but my limited knowledge on Wasted Spark is that basically it would have 3 coils that each fire 2 plugs at the same time?

Exactly.

Wasted spark just means two plugs fire at the same time, one during the compression stroke and one during the exhaust stroke. The one during the exhaust stroke does nothing, hence wasted.

hmm, i really dont mean to be a prick man, but...

if you somehow thought that there might be the slightest possibility of your 6 cyl. engine only needing 3 spark plugs... well lets just say if i were you i'd have someone show you how to do it for your first time that is all...

other wise your next post may be something a little more embarrassing/severe

Thanks,
