Cheap and simple high voltage igniter :)

Harnessing precision mixtures of pressurized flammable vapor. Not for the beginner.

2KV isn't really enough to be usable as an igniter, really need at least 10x that voltage.

It was more of a guide, it could easily be changed to output higher voltages

Not really. The hard part is getting the high voltage transformer then finding a transistor (mosfet ...) that'll take the current. The link is just a basic flyback circuit. It is a non-trivial exercise to convert a couple KV flyback into a tens of KV flyback circuit.
