Re: $36 Replacement ignition coils?
I am really wishing I had paid more attention in the electrical part of physics class.
What I have gathered from talking with Matt is that you can just put 6 ignitor thingies inside the Megasquirt itself. Also, the LS2 coils have ignitors built in that match them, so using those particular coils with the Megasquirt might be a good idea, just for simplicity's sake. SMC, I have the megasquirt stuff about 75% figured out. Would you be interested in trying it too? You are going to be needing some kind of engine management anyway.

Re: $36 Replacement ignition coils?
I was looking in depth into the hydra systems, as I plan on running a few different stages of ignition. The latest version of Hydra has provisions in the programming for launch control and a few different levels of antilag.
Currently, Im looking as MSD coils with a 0.680 ohm and 0.700 ohm primary resistance. Hmm. |

I was thinking to get a hydra, but an MS3 would be around $1k cheaper. Means more money to go to hardware. But the hydra would definitely be easier. You mean MSD ignition?

Re: $36 Replacement ignition coils?
With the stock ecu, the new coils are working like a champ. Zero issues as of yet. Ive put over 6,000 miles on them. And most of that was 'spirited' driving including a few autocross events and one open track day with the scca. Fine from idle to the rev limiter.

Re: $36 Replacement ignition coils?
Thanks for the update. I needed to make sure of this before making the change

Re: $36 Replacement ignition coils?
So Mr. Harvey, what would be the risk of running these coils long-term on the stock ecu with no modifications to the timing at all?

Plug Wires for this setup
Tried to fit several things to the inlets, but came up with this.
The wire set can be shortened, if you like, and if you have the detail talent. As they are, there is no greater difficulty, then re-inserting the original "Coil on Plug" configuration. Can someone explain how to inline the pictures, instead of attaching. Thanks

Re: $36 Replacement ignition coils?
Thanks for the help. I jumped in and did all 6 coils and it has cleared up my rough engine. So, for the full price of 1 new Coil on Plug, I got a full set of this option. Yahhhh

Re: $36 Replacement ignition coils?
considering how far down that spark plug is how difficult was it to connect a normal spark plug wire to the plug?

Trying to get a regular wire on it is pretty hard, being that it's hard to feel the "click" when it's locked in place, and chasing that far in, to get ON the plug.

Re: $36 Replacement ignition coils?
Any updates on this? I think my car may be having rough idle because of a weak coil and im doing everything i can before putting money in to a new replacement coil.
