No updates on these being tested?

Not yet he has been busy doing a complete teardown/rebuild of the entire car. he even missed DGRRX



I think he has been slacking off too much lately.:rofl:

Yeah, my ASS... I need to schedule time to take a shit..... lemme put it to you this way, today - well, yesterday - was my "day off" yet I still went into work for a few hours, then away I went to PA. We fixed the 6-spd then I headed to jersey to pick up a new rear-end. Then I had a blow-out on the GWB - yeah - FL blew out @ 65 in the left lane. I hit a pot hole that would require about 27 ground up homeless people to fill, or 2 compacted honda's by the way FUCK YOU AAA AND THE CROOKED ASS RETARDED MOTHERFUCKING NYC TOWING CO'S THAT CAN'T FIND YOU WHEN YOU GIVE THEM A FUCKING MILE MARKER but thank God for 24hr tire shops in the Bronx and non-english speaking mofo's that don't stab/shoot you when you take thier own tools away from them... 5 hours later here I am passing the next 32 minutes before I hop a shower @ 4 to leave for work @ 4:30 on my "day off" Then it's a fabrication side job that has a deadline of Monday monring but the iron works place fucked me by three days so I need to pick up that material, build this fucking thing today then drop the rear subframe, set up some 4.3 gears that should be here today, a few little odds and ends and with any luck I'll be on the dyno next Friday for the base tune. Then the next time I get a "day off" I'll head back to the dyno for some alignment and cornerbalancing and test out the coils. So HOPEFULLY 3 weeks away.... hopefully. I've been so slammed for the last 2.5 months it's retarded.

Too bad you can't clone yourself TT. :) There are many days I wish we had that tech available...

:rofl: Funny you mention that, I've said it a few times and thoroughly enjoyed the family guy episode where Stewie clones himself

What happened to this?

Life got in the way and the cobblers son goes barefoot and my feet are too callassed to really care anymore

RX8 coils are worthless, no one came through with a MySparkDied box and the top contenders aer as they've always been, Quicksilver coils and TII coils, TII coils are a PITA to mount though, I have gotten the QS coils under the UIM of a 13B-RE before.

The QS coils did the same power wise as the M&W CDI setup, but the idle was MUCH better with the inductive coils, I've got a set of LS2 coils so I'll test those against the QS coils if I can find another set of them.

I was really looking forward for the Bosch coil results. I know Full Function Engineering is going or was going to put a kit together using these coils.

I was waiting for them but them FFE said he was having trouble sourcing the coils and didn't how long it was going to take to get the coils. So I went ahead and order a set of ign-1a race coils.

I love my Bosch coils, I plan on testing those vs the LS2 vs the QS coils to see who has it where it counts.

i recently bench tested LS2 truck coils and was not impressed. IGN-1As are decent, but im really impressed with factory FC coils which im going to stick with. im looking at using four FC trailling coils with a subaru 4-channel ignitor on my FD

Could you please explain this to me? thanks

if you look at an FC coil, the big metal piece is the ignitor, which is basically an amplifier for the ECU ignition signal. im planning on running four FC coils, but the factory ignitors take up too much space. you could go with an aftermarket 4-channel ignitor. i happen to have a wrx ignitor laying around

How many amps will the Subaru ignitor support?

The FC trailing coils are great coils and dirt cheap but if you want the most out of them you need to charge them to 8amps or more (6ms + at 14v from memory). I'm not familiar with WRX ignitors but if they are current limiting then they'll most likely be no good with FC coils since they will probably limit to 7amps and end up overheating and splitting coils. Mitsi Evo and GSR 2 channel ignitors are non-current limiting and work great. Microtech X4 ignitors also work well with FC coils and are non-current limiting.

The ign-1a coils are badass and far better than FC coils, and the fact that they have a built-in 19amp IGBT driver says something.

The ultimate inductive appears to be ICE coils, however I'm working on an ignitor than can cope with 4ms at 24v because nothing else can so far.

BTW the ign-1a coils make more hp than M&W Pro14R CDI. The trick is finding compatible spark plugs, at least with pump gas anyhow. Alcohol is probably no problem.

LOL at you and your thread on gayclub lol

Detonation can make some more power, not too good for your motor though ;)

Your "test" is about as impartial as an Investment Bank selling CDO's :gnorsi:

Why not use your FD igniter?


You should be able to get most of the info you need from this, just a few things that would be different on an FD.

How to: use a FD igniter on FC coils in an FC.

i finally tested the FD ignitor tonight, and it seems to have identical performance as the FC ignitor.. same output and saturates at 4.5ms just like FC.

the subaru ignitor seems to put out more current than the factory FC ignitor. i can squeeze another 25% energy out of the FC coil with the subaru ignitor at 4ms
