coils

[RICE RACING]

A customer of mine back in 2003 or so ran a FC motor with Microwreck ECU (inductive ignitors) with Bosch HEC coils in sequential fire mode (4 coil set up). This set up was water injected for our national dyno competition. This set up would not run without ICE primary voltage ignition boosters. Even so it still needed to run warm up spark plugs then get swapped out for race plugs at the competition........ needless to say it set a record for the most power achieved for a 13B and still drive off the dyno and back home until I engineered & tuned a set up that reset the record wich still stands to this day a few years later, but on a Full CDI equipped car.

Over the years I have tried many inductive set ups, coils, boosters, you name it and in my world of mega power turbocharged monsters they just never ever cut it without some type of limit being reached to get them to fire. Hence my very strong aversion to anything running them, since they just don't work in my experience.

I remember back in my first ever experiments of water injection in 1991 and I almost gave up on the whole idea, cause I just could not get it to work at all using Bosch 008 ignitors and coils. Lucky for me I learned more about ignition systems and realized just how limited non CDI types are. Again for some applications they can be fine, for the OP it may suffice for what he wants to do with his T2 motor and set up.
