What happened to this?

***TitaniumTT*** · 01-02-2013, 05:58 PM

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

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.

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

C. Ludwig · 01-09-2013, 04:55 AM

How many amps will the Subaru ignitor support?

PSI · 01-11-2013, 03:12 AM

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
