Confused Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Hi, Do I need to do anything special to get R8 coils working on my Evo 1-3 PnP ECU? Any resistors needed adding or changes to spark edge settings? I know I'll need to adjust dwell times accordingly. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 I think it should be ok. You will obviously have to wire them in pairs to fire in wasted spark still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confused Posted March 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Thanks for the quick reply, Adam, much appreciated! Yeah still wired as wasted spark unfortunately, I wish you'd not used IGN4 for ECU hold power! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that adapter board probably hasnt been updated since the older G4 days when the plug-in ECU's back then only had 4 ign outputs.

Confused Posted November 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 I finally got round to actually trying to run the engine this week with the R8 coils after fitting them back in March - after setting the new dwell times (from another post of yours @Adamw with settings for ~1.4 bar), it fired up and ran beautifully! I'd still like to look at modifying the base board to remove the link between ECU Hold Power from DI3/AI4 so I could go sequential, but it'll do for now!!
