Dan McIntyre Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 I have purchased a link g3 and 2 of the two channel ignitors and plan to run direct spark ignition. Due to the exhaust manifold and plug position I cannot run a coil on plug set up. Could you recommend a cheap readily available option for coils I can use with leads. A couple of options would be good. If you need any info. please post and i will put it up. Regards, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashesman Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Try using a Subaru V3-6 coil pack. Or an EVO/VR4 or Galant coil pack. Both options are 4 post wasted spark setups. You will only need one igniter and will free up two ignition channels for other use...

ashesman Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 People have used LS2 coils, but I think you need to make up special HT leads. You can use normal round can type coils as used on distributed engines. They are quite high energy but big and bulky. I have seen quite a few cases where people have run up to 600hp on four cylinder engines using two dual post coils. Our old Chevette runs about 450hp on a wasted spark. The problem is that direct spark coils are designed to to be mounted on plugs and don't really have the appropriate terminals to connect an HT lead. I dont know of any factory engines that ran direct spark and HT leads...

Dan McIntyre Posted November 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Wasted spark it is then. Explains why i couldn't find a solution myself. I was just concerned as above about the high cylinder pressures and getting a strong enough spark to keep it going. If i have problems then i can always think about going to direct spark and finding a solution then. Cheers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
