Bosch

There are several common coils in the Australian Bosch GT coil range.

• GT40: an oil filled conventional type coil, 3 ohm
• GT40R: same as GT40, but 1.5 ohm for use with a ballast resistor
• GT40T: a 'transformer' style coil potted in epoxy, 3 ohm
• GT40RT: same style as GT40T, but 1.5 ohm

GT40R or GT40RT can be used as a direct replacement for the stock 1200 coil, but is less powerful than the stocker 1.3 ohm coil.

Bosch Blue
The Bosch black coil uses varnish & tar in its construction, the blue coil uses Formavar (a high temp varnish) and polypropylene. In theory, the blue coil should hold up better at higher temperatures but users report that both coils do about the same.

GT40R

Primary Resistance: 1.2 ohms
Secondary Resistance: 8-10 Kohms

GT40RT

Primary Resistance: 1.5 ohms
Secondary Resistance: 8.6 Kohms

Bosch EI
Bosch HEC715 is used with electronic ignition.

Primary Resistance: 0.41 ohms
Secondary Resistance: 7.8 Kohms
