Anyway anyone want these standard coils even just for spares maybe.
Cheers Luke

I can't argue with the overheating logic.

But when people say "CA coils are crap, go get spark leads and external coils", it makes me annoyed.

I have several spare coils, so I'm not afraid to use them. I am aware of the potential for overheating them and their potential to fail in the hot Australian climate.

If I kill more than 2 coils in 12 months. I will also be switching to external coils.

As a side note:
My CA18 in my 1200 worked for about 150,000kms, and 7 years without a coil failure.

better safe then sorry, especially if you are chasing some decent hp

Standard setup is fine but interferance and overhaeting problems with standard CA18DET coils is common so removing them and replacing them with an aftermarket setup just gives me a bit more piece of mind and the wolf ecu im using does not require this setup but will perform better with the M&W.
Not to mention when the standard coils do over heat and #### them selves they are $70 a hit from the wreckers with no idea if they even work.

i agree with both of you, but for the price of something that can be wired into a stk computer, it would be one less thing to worry about for whenfuture mods require it.

to support the std setup, guys in england and the states are using it for cars with well over 300rwhp.

I agree Chris, and basically where i was going with that.

I know when i thought i had ignition problems and was about to outlay for an entire new system that 0.7mm plug gap instead of 1mm made all the difference!

Apparently alot of these big hp skylines have the factory ignition still.

I see aftermarket ignition setups as a little unnecessary (Unless after market ECUs require it).

I have heard only rumours that the multicoil and factory transistor pack are unreliable with a high performance engine.

I am willing to run with my theory. That many "poorly performing cars" have owners/friends who have shares in aftermarket auto accessory stores.

There are noted RF/DC interference problems with the CA's ignition setup. But keep it clean, and don't use cheap electronics in the car, and it won't be a problem.

It's all good..no matter what ignition is chosen.
Chris

did you have any problems with the nissan setup?

why the new setup?

I have used M&W on all my cars never had a problem.

That sounds ok... Are they meant to be good?
