Hi guys,
I wanted to replace the coil in my EL XR8 as I am doing some work to the engine soon. I bought a factory replacement from Bursons and the car hasnt been running that well, I tested it and the Secondary resistance is already out of spec. I put the origianl factory one in and its running better. What coils do people recommend for the factory ignition system? I have heard the MSD ones are no good. Any recommendations?? |

I've had good results with Cranes' PS91 or 2. Better still with a Hi-6 of course.

And that coil will mount up to the factory loom without any modifications? Will it mount into the factory mount?
Thanks |

Yep and that's the PS series coils not the LX series which frankly, are s**t.

Is one better suited than the other for my application?

Use the 91 if you're only using just the coil but the 92 if you're using the CDI Hi-6. Read their website to be sure. Even a Hi-6 with the stock Ford coil is way better than just changing the coil.

Well worth the outlay and works brilliantly, Plug and play as well. Brett

Ok guys. I have decided I am going to get one of these ignition boxes too. My car is a EL XR8 and will have GT40P heads, full exhaust, all the standard bolt ons etc, so very mild but I want to get it tuned to make the most out of it and that means having a great ignition system.
Will there be a good benifit using the system on my combo? What should I open the plugs up to to make the most of it with the PS92 coil as recommended above? What is involved in wiring it up Terrorist? Is there any adaptors I should buy to make it plug and play etc?? Thanks for all the info guys. |
