trav_555 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 ok, well i bought a 4k with a 5k elec dizzy, do i need to change my coil or can i leave him the same as stock one?? Need help urgently? and if i do need to change it what do i change it to? Travis Quote
KE ping it real Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) Hey Travis Go to a wrecker and get yourself a High energy coil or at least a Medium energt coil :P It will work with the standard one but you aren't getting the full potential Edited October 15, 2008 by KE ping it real Quote
SLO-030 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) you could take of the ceramic ballast resistor maybe. but just goto the wreckers and grab a coil of car without points. I'm running a Bosch GT40 High energy coil on my ute which has an electronic ignition. Ive heard they are very good coils, havent had a problem with mine. just a note, i know with Bosch and maybe other high energy coils have a part number starting with HEC (stands for High Energy Coil :P) Edited October 15, 2008 by KE25 KID Quote
trav_555 Posted October 15, 2008 Author Report Posted October 15, 2008 ok, cheers, and how much are they, dammnit i don't have any money since head gasket blew :P :( Travis Quote

trav_555 Posted October 15, 2008 Author Report Posted October 15, 2008 you know how much a hec one is? Quote

trav_555 Posted October 15, 2008 Author Report Posted October 15, 2008 ok sweet as, ill see if i can find one tomorow, need to sell some ebay shit to get some cash.... Travis Quote
Medicine_Man Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 You must use the correct coil to suit the distributer, Taking the ballast resistor off one thats meant for a points system will slowly kill it. f@$k the shit bosch coils, Find a good denso one and you will never regret it.. Quote

When I got my 4KEU electronic dizzy, it came with an Echlin coil that needed a resistor, that worked perfectly fine...agree on the Bosch crap though, Denso stuff is heaps better Quote
Falken_KE30 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 I got a coil that came off a RA60 celica, had Electric Dizzy. Not sure if that coil would suit you, but ill check to see if its a HEC later and ill pm you if you interested. Just pay postage and she yours. Dan Quote

Dan sounds good man. so long as its a hec, if you can find out the brand of it as well that would be tops. thanks for reply's, and yea id prefer to get a hec one than wrecking my original coil.

Falken_KE30 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) O i so forgot to check.... ill go check now haha Ok went checked It has NIPPONDENSO 029700 - 5000 12v use with Igniter Written on it Edited October 16, 2008 by Falken_KE30 Quote
trav_555 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Posted October 16, 2008 ok, so does that mean its a hec? its a denso yeww Quote
