Coil on Plug options
Turbo Mini Forums

I'm going to use "superseal" (rather than "econoseal") in the engine bay but the largest they come in is 6 way.
IRRC, econoseal is even less which is why I've drawn it out for the superseal ones.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

I might just separate the ECU signals and earth into a 5/6 pin and then a 2 pin for the 12v and earth. There going off to separate components anyway.

Superseal sounds favourite.

I found them cheapest here

Not one of the normal suppliers, but if you know better, let me know, I'll be ordering shortly.

There are 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 13 way econoseal connectors.

Try Polevolt

I used polevolt for my connectors, can't fault their service!

1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

Hmmm,

I don't normally look at Polevolt as you have to down load their catalogue as a pdf and can't order online.

I might be a bit out of date as the last one I downloaded was July08 and I can see 2,3,4,6 and 13 but no 8 or 10s....

I shall look again as I would really like a "waterproof" connector greater than 6 way but I don't really want 13

Hi, new member here. I've been following Paul S's progress on his sequential injection project for a while now. I don't own a Mini, but I'm working on a similar project: MGB 'B' series 1800. It shares some of the same challenges as the Mini 'A' series, in that it has the siamesed inlet ports, and a 5-port head.

I'm working on the ignition right now and have been putting together much the same setup for that as Paul. I'd like to share a little bit of what I've found. I'm using a slightly different LS2 coil - the ones without the heatsinks, but they share the same connectors. I found the mating connectors at several places here in the US and ordered a few. The connector is a "Delphi Metripack 150" series, 8-cavity.
These are the part numbers and the prices from the place I ordered from:

Hope this helps.

Excellent...good info. Thanks.

Good first post Gerald! :)

Hang on a minuit lads



I have four of these

How much are they worth to those who need them?

I've made mods to the rev3 board to set up for 4-sparks, 5V logic level output. This is basicly my implementation of what's documented here:
http://www.msextra.com/ms2extra/MS2-Extra_Ignition.htm
toward bottom of page 'ground switching'

I used a 2n2222 to build the 4th 'spark-D' circuit, just copying the other 3 LED drive circuits.

The LS2 coil appears to want a high-going pulse for the dwell period. This means set the spark output setting in "Ignition Options" to "Going Low (Normal)". My understanding is that it has a built in dwell limiter though, so if you go over something like 5ms setting it just internally limits it to about 5ms.

Here's a scope trace of the IGN output that's driving spark A from the modified circuit, at 1.5ms dwell (the other 3 spark signals look the same):

Gerald,

Just a little advice: you should clean the flux off the board. It can cause annoying problems because it can be conductive or become conductive after a while (because it absorbs moisture).

Use isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) to clean the board (99% works best).

Yes, I will do that, thanks.
I just made the mods this evening, but it will get cleaned next. :)

The rest of the board was already cleaned before.

Better now?

Looks goooooood! :)

I'm glad to know you were already planning to do it. Hopefully someone else will learn something.

sorry to be thick, but what is the main advantage of coil on plug?

Apart from a neater install, and no HT leads.

What I suppose I'm asking is will it make my engine have more power?

It got to be better than a shagged out coil from an old fiesta.

Who knows what the advantage will be at 25 psi boost - maybe you should try it.
