What are they Sprocket ???

Are they the 8 way "econoseal" that I can't find on even the current PoleVolt catalogue (page 13 has only 2,3,4,6 and 13 way) or are they yet another make of "sealed" connector ???

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

You have a PM Sprox.

they are thye connectors that are a direct fit on the LS2 coils like the ones in the picture at the top of page2 in this topic.

It was not until I saw the information that was posted on page 3 that I realised I had those exact connectors in my wiring box

We hope to do some testing with the new sequential ECU soon, so I need to get the CNPs mounted in the car:



Simple bit of aluminium angle and some spacers. I can even use the GM loom :)

Pierce 5-Port Head Paul?

Can we have a look at it if so?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Zzzzzzzaaap!

Getting like hens teeth those little coils !!

Ive been trying to buy some on egay for a while now. They only have the less powerful versions

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

If you search ebay on the part number 19005218 a few come up.

Some look like cheap copies though.

Yea, there are copies available. They are to be avoided.

For a while, there was plenty of them about, should've bought back then !!

best to buy OE coils complete with brackets and the short loom though.

Bit of a post excavation.
Could I use 4 of these as CNP?: (I want to run them via a MS3X)

(has transistor module on bracket)

I can get these (real Bosch versions, no copies) for nearly nothing.
The thing that worries me is I think I need to find out dwell times and spark duration, don't I?

Dazed and Confused....

As long as it works with a 5V signal, it should be fine.

And you will need to find the dwell time (spark duration is pretty much irrelevant; just use the default). The quick and dirty way is to start with a low value and increase it incrementally until the module (or the coil) starts to warm up. Then go back down a bit.

The better method is to measure the current with a scope and see where it levels off but with the high voltage involved, it takes specialized equipment.

Thanks Jean,
I have access to equipment at a friendly garage and probably be able to measure it in the car these originally comes from (Volvo 850/V70).
Thanks again, much appreciated.

coil comes with the amp on the volvos, so you would need 4 coil + amp assemblies. and yes youll need to find out the dwell times. tbo there are much more compact and modern setups out there with the igniter built into the coil.

if it helps i have a customer coming in tomorrow who has decided to buy 4 copy coils for an rx8. the genuine ones are compact and pack a decent punch so will be trying the copies to see how they roll (customer has been warned they will most likely be shit). built in ignitors too.

Thanks guys.
I thought the 'black box' was the amplifier and I would just need a 'trigger signal'?
Dwell times will be relatively easy; I can hook up an 850 at the garage and find out.

The reason for going after these is that I would like to use my MS3X for the clubman estate aswell, I was going for some cheaper ones because I will need 8 of em.

Having said that, clubman will take a while..

Denis, you have PM.
