Has anyone got any experience of the pencil coil's used on modern cars and bike's?

as i'm going megasquirt with my 7 port and will shortly be making the plenum i'm toying with using these to eliminate plug leads, and hanging them of the bottom of each of the intake runners.

What i want to know is are the particuarly prone to packing up and roughly how much current they draw (or their primary resistance).

Cheers,

Joe

In my experience on modern stuff they seem much more prone to packing up than a coil pack or old style coil.

I wouldn't bother personally.

VW and BMW had problems - or to be correct Bosch did!

They are fine in the main - but not worth it on our engines.

Besides you would need twice as many coil drivers.

I was thinking of fitting these to my enigne, the ones for the hiabusa (spelling??) engines are really compact, no more HT leads. I would still one them in wasted spark.

You could easily run them as wasted spark - but if you have coil on plug why not use it?

jim , im running the hayabusa ones on the bike ,running a magnetic pickup for one cyl and another for the other with a 1 toothed trigger wheel ,the pulse goes from the pickups to a pair of astra modules (4 pin) that switch the feed on and off (as the tooth passes the pickup) to the plug coils ,it works well.and on a bike with my cyl pressure ,not a missfire in sight at 10800 and 22 psi boost on occasion.
