I've heard that LS1 ignition coils are a possible alternative to stock coils in the RX-8. Has anyone done this and if so could you please provide any information I might need to do this myself.

wouldn't it be easier to ask the person that told you that it would be a good alternative?

Where the heck u got that from ?

Stop making stuff up or *guessing*

Well arent you guys helpfull. My friend heard about it .(heard about it). I have also seen 3 rotor 20.b articles about using LS1 ignition coils in place of stock coils .
I was just asking a question and I'm not making anything up. What s up with the snappy ignorant remarks?

Oh they need something to do... LOL

Thanks . I'll let this thread go for a bit before pming anyone. As for asking why the 2 first posters on this thread bashed me for asking a valid question, Ive started a thread "Why do people do this ? " in the lounge. Feel free to comment there.

Still the question remains "can LS1 ignition coils be used as a alternative to stock ignition coils.Pro/Cons? Possible? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Don't worry about them dude, they are just trying to get their post counts up.

^ he's right :lol:

But no proof has been posted yet.

Now that thats out of the way .Theres nothing here for you to comment on statictard so please wander off

No one searches AND no one follows links (post #5 above)

I'll make it easy for you

From RPM's post
My plan for this is to use a T04R BB turbo on the stripped down Renesis block and control everything with a new Haltech E6X using LS1 coils, which is the same turbo and ignition setup we used on our FC racecar that made 320whp at 11psi on pump fuel.

I dont have info and it was rumoured. Thats why I'm here asking a question.. I've googled it and found that they are being utilized by rx7 and 2.0b owners.
If you dont know anything about it , someone will..

Thanks dark brew .I didnt get that .I couldnt see it for all the ar$holes in the way. I'm reading .Thank you. I will contact him.

There's a lot a chaff mixed with the wheat :banghead:

Any coil will "work".
Will it plug in? No.
There are no coils that will plug in, even if you had the right conversion harness.
The OE RX-8 coils are, apparently, the only positive-trigger "smart" coils on the planet.
LSx coils are negative-going trigger.
Now, if you want to build an interface...

Hey there Look back a few posts I said thanks to darkbrew. I'm looking to RPM for advice on this one.
Your not helping? Looks like you have nothing ,so why say anything?

I'm learning that LS2 coils wont work for that reason,but LS1 will. IF you have any usefull information please get back and post it

mazdamaniac gave me nothing just as you did. You didnt cover anything (did he?)NO. all you have done is
bash my thread and reasons for asking,even after a intelligent member helped. Anyways I'm sick of your long winded farts.Please stop it stinks

As with the "other" thread, I'm out.

Your welcome to leave this thread if you cant contribute in a positve manner

Seems like you can't read very well. MazdaManiac gave you the answer. As others have said as well as him, it CAN be made to work but noone has attempted it yet.

Don't get mad because it wasn't the answer you wanted. Its like going to the bank and asking for a million dollars. When they tell you NO, are you going to have a hissy fit? I would hope not.

Actually to be fair he gave me his answere and I'll admit it is an answere but not the only one. Surely one person cant answere for all rx-8 owners.I am having a local shop owner/builder research it before he does it.
He's busy for next 2 weeks so I thought I could help him myself and other members by committing a thread
specific to this subject to encourage feedback from people currently using ls1 coils in their 8's if any and members who may know details ,wiring etc.
I wasnt demanding info . I didnt rant about not getting information at any point. I'm puzzled at how ignorant some of you are..Bashing me for asking a question in a thread . Even though I couldnt find anything searching Keywords " LS1 coil or LS1 ignition"

What the #$%. The answere! like its the only one. Come on ! Get your head out of mazdamaniacs behind and read the thread in order! the only person that helped was darkbrew and a few others reasured me that those of you who bashed me and others were just a bunch of pricks and theres no cure .
