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?

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?

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.

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

DarkBrew

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.

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...
