HA HA - this is a great learning thread for sure. Have you called Ulf yet? He is in Germany. I don't think he knows I am posting these messages. You know that I will not call him - I'm coil illiterate.

I do have to ask that if the ecu does in fact monitor the coils firing, how does the Interceptor and other ecu's fire them with the connection to the factory ecu disconnected and yet there is no error code for it?

If the ECU monitored the firing it would also reflect the actual timing in CAN bus scans made with the CanScan and Scanalyser...not the timing that the ECU thinks it is sending to the coils. I wonder what the timing profile on the Can bus looks like on an Interceptor X equiped car looks like

^It looks exactly like stock, of course.

The answer is - Ulf has no idea.
The plasma coils may, in fact, have exactly the same dwell characteristics as the OEM coils.
But he doesn't know.

With the Interceptor installed, when you look at the Canscan, it shows the stock timing and not that of the Interceptor.

so basically a car with an EMS, the OEM pcm still reads what the timing should be, whereas its not controllin the timing at all, the EMS is, therefore thats why the PCM isnt throwing any igntion codes...........??? am i understandin this right?? reason im askin im tryin to upgrade my ignition system on the stock PCM, then go fuel upgrades n finally turbo with EMS...........problem is i dont know how much trouble im gonna be gettin into, with tryin to splice some wires to get the Aftermarket coils hooked up.............if anyone that has stock PCM with aftermarket coils hooked up if u can send me a pm on how it went, how its goin after, n how hard it was to do it, i would appreciate it......

I saw upgraded coils over at Pettit racing. Not sure when they're going to be selling them, but I think it's soon.

Sorry just wanna ask if this Okada Coils are better than BHR coils?

Never heard of Okada coils

BHR doesn't make coils, it's a company that uses D585 coils in a custom made ignition kit specifically for RX8s.

Okki-Jakarta

Thanks! Okada's killer price tho. 800USD

Okki-Jakarta

Mark my words, I WILL WAIT FOR YOU!

The shipping cost and tax is crazy from US, but if it's just one set i guess hand carrying is the best way.. but who'a coming? LOL

Okki-Jakarta ,the BHR kit is bulletproof and I love it. Had mine for almost 8years and it still performs flawlessly. Don't know anything about the Okada.

Okki-Jakarta

Yeap i emailed charles from BHR already.. inquiring shipping cost to my place.

Alot of misfire (all the time, when cold when hot not that much or i dont notice) lately, already running on new stock coils, new plugs, cleaned my MAF sensor, dont have a cat (no emission tests in indonesia), just had a rebuild (100 miles ago?) just started premixing (every 50l(98 octane) i put roughly 200ml-ish idemitsu 2cycle oil in the tank).

Really hoping to get good parts.

I ran a set of used Okada coils for a year or so. They're just a modified OE coil. Frankly I'd recommend just running the latest version of the OE coil. You can buy a lot of those for the same price. Otherwise if your dead set on aftermarket then you might consider a set of the IGN-1A coils from SBG if they will ship international, which I'm pretty sure they do. I wouldn't have jumped in otherwise except the competition already stated they don't sell to your location.

Edit: well maybe not, thought they had a rhd version, but I only see lhd. I suppose you could ask. I don't know that it matters for this part and engine location.
