 BTW how many people on here are planning on using RX8 coils?

 I might be prematurely worried.

Hi Paul

I am planning at this stage to use the RX8 coils that I have.

Steve Izett

Can you read the part numbers on the side of them. It is usually
very faint so you might need bright sunlight.

BTW please call Ian and give him a heads up. I think he is
using the early RX8 coils in his rotary powered RV6 as well.
He may have one or more bad coils and not know about it.

He had some failures with his RX* coils. This was attributed to Tracy's EC2 having the wrong dwell setting. He now runs another aftermarket ECU (can't remember which) and non RX8 coils.
Me thinks, but could be wrong.

I'll check my coils when I get home from the office.

Great info Steve. The plot thickens :)
As I recall Ian is now using a HalTech. I think HalTech is
an Aussi company. The dwell can be set on a HalTech.
