pecx Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Quick question on the SP500. Did you wire those LS1 coil directly to ECU or additional ignition box ? Are you runnuing semi-sequential or waste? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenman Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 PECX: LS-1 and all LS coils have built in ignition drivers. No additional module or ignition box is required. Coils are triggered directly from ECU via 5v trigger wire. LS-X coils are direct fire coils, which means you would run 1 coil per cylinder. My 76 280Z will be getting Haltech this winter. I picked up a used E-11. Still gathering parts. Have to locate Z31 chopper wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenman Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Note: A lot of people call the all of the GM coils by the Generic name of " LS-1 ". But be aware that there are numerous versions of the " LS-x " series's coil. LS-1, LS2, LS-2 Truck/Yukon LS-3 and LS-7 coils etc. True LS-1 coils are the lowest output of the bunch, while LS-2 Truck/Yukon coils ( with Heatsink ) are the strongest. More important is that early LS-1 coils have a different wiring hookup than later coils. They use the same terminal as later coils ( LS-2, LS-3,LS-7 etc ) but the wiring order is different on the early LS-1 coils. Mega Squirt has wiring diagrams for both types of coils.

pecx Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Chickenman Thanks for the info. One more silly question do you know what kind of thread for the water sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenman Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 What engine are you running? IDK??? Or more specifically, what lower thermostat housing? Stock 280Z ECU CTS thread size is M12 x 1.5mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
