DuffyMahoney Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 A few of you may know this. But last year I designed and made a coil on plug bracket based of Bryan Blake’s ford coil on plug design. It uses the Nissan coil head used on the Nissan GTR R35. Works perfectly, bolts on and you can even buy a very nice pre made wiring harness from platinum racing products. Coils are fairly cost effective. Takes a specific boot (2-3 actually work) to work. It’s one of the best coils on the market. I believe only the AEM coil beats it. Basically he took my design based off of his, then fixed some of my issues and is now selling them. Bottom pictures are my bracket installed on my 240z. Email Bryan to place and order. Eventually he will sell on eBay. bryan@blakemachine.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossman Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I'd love to have one. Email sent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowlerMonkey Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 What I've found is that coils designed to be protected from the elements by a deep tube in the cylinder head are often less durable......at least the portion that the manufacturer assumed would be protected by the tube. Has anybody tested these types of coils with a misting of water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowlerMonkey Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 No, that doesn't help but I am curious how the coil head is sealed to the plug "boot" to gain that level of water proofing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuffyMahoney Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Sort of soft boot gets pressed over a rigid bump in the coil. Very snug and very water resistant. I would say outside of submerging the car, it would be sealed against cleaning and rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickytic Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Very nice job on installing the coil over plugs. I would like to do something similar but just can't find a post that show how to wire them up. All i keep seeing is to buy megasquirt. Is there another way with out spending all that money when you don't want or need all that the megasquirt offers. Need help!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calZ Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 No. You need aftermarket engine management if you want to go fully sequential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 IGC0079 is the coil from the GT-R and should be used for boosted engines. The IGC0003 is for 350 Z's and G35's and don't provide enough spark under boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuffyMahoney Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 According to Platinum Racing a few other companies that have test the coils, the head are actually identical. The only thing that Nissan changed was the spring and boot length. Pretty common in the car world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) Plenty of test showing more than twice the energy from the REAL R35 coils - they are the only ones that are second to the AEM coils.

rossman Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 This seems like some legitimate testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosch P100-T coils are twice the spark energy as the R35 coils and about $100/coil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting looking coil You could perhaps just simply download the Bosch P100-T Coil PDF file and see they put out in excess of 100mJ spark energy.

DuffyMahoney Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 In testing the R35 coil came in 2nd against the coils they tested. No clue on the P100-T. The r35 coils are 40-50 each new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuffyMahoney Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 Yeah I was told to stay away from the Hanshin coils. I have the hitachi. The audi coils get used a lot in the Z world. Nice looking as well. The hitachis are around 50$ here. So it's fairly hard to beat price wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
