cygnusx1 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Everywhere I look I see aftermarket ignition coils for L28's but none for L28ET's. What gives? and why is the L28ET coil so rare or hard to get? My stock turbo one is fine but if I had to replace it or upgrade it I would be SOL unless I could find a new Nissan one. What is the difference between the N/A and Turbo coil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleaf Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Not sure if the stock turbo coil is any hotter than the N/A but an ignition coil is an ignition coil. It makes no diffrence. You can run any coil you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayAreaZT Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Suposedly the Z31 coil is supposed to be hotter than the l28et coil. Never saw any proof of it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayZee Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 The only thing special about the 280zxt coil is the trigger box. That trigger will run a z31 coil, msd, ect.. Just a little re-wiring of the connectors is all you need to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 What do you mean by trigger box? Are you talking about that capacitor or transistor that sits on the 280ZXT coil bracket with connectors that look like this "-|" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayZee Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Yes, the transistor that mounts right there with the coil. There are other transistor units that will work if you need to replace that too. I have used ones from Pathfinders, z31's, Pulsars, even a Mercury Villager/Quest. Again, a little re-wiring is required. The one that gives you the cleanest looking install IMO is the 80's Pathfinders and early Pulsars Here is a pic of my 76 with a Pathfinder coil/trigger that 4pin plug is how it plugs in. ftp://ftp.shaw.ca/Alckyinjection/Nozzles.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarang Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Can't seem to get your link to work..... Also, in my experience, I fried a few of the trigger transistors when using an MSD coil without the proper resistor inline. I ordered the proper MSD ballast resistor and all was well. If you stick with a coil that has roughly the same resistance, I think you should be alright. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
