zedman240 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Just curious if anyone here has setup a distributorless ignition setup on a L series engine with crank angle sensor etc. About to remove the RB25DE and install a fresh L24 with cam etc and thought I'd keep my wasted spark coil pack and 3 chanel module for use with the L series. Still keeping the Wolf V500 ECU though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators RTz Posted February 16, 2009 Administrators Share Posted February 16, 2009 Just curious if anyone here has setup a distributorless ignition setup on a L series engine with crank angle sensor etc. I've done it a couple times. So has Hughdogz & KTM. Easiest way is to use the '83-'84 280zxt CAS sensor. search for EDIS EDIS isn't directly compatible with Wolf.

z-ya Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I'm using LS1 coils with my old Wolf 3D v3.0 ECU. The LS1 coils have a hot spark and have the coil drivers built in. They are operating in a wasted spark configuration. There are three 5V ignition outputs used from the Wolf, each one drives two LS1 coils. Kind of looks like a science project, but I like it.

Administrators RTz Posted February 16, 2009 Administrators Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hey Pete! I didn't know you had finished that up. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-ya Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Thanks Ron! Just finished it today. It was my Presidents Day off project. Was getting tired of looking at the box of LS1 coils and wires. Seems to run great (on jack stands....). Will get it on the dyno sometime this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 We finally get to see the finished product! I know that you were talking about mounting them to the valve cover, but for the life of me could not figure out how (without modifying the cover itself). Looks good!

ShaggyZ Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Looks awesome possum! Can Wolf do non-wasted spark? Seems like a "waste" to have six fancy coils and go wasted spark. Though, z-ya's setup looks dynamite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Um, yes? Check out my, RTz and Hughdogz setups. All of us are running sequential setups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V4 will go sequential ignition up to 4 cylinders, V4+ 6 cylinders, and V500 is capable of 8 cylinder sequential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-ya Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Thanks Guys, My old Wolf 3D V3 only does wasted spark, and alternating injection. Using the LS1 coils is actually a bit better than wasted spark where a single coil is shared to fire two plugs. In that configuration, one plug has slightly less spark energy than the other. With a separate coil on each plug you get equal spark energy to each plug. I started just experimenting with mounting them on an old valve cover, but it came out nice, so I decided to paint it up. This is how I mounted them. - Coils are centered on the plug holes in the head. - Holes are 2.25" from the valve cover gasket surface - Spacers are 3/8 aluminum tubing cut to 1" lengths - Bolts are 1/4-20 stainless binder head - A small amount of silicone one each bolt - Loctite I used an 8 pin sealed connector (left over from an RB harness), so all you need to do is unbolt the cover, disconnect the 8 pin plug and plug wires and you can lift the valve cover off.

rossman Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 z-ya - Looks nice! What spark plug wires did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-ya Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 z-ya - Looks nice! What spark plug wires did you use? They are just generic parts store Camaro LS1 wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedman240 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 Thanks for the response! I love your setup Pete! Looks excellent. Might hunt around for LS1 coils down here. I'm afraid to find out actually! Where did you source yours from? new or second hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenshinX Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 How much did you pay for those coils z-ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 You can find the coils for $75 on ebay for a set of 8 which is what I paid about 1.5 years ago for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossman Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 $75 is a good deal. I paid $23 each for my '00 - 06 GMC Yukon D581 UF-271 C120 coils from this ebay seller: http://stores.ebay.com/alanisdeals06. They look slightly different though. Mine work with Ron's bracket.

z-ya Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I got them on Ebay. Don't remember how much but they were cheap because one out of eight had physical damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
