Not an OEM coil. Seriously baller though, and the same price as the traditional . We need a sadfab bracket for these.

This thing is fun
I think those coils might need bigger wiring, Pat, did you upgrade your wiring to run them? I bet all your wiring is upgraded.
I am thinking of the D585 truck coils, the ign1a coils a bit more expensive but used D585's are available for considerably less.

EDIT: yeah, most wire is upgraded in the car. All the imporant stuff anyway. Fuel system, fans, radio, coils, etc.

I have been reading up on coils, the ign1a's are badass. I also think rx8 coils are similar to D585 coils at the 3.5ms dwell I will need to run with my ms2pnp. I may see if I can find some to try out and wire them as Pat suggested. Or I may just order some ign1a's.

Trying to figure out my coils. I made a plug wire with an old ngk, not happy with the boot though so I ordered some Taylor hei boots.
I am running the stock power wires to a relay for big wire power. I am planning to put a capacitor between each of the 2 trigger wires and ground. The mega manual suggested one 0.001uf per coil to keep spikes from getting back to the megasquirt, this seems like a good thing. As if my math challenged, crappy soldering *** has any idea what that means. I'm like, what the hell is a jigawatt?
Can I just use the 2 capacitors for the wasted spark trigger wires? Do they need to be a different value in this configuration, or do I just need one at each coil? I realize that they are optional but I want to keep everything in the ignition from possibly giving me trouble.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks!
Also another special thanks to Ian, Pat, and DKMakinson for teaching me how to diagnose and fix my lost sync problem. And they didn't even have to take any action, well Pat did.
Thanks a ton!

Bracket looks solid! I made mine from sheet metal, and while it's light, it has cracked before and I had to beef up the mounting tabs so they wouldn't break from vibration, though since doing that is has been ok. I kind of intentionally made it flimsy to save weight and see if it was ok or too flimsy.
Glad I could help! I dunno about capacitors, I didn't wire any up with my setup, though I do suppose in theory they could help a bit having some strong caps close to the coils, but they would need to be pretty beefy to do anything outside of noise suppression.
