Can I use a N/A trailing coil on my TII, are the interchangeable?

 

Yes.

 

Same stuff.

 

all FC trailing coils carry the n326 ( NA ) part number

 

According to people on the swedish forum they are not the same, dont know what to belive here, but safest thing to do is ti source one from a turbo car.

 

I'm just curious. Does your ingnition system look like the first or second jpg attached?

 

Isnt that, backwards? Australia had the Distributor 2nd gens right?

 

im going out on a limb here and guess even over there they did away with the dizzy with the turbo models.. assuming that, all FC coils are the same if it does not use a dizzy. leading and trailing are different but they are interchangable otherwise between all years from '86-91.


in layman's terms, there is no "turbo" or "non turbo" or series specific coils.

 

Oh... Thanks. If none of our words are credible, then why'd you even bother to ask?

I've used the same leading and trailing coil packs from when I was running the N/A 13B up until now with a TII swap. Go ahead and spend the money on what you think is a different coil pack.

 

it is EUROPE that got the spastic s3 dizzy in the s4 car

AUSTRALIA was the FIRST market to get FULL ECU both TURBO and NA
( turbos being avail in RHD a year ( 86 ) before the US LHD units ( 87 ) )

the pics are lifted from my australian N318 turbo training supplement, now online

anyone in aus ,US or canada turbo AND NA can walk out to their bay and marvel that the trailing coil pack has the n326 code on it and the leading has the n318 code
( a model variant never released in the US )

 

Yes, turns out that the euro N/A cars have a distributor, thats why I got diffrent answers.
Thanks.

 

I lifted the jpgs from the series four training manual that NZCONVERTIBLE made available online years ago.

So you you have the distributor instead of CAS and no coil assys that have the ignitor included inside them.

So you use a coil switched on/off by the ECU I suppose. In my opinion.....a coil is a coil is a coil and it wouldn't matter if it was na or turbo.

On a USA version, like mentioned waay above on another post...........the na and turbo coil assy's are the same item . I suspect the European plain ole coils are swappable also. Just my opinion.

 

he only posted half the ( aussie ) training manual supplement,, i have the full hard manual ( both NA and turbo supplements )
the turbo section was hosted on fox.net only recently via arghx
( whom i sent all the scans and you can see my notes scribbled ad hoc through them )

-------------

as is the hanshin oil filled round coils have a primary resistance of 0.8 ohms
the FC electronic leading coil is around 0.2 ohms and is ballasted up to 0.8 ohm,, and trailing coils are also 0.8 ohms

the ecu driving any of these coils will essentially see the same electrical and heat load at the driver
however,, the secondary winding count on the E or C core type coils is often more efficient
,, and so i would expect higher discharge voltages at a shorter duration than the oil filled coils
ie,, the E coils will light off a boosted charge more consistantly and so prove a better choice

however,, all of this is mute,,
as any US,OZ,JAP FC with stock ecu is going to need the FC trailing E coil for its "flop" trigger select , TTL signal driven igniter pack

 

I wish I could pull out the stupid CAS and drop in a GSL-SE dizzy with the rest of my FB's ignition setup with out affecting the computer.
