I was looking on Trademe (NZ Ebay sorta thing) and I noticed that someones FC was using 4 trailing coils (2 sets split up) instead of the standard setup.

I didn't save a picture at the time and now cant find it, and I cant seem to find any info around.

Just wondering, is there any benefit to this setup at all? I have 4 spare sets of coils

 

Ah ha! Found it.

im pretty sure two of the coils is to replace the leading coil

Since the leading coil powers both rotors leading plugs in a waste spark format you will need a standalone ecu to control the trailing coils if you want to run them as leading seperately.
Its not cheap to run 4 separate coils, you need a standalone, and they are not what you call cheap.
If you want a "cheap" ignition upgrade, run a CDI box.
