E8 settings with bosch coils?
I am finishing up installing a E8 and have 4 bosch coils for ignition. I need to know the haltech settings to put in for charge time ect. Also wanted to know if Ign 1 and Ign 2 would go to leading 1 leading 2? Or leading 1 and trailing 1? Thanks in advance for any help.

IGN #1- front rotor leading
IGN#2- rear rotor leading
IGN#3- front rotor trailing
IGN#4- rear rotor trailing
that was in the back on the manual.
this is for direct fire i.e. four separate coils
i use this with my ls1 coils
IGN#2- rear rotor leading
IGN#3- front rotor trailing
IGN#4- rear rotor trailing

Coils w/ igniters = constant charge, +/-3mS and falling edge
MSD w/ coils = constant duty, rising edge and 40% period

thanks for the responses guys, but im gonna be using the stock coils for now . i cant spare 300 for a DIS4 right now, i thought the haltech could run them just bare like the microtech did .

The Haltech CAN run any coil with igniter combo, but, it doesnt have built in drivers to just run the coils by it self without igniters. I believe the MTs dont have that either, you order it for stock setup with igniters or it comes with a specific set of coils.

use the stock ignitor for the trailing and a couple t2 ignitors for the leading. piece of cake, and cheap.
or use the stock ignitor only, but you'd have to piggyback the leading coils.

The MSD DIS-4 cannot fire a 13B.

2 of these if you're using the coils in sequential mode
http://speedmachineperformance.com/inc/sdetail/7536
stock fd ignitor if you're using wastespark on the leading.
in a nutshell, the computer tells the ignitor to fire, then the ignitor tell the coil to fire. the coil and ecu don't speak the same language.

The bare coil needs a stronger signal to fire a spark.
The stock coil "pack" includes an ignitor in it's base (for FC) or outboard (for FD) to "step up the voltage" so the low-power ECU signal is able to fire the coil properly.
Think of an ignitor as a step-up voltage box...
You basically need a minimum three channel ignitor(s) for "distributor" mode or 4 channels for "direct fire" for the Haltech.
Haltech sells their own ignitor modules (M&W's?) if you need them.
