Bobby,

I’m running the 3 lead coils on one circuit and the 3 trailing coils on another.  Initially, I tried 10A fuses.  It would sometimes blow the fuse when first powered up.  Going to a 15A fuse corrected the problem.  Its my understanding that there is an initial surge, then they settle down to a much lower current draw.  I suspect that the current draw increases with rpm.  Maybe someone else can confirm that.

Question for Tracy or others. I am working on my electrical and need to know the maximum draw for the EC2, coils and injectors. I posted my Microtech LT10s on eBay yesterday so I may be switching to the EC2.

 

Thanks,

 

Bobby
