Hi Bill

We're using the D585 coils.

Yes the EC2 needs to be reprogrammed for the change in dwell - 2.4mSec -> ~4 mSec.

I haven’t upgraded the software yet, the engine is running without load on the old 2.4mSec dwell setting.

I got the coils on Amazon and the connectors on ebay.

I’ve attached a photo of what we did.

I can only send 300K to the list so more photos are available if you give me another email address.

Cheers

Steve Izett

This has been discussed before I think. If I should change from the Renesis coils what changes are required?

I think I would have to:
1. send the EC-2 to Tracy for reprogramming. Is Tracy still supporting the EC-2 now that he is retired?

2. make up a wiring harness with connectors for the D585 coil.

3. fabricate a mounting bracket for the coils.

4. buy new plug wires to fit the connectors on the coils. Can I modify my existing Renesis wires to fit these coils? If not, which brand wire is best?

What am I overlooking? It seems that the D581 or D585 coils are better than the D580 with the D585 the best of the three and with a heat sink built in. so is the D585 the coil of choice and where is the best source for these coils?
