Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: RX-8 coil
caution
FWIW, I report the following just for general interest and a heads-up,
not as a warning not to use RX-8 Renesis coils (at least not yet).
From the car racing corwd, I have been getting a lot of reports and
requests for information about using LS-1 coils on RX-8 cars. They have
been having some failures of Renesis coils and are asking if the LS-1 coils
will work on the stock ECU. There is also a rumor of Mazda coming out
with updated RX-8 coils, possibly as a result of these failures.
The only report I have of problems with Renesis coils on aircraft was
from Ian Beedle who had some fail on his plane. It was thought that this
was due to his EC2 being programmed for LS-1 coils but this may not be the
case in light of these reports.
I am using 6 Renesis coils on my 20B with about 15 hours of ground
testing, no problems so far.
