anastasios Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Hey guys I'm having a bit of a problem gettin spark out of the coil, i was wondering if anyone had any wiring diagrams or could explain it to me, thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anastasios Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 ive done some research and tried out using a gt40 bosch but how do i bypass the resistor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smacko84 Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hey mate, I'm only going from what i remember from when we put a ae82 4ac (which has electric dizzy) into my ke70. From memory (and i can't take pics cos ive put that black plastic stuff everywhere to cover wires) we wired it up as normal but didnt go through the resistor (thats the ceramic thing right?) because the elctric dizzy doesnt need that. I ended up changing my coil to one for the electric dizzy that i got from auto one. The new coil didnt have a positive or negative side marked on it, so we just put the wires from one side of the original coil to one side and the vice versa. Hope this helps in some way.

Xany Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 (edited) There is already a topic on how to wire these dizzy's up.....however. DO NOT use a bosch gt40 coil....you will fry it like an egg on a hot manifold in about 6 months (i speak from experience). With most electronic dizzy's they need a positive and negative feed from the coil....without the resistor (little ceramic white thing). however you will need to find yourself a coil that does not need to run through a resistor.....grab one off another car similar. http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?s...lectronic+dizzy <------the other thread Edited July 3, 2007 by Xany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The easy way to tell if the coil needs a ballast resistor or not is to check the part number - ones which need resistors generally have R at the end of their name, eg GT40R If you don't want to get a GT40 coil because of their reputation, go for Echlin instead, they tend to be cheaper than the Bosch ones and I've never heard of problems with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
