AEM Universal High Output Inductive Smart Coil - 30-2853

Brand: AEM

SKU: aem30-2853

availability: In stock

$100.95 $80.42

Auto enthusiasts who have forced induction engines, high RPM engines or run nitrous oxide are aware of the compromises that come with using inductive coils instead of converting to a Capacitive Discharge Ignition system (CDI). While inductive coils deliver a long spark duration with simplicity, they lack the energy to adequately ignite the mixture in the combustion chamber of a highly modified performance vehicle. Conversely, CDIs deliver an intense burst of spark energy, but with practically no spark duration, which makes having the proper air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber paramount for best performance. This compromise ends with AEM's High-Output IGBT "Smart" Inductive Coils. IMPORTANT: AEM High Output IGBT Smart and Dumb Coils are intended for coil-near-plug use ONLY. They are NOT intended for use on distributed applications and AEM cannot guarantee or warranty the performance of its IGBT coils when used on distributed ignition vehicles. Max Continuous Dwell: 9 mS but don't exceed 40% duty cycle Max Intermittent Dwell: 80% duty cycle, 5 seconds maximum Mating Connector: Packard/Delphi 12162825 "Pull to Seat" Mating Contacts: Packard/Delphi 12124075 "Pull to Seat" High Tension Wire Terminal: HEI "spark plug top" Style Peak Secondary Current: 102 mA +/- 10% Maximum Battery Voltage: 17...
