Coil on plug performance used to be a brass ring in many performance circles, as enthusiasts added piggybacks and CDI units in an effort to streamline and maximize their engine’s spark. And for years modders struggled with this constant back and forth of piggyback units and hacks, fighting one figurative fire while stomping out many others.
And as technology and more products have pushed the performance envelope, direct coil ignition setups are becoming more and more common for those looking to increase their spark efficiency.
AEM has just released their 1 and 3 channel ignition coil drivers, making this conversion easier than ever. Designed and engineered for both distributed six-cylinder racing applications, covering a wide range of both import and domestic offerings. Now you don’t need a bulky CDI or an additional plate of spaghetti wiring, just this coil driver to power your coil-on-plug setup!
Available in single channel varieties with a part number of (30-2841), the AEM ignition coil driver is also available in three channel version (30-2843).
What makes the AEM Ignition Coil Driver so special?
The 3-Channel Coil Driver is designed for racers who want to convert the ignition system on a 6-cylinder race engine to a Coil-On-Plug (COP) set up without using a CDI.
Do I need an AEM Infinity or other piggyback to run this part?
No you do not need additional AEM products to run a true Coil on Plug setup.
Can this AEM Ignition Coil Driver be used on a stock ignition setup to improve performance?
The AEM Ignition Coil Driver can drive “dummy” coils meaning that you do not require an additional controller, and yes it can be used as a replacement part for a stock coil driver.
Available in early March, these AEM coil ignition drivers will make your life much easier with all the hardware required to complete your ignition conversion. Combining the ignition driver or ignitor as well as the voltage boosting capabilities of a CDI make these Coil Drivers a must buy for those looking to maximize their spark.
