Help with coil connections for Vaux C20XE

Post by spag »

I appear to be helping a friend squirt a C20XE and need a bit of info on the coil connections...

Anyone know what the pins are on these ?

Have you applied a ohm meter to it yet? That looks of the same layout as a Ford coilpack so might have the same wiring.

The center ping is 12v. The other to ping are for the two halve of the coil pack, ie, pin1 cyl1/4 pin3 cyl2/3. You'll need highcurrent ignition drivers to drive this coil pack. One vb921 for pin1 and other for pin3.

Cool thanks :-)

I will double check that he has a V3 board with the right bits on...

VR input bits & 2x vb921
