Autronic Smc With Cdi Coil Options

[reaper]

Hi Guys,

Ive been reading through a fair few threads on this topic but there seems to be a fair few conflicting ideas about what to do. Im currently running an Autronic SMC with CDI and stock coilpacks on my 26. Im finding its misfiring alot when it gets hot under the bonnet so im looking to swap to something a little more reliable. Ive seen alot about Mercruy outboard coils and such but I am unsure on what to do and if the ecu settings would need to be modified at all when changing from stock to other coils?

Thanks,

Brett

I was initially set-up running stock coils with sm4 and 500r cdi while waiting for mercury coils to arrive and didnt have any problems with them - I spoke to a few different people (autronic dealers) and most said the cdi will work fine with std coils assuming they're in good condition.

That said the car didnt go back on the dyno when the mercury coils went in. I believe the coils came through motec, so not sure if they're a stock mercury item, or a model made to motec's specs. A friend later ordered his mercury coils through a motec dealer as well.
