Vargas B58 Coil Conversion

[Dsmdrew]

I still don't understand why people spend there money on aftermarket coils. There all made in China. Just buy elder. Know to work and last. Dinan coils are crap but people keep buying into it until they fail or just don't work. And it seems one of the biggest things with the coils conversion is getting the correct coils

FWIW Bosch coils are just rebadged Eldor coils so if those are easier to get, get those.

I disagree. It’s not the coils it seems to be something to do with production date of the vehicle

The motors and components are exactly the same. You're making this harder than it has to be.

It has to be something to do with the springs inside the extended boots not making contact with the plugs. I have one that is a bit "off" but I just stretched it out and it's been fine.

I’m not the only one…people have run the same products are their cars with no success.
Even someone on the N55 platform said the same thing…it’s hit or miss…

Offers 4x the spark over oem coils (more than the b58 offers), and they’re direct fit…aka no headaches and wondering if it’ll work or not.

Seems like the better solution imo. And they’re under turners lifetime warranty…

I’m gonna buy a set

I could have swore when I clicked the link you shared yesterday, I saw 4x spark energy and twice the spark current listed on their site. Then in your other thread, you asked them for some data supporting it. I just clicked the link again, and now says nothing about 4x spark energy or twice the spark current - it just says higher spark current and longer spark duration. Am I misremembering what I saw yesterday because you said 4x the spark over oem coils in your post, or did they quick ninja edit their site content? Did anybody else see that yesterday?

Edit: adding screenshot from today. Unfortunately I didn't think to screenshot it yesterday.

I remember seeing 4x the spark as well. So you’re not crazy….or we both are.
