Default Single coil retro fit

Will fitting a single bosch coil or similar later
Single coil help the amplifier run cooler?

Rex,

I believe so.

That module inside is OK with UP TO 0.9ohms, or thereabouts.

At 1.0ohms, it basically fries, from my own car findings.

I run a Fuelmiser CC215, OK, I;m down here, you are not.
Memory? it sat at 0.7 Ohms Cold and 0.8 Ohms Hot.
It is classified as a "Universal Electronic Ignition Coil" by Fuelmiser. I also use it on the S3 6cyl, and the XJ40 AJ6, no issues.

My AB14 is out the front of the radiator on all the V12's. Nice and cool.

Thanks Grant.
So the Fuelmiser CC215 is OK on its own on the V12?
When you extended the ab14s wiring did you use shielded cable on the ecu connection?

Rex,

Yes o the 1st.

NO to the 2nd, since that wiring basically ran up the inner guard channel, nowhere near any HT interference stuff.
BUT
I did pick up the OE shielded wire inside the wheel arch cavity, and carefully connectoe "my" wire to that inner core, and insulated it very well. It was still extremely soft and pliable in there, away from the engine bay heat.

Some say that coax COULD have the shielding earthed at the ECU OR the Amp. All the ones I have been into are earthed at the ECU, so maybe other markets got weird stuff, dunno. It is only earthed at ONE end no matter what.
