AEM/Mercury Marine Coil upgrade package
Preview/Interest

The mercury marine coils are a great alternative to the factory coils and HKS twin power combination. The issue most will face when upgrading to the marine coils is wiring them up and finding a location to mount them. We have designed a complete package for anyone looking for a completely bolt on mounting solution. We will offer components as a complete package at a discount, or individually for customers who don't need a complete package. We are still finalizing pricing so please bare with us. Feel free to post any questions, comments or interest in this thread!

Mercury Marine/AEM coils

As we all know the rotary engine behaves similarly to a 2 stroke engine with two firing events per revolution. Coupled with the high RPM's of the rotary engine, many of the current high output coils (MSD, LS, etc) can not keep up with the more than doubled firing rate as their dwell time is longer and as a result lag. The AEM/MM coils are the best available for a high horsepower FD application. As they are a smart coil they do not require an igniter, only a signal to fire, simplifying the setup and maximizing simplicity. These coils can be adapted to work on the Power FC as well as most any aftermarket ECU. They are the coil of choice for making serious power on the FD.

Current solutions such as the HKS Twin power attempt to solve the problem by bolstering the signal from the stock coils. Not only does this yield a less effective and more complex solution with a lesser spark, the cost is extraordinarily high and relies on the stock coils. Our solution allows you to remove the stock coils and igniter and feed a direct signal to the new coil pack.
the AEM / Mercury Marine coils are becoming increasingly popular as a coil of choice for many tuning communities (especially the FD) for it's high spark energy at low dwell time. These coils were originally designed for use in 2 stroke marine race motors, which require a high energy spark but fire twice as often as a standard piston engine requiring a very fast recharge rate.

Note: Dwell times will need to be adjusted to take full advantage of these coils. PowerFC users will need a dagalogit to make dwell time adjustments.

Highlights:

• Massive Spark Energy, up to 103 mJ
• Incredibly long spark duration, up to 2.9mS
• Up to 40kV Output Voltage, without using a CDI
• Weather and Shockproof design
• Maximum Current: 19 Amps
• Maximum Battery Voltage: 17 Volts

AEM/Mercury Marine Coil mount

The mount we have designed, places the coils next to the brake master cylinder where the cruise control would reside (removal of cruise control required). As with most of our products the mount is completely bolt on and easily removable requiring no permanent modifications. To compliment this mount we're also offering custom MSD spark plug wires!

Highlights

• Completely bolt on
• OEM appearance
• Black powder coated steel mount
• Stainless steel mounting hardware
• Aluminum spacers included

Adapter harness

We are working on a harness that will offer a semi plug and play solution. It will require de-pinning the factory igniter connector and re-pinning it with a connector we provide. This package is as close to complete as we can possibly make it.

Custom SBG spark plug wires

To round out our package we offer custom made MSD spark plug wires specifically to work with our mounting solution (Custom lengths also available). Whether your car is stock or a 500HP monster these wires will suit your needs for plug wires, and meet or exceed your expectations. Our spark plug wires utilize MSD 8.5mm super conductor wires and high quality connectors and boots. MSD's 8.5mm Super Conductor wire sets have a special helically wound core that has just 40-50 ohms of resistance per foot--but with an EMI/RFI suppression equal to a 1,500 ohm wire! What's that mean? More energy from your coils make it to your spark plug wires which would otherwise be converted to heat in a standard wire.

Highlights:

• Excellent EMF suppression
• Outstanding Silicone Insulator
• Spec Sheet Provided
• Low resistance

Install services and Dwell time adjustments will be offered to those in the Philadelphia area (or anyone willing to travel to Philadelphia).

Bought this kit, just haven't installed it yet as I'm in the middle of rebuilding my motor. Will post pix n feedback ASAP.

I did buy the full kit with PnP harness. Very excited to get it installed!

looking forward to your review!

I'm not sure if we had the instructions complete when you purchased your kit. You can download them via the link below. The instructions are pamphlet style, so they won't really be easy to follow unless you print them out and fold it in half.

Lol you messaged me about it, but thanks neway

Hardly the "coil of choice" or "The AEM/MM coils are the best available for a high horsepower FD application"

Inductive ignitions are NOT the best for the wankel rotary, CDI based systems are the best.

For people wanting inferior inductive then this may be a solution, but rest assured its far from the best or what professionals use in the upper echelons of rotary performance.

Pretty much the FD standard has been stock coils, HKS Twin Power and some NGK-R plugs. $400 for a Twin Power is a big waste of money. This Mercury Marine combo works really well and is a bargain for the spark energy you can get out of these coils.

It is pretty stupid to try and compare these to a CDI system in that a good 4 channel CDI alone will cost you $1000. Then you still need to buy good coils. I'm sure you can adapt a CDI to their harness to make the kit up to your "standards". Or we can be happy when great products like this come out.

imo these are a downgrade from factory FC coils. FC coils actually can store more energy

FC coils work well but the Leading is still wasted park, Packing is pretty difficult, and you need to modify the trailing ignitor to work with an FD ECU or most aftermarket ECUs.
