Enthusiasts running boost, nitrous, or high RPMs know the trade-off between inductive coils and a capacitive discharge ignition system (CDI): inductive coils deliver long spark duration but lack the energy to reliably light off a modified engine's combustion chamber, while CDIs deliver intense spark energy but with much shorter duration. AEM's High-Output "Dumb" Inductive Coil closes that gap, delivering CDI-like spark energy and voltage along with the long spark duration needed for forced induction and nitrous applications, without requiring a separate CDI module.

FAQ
What's the benefit of this coil over a standard inductive coil or a CDI?
It delivers CDI-like spark energy and voltage while keeping the long spark duration of a traditional inductive coil, without needing a separate CDI module — useful for boost, nitrous, or high-RPM applications.
What output does this coil deliver?
Up to 41kV output voltage and 118mJ of spark energy, with spark duration up to 3.2mS.
Where can this coil be mounted?
Its heavy-duty, weatherproof, and shockproof construction allows it to be mounted almost anywhere, including directly to the engine.
