Enthusiasts running forced induction, high RPM engines, or nitrous know the trade-off between inductive coils and a capacitive discharge ignition system (CDI): inductive coils deliver long spark duration with simplicity but lack the energy to reliably ignite the mixture in a highly modified combustion chamber, while CDIs deliver an intense burst of spark energy with practically no spark duration. AEM's High-Output IGBT "Smart" Inductive Coil closes that gap, delivering CDI-like spark energy without needing a separate CDI module.

FAQ
What's the difference between the "Smart" and "Dumb" AEM coils?
They're built on different technology: the Dumb coil is a traditional inductive coil designed for vehicles that already have an external igniter, while the Smart coil uses AEM's IGBT-based inductive design. Both deliver CDI-like spark energy and voltage without needing a separate CDI module.
What output does this coil deliver?
Up to 40kV output voltage and 103mJ of spark energy, with spark duration up to 2.9mS.
Where can this coil be mounted?
Its weatherproof, shockproof construction allows it to be mounted almost anywhere, including directly to the engine.
