ive heard our stock coils are good enough. would it be worth upgrading to something like a "mallory canister type coil"? any gas MPG difference?

the fc coils have much more voltage then the canister coils. if anything run a jacobs rotary pro pac with the stock coils. i tried a msd and jacobs. was not happy with the msd but was very fond of the jacobs.

stock fc ignition's are terrible. Most rotary owners convert to a dizzy setup and use ford coils from the 5.0 mustangs.

the stock coils are the best performing for most applications. if youre going to upgrade id only do so if youre suffering ignition breakup, which generally comes with a more highly modified rotary.



so it depends on the rest of your application really, and dont listen to dramon, seriously.



If you want to upgrade anyway many peopple have success, and positive comments on the MSD Blaster SS Coils, theyre not too pricey and are available in most places.

i'm thinking a good upgrade would be to not run wasted spark on the leadings, and just run 2 coils. but for a stock ecu car stock ignition is best. if you put a standalone in there, you prolly wanna add an msd box or so

How would that work, one coil for each rotor, and fire the sparks at the same time for each rotor? (I'm still learning ignition)

Dramon is crazy apparently. The stock systems are fine for stock to midly modified rotary engines. When you get above 1.5bar and high RPMs/High HP...upgrades become more needed. MSD boxes are good way to go...

the stock setup, fires both leading plugs at the same time, they both share the same circuit, one plug fires on the exhaust and one fires into the compressed air fuel mixture. its called "wasted spark" they use it a lot on 4 cylinders.



there are 2 problems with that:



1. it takes energy to jump 2 gaps, that sometimes could be used to fire the plug

2. if one plug is fouled, then neither fire as they are on the same circuit.



my thought is you could use the same ecu signal, ignitor etc, but instead of 1 dual ended coil, use 2 single coils, that way it still acts like a wasted spark system.



i dunno if it would actually work any better, i havent actually tried it or anything.
