Toyota CoilOnPlug unit thermal limitations..

Waiting for MegaJolt/C to build a CoilOnPlug setup on my Corvair air-cooled-6.

Anyone have any idea how reliable the toyota coils as mentioned http://www.autosportlabs.org/blog/?p=1318 are? I'd hate to put it all together, only to find out they melt at operating temps, or heat-soak etc..

I think I have a solid idea for trigger-wheel operation for the harmonic damper (or in-distributor, since the oil-pump drive must stay intact) mounted trigger systems - some measurements to work out, still, but this could be quite nice.

Unsure. Does the area around the corvair head experience significantly higher temperature than what is found on a water cooled engine? In any case, I think you might be the first one to try it out and report back

What about remote mounted LS1 coils?

Remote mounted coil will be fine. 911 guys use COP, so I don't think that will be a problem, do some research to see what coils they are using, I am unsure as to what is being used successfully. I do know it is done though.

I have a regular EDIS setup on an aircooled 4 VW, but will be doing COP on a twin-plug 911.
