Hey, what kind of coil can i use in my 86nx with the E16??

I figured i could go to pick your part and find a new one, just wondering what i can use so it doesn't blow.

ignition coil or suspension coil?

i think he meant ignition. i've wondered this too, cause i have a 40,000 volt coil on my chevy that will soon be replaced with HEI

yeah, ignition coils.

I have some laying around as well. I'm going to work on the pulsar tonight so i'll just use the trial and error method!

any other experiments need to be carried out?

I dont' know know whether or not the ignitor's up to the challenge or not, anybody got any info on that?

Update: tried a big truck coil from an old chevy.

The pulsar didn't seem to like it a whole lot. I took out the battery(boost pack to start) and the tach sems to go all funky.

why would this be?

I also removed the back seats, jack and spare, door panels, exhuast system.
Runs alot better and faster. I will soon weld a roll cage in it. what is the best way to go about this?

you'll have to let us know how the roll cage goes....is 86 a N12 or 13?? major brain fart today

quasarcav · Apr 26th, 2004, 02:18 PM

I think it is N12.. you guys are the experts though

My friend has done some cages before for tercels and such, I'll take pics when ready!

Anyone on this board live anywhere near calgary,alberta,canada?

i'm not much of an expert when my mind can't work. i always get confused on what 86 was. do you have t-tops or not?

quasarcav · Apr 26th, 2004, 04:11 PM

no t-tops but i have a pretty cool sunroof!

Is it me or does taking the muffler off give you twice the power?

I have one of those yellow coils, it works quite well. I don't know if the pulsar is using a different ingition setup. I got the impression that you could use pretty much any coil on the breakerless ignitions.

Was the truck coil hooked up with the right polarity?

N12. and depending on the muffler it does increase power
