what i took away from this: good coils have smaller distance between field and output (so coilover plugs are better) and the more stable of a field produced by the coil, the longer the collapse of the field takes, meaning a longer spark and more complete combustion
i'm wondering what changes effect the q factor in these plugs... is it the type/gauge of coil wire used? alloy type? i know things like gold or platinum have much higher consistency compared with standard copper coil... maybe thats the difference? |
I got an answer back from Mark regarding your question.
"For obvious reasons we can’t give out exact details since our ignition coil engineering specifications are proprietary to Takai, but to answer the question as best as I can. To improve our ignition coils we address wire gauge size, wire type, winding count, core materials, core design and field design in our ignition coils vs competitor units. All are of importance when it comes to the best overall efficiency of the ignition coil."
