Okada Projects. Plasma Direct ignition coils.
SteveP:
^^^ Yep I understand that Mike, but if the manufacturer is making claims based on no calibration changes it makes me think these are heading towards the snake oil category.

Subscribed to see the dyno results.
They want to be good for circa £500 :surprised:

....Yep, that's around the cost of a remap.

Not sure it's fair to compare a software upgrade to a hardware upgrade.
Really the best way to think of a comparison is other hardware mods around the same price range. I would imagine a decent intake is around £400 and a upgraded downpipe and sports cat might be around £500 odd. What quantified gains would they give compared to the coils. I think the Okada coils are more than just getting more power out of the engine, I believe they may help with better engine running and a healthier motor in general.
I haven't had a chance yet to test the coils as have been out of the country quite a bit of recent. I would like to get the coils on mikes Cupra and thinking I should sort out my fuelling issues on my K03 to get a proper gauge of their true potential. For the comparison of OEM vs Okada project coils, my OEM coilpacks have done about 4K miles since I got them all replaced before my remap at the end of last year. I think these would be a good enough test set?
I heard on a Stock TTRS engine they made around 15bhp improvement but am yet to see a dyno sheet.

Thinking about it that is a fair point. But they have been said they get gains from changing the timing settings. They can run richer than OEM coils and give better power as the spark is much stronger.

As test on a A4 2.0TFSI.

So £500 for 1bhp and 3lb/ft (which I could get from a £40 panel filter!)
Where do I sign :grin:
As I said in another thread I think these fix a problem that doesn't exist a la the forge actuator :laugh:

Will get some dyno runs on the go and can make some decisions from there :smiley:

:happy2: I'm not sold, I'm just hopeful that there will be some proof in he pudding.
