Racedom Mazda RX8 MSD Ignition Kit
The Mazda RX8 upgrade ignition kit refers to all RX-8 models. This kit will replace the existing ignition coils with Capacitive Discharge Multiple Spark Coils. To optimize the performance all parts have been carefully selected by our team. Curved heat resistant boots, thick spark plug wire, high power ignition coils and durable harness are the parts. The kit is accompanied with special harness for the coil connection.
⚠️Caution!
Ignition coils that their shape is deformed cannot be replaced under warranty. In case the body of the ignition coil has split out resin it also cannot be replaced under warranty.
Caution for Mazda RX8 owners!
Dear Mazda RX8 Owner, remember to disconnect the ignition coil whenever you are doing compression test. Disconnect the ignition coil from the 5-wire or 4-wire connector. Otherwise the ignition coil will be destroyed and there will be no warranty.

The kit will give to your engine smoother start more power and less misfires.
Installation Steps
- Remove the old ignition coils.
- Choose the place that you will install the coils and install them (the mounting kit for the coils is not included).
- Connect the coil connector harness to the old connectors and the coils.
- Measure the length of each spark plug wire and cut the cable.
- Install the boots on the wires.
- Plug in the spark plug wires to the coil.
Note:Some of these steps have to be done by an expert.

Racedom Mazda RX8 AEM Ignition Kit
The Mazda RX8 upgrade ignition kit refers to all RX-8 models. This kit will replace the existing ignition coils with High Output IGBT Inductive Smart Coil. To optimize the performance all parts have been carefully selected by our team. Curved heat resistant boots, thick spark plug wire, high power ignition coils and durable harness are the parts. The kit is accompanied with special harness for the coil connection.The AEM High Output IGBT Inductive Smart Coil deliver up to 103mJ of spark energy and a minimum of 40,000 Volts.
⚠️Caution!
Ignition coils that their shape is deformed cannot be replaced under warranty. In case the body of the ignition coil has split out resin it also cannot be replaced under warranty.

OVERVIEW
Auto enthusiasts who have forced induction engines, high RPM engines or run nitrous oxide are aware of the compromises that come with using inductive coils instead of converting to a Capacitive Discharge Ignition system (CDI). While inductive coils deliver a long spark duration with simplicity, they lack the energy to adequately ignite the mixture in the combustion chamber of a highly modified performance vehicle. Conversely, CDIs deliver an intense burst of spark energy, but with practically no spark duration, which makes having the proper air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber paramount for best performance. This compromise ends with AEM’s High-Output IGBT “Smart” Inductive Coils; The first inductive coils that deliver CDI-like spark energy and voltage, and the long spark duration necessary for forced induction- and nitrous-equipped vehicles.
AEM’s High-Output, Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) “Smart” Inductive Coils are designed for use on applications that do not have an external igniter.
WHAT IT DOES
AEM’s High-Output IGBT “Smart” Inductive Coils each deliver up to 103mJ of spark energy and a minimum of 40,000 Volts—as much as most CDI systems but without the need for a CDI module! These coils provide very long spark duration at full energy, unlike CDI systems and multiple spark systems which fire off small spark events prior to and after its CDI burst to mimic longer spark duration. The full energy delivery and long duration of AEM’s High-Output IGBT “Smart” Inductive Coils eliminate the need to compromise energy or duration with your ignition system, and will increase performance in high-boost or high compression engines.
WHY YOU WANT ONE
AEM’s High-Output IGBT “Smart” Inductive Coils deliver CDI-like spark energy with the long duration of an inductive coil. They install easily in place of your exiting coils and do not require a CDI module. AEM’s High-Output IGBT “Smart” Inductive Coils have a shock and weatherproof design that allows them to be mounted virtually anywhere. And at a cost less than what you would pay for aftermarket LS1 coils—they deliver World-Class performance at a bargain. AEM’s High-Output Coils are used on 2,000-horsepower nitrous motors without a CDI, and they perform flawlessly.

TECH TIPS – WHICH COIL IS RIGHT FOR ME
- AEM High Output IGBT Coil with Built in Ignitor (Smart Coil) – For applications without an external ignitor. Can also be used to completely replace factory coils and an external ignitor.
- AEM High Output Inductive Coil (Dumb Coil) (AEM P/N 30-2852) – For applications which have an external ignitor or an ECU with one built in to it.
- AEM Pencil Coils (AEM P/N 30-2850 & 30-2851)- Replace factory coils in applications which have an external ignitor or CDI ignition system. Can also be used in conjunction with an AEM Engine Position Module, 4-Channel Ignitor>, AEM Twin Fire Ignition System, and Standalone Engine Management System to replace a distributed setup.
