Hmmm.....14HP boost.

[bobmbx]

So, they claim a 14HP boost just from installing their coils (peak HP +38 @4000rpm).

That's not a Triton or Ecoboost....

With full ECU control you can get mad numbers out of anything, questions are:
1) will it pass necessary emissions tests for highway use registration?
2) how many miles before it blows up?

Oh OK... ecoboost. Doesn't list Expedition and Navigator though.

Also....with those sloppy stickers, they look REALLY chinese... and, hey, the main question remains, sure you can make both the Triton and the Ecoboost put out more power, but how long will they last??

Theses companies have made these performance coils for years now for you name it. I don’t buy it, and I’m sure they aren’t up to the quality of the oem coils. Chinese knock offs with a sticker and some supposed dyno results....commonly dynos are hardly accurate/effective and often tampered with and adjusted to show positive results. You can only do so much with spark....if you have aready have healthy spark it’s about as good as it gets.

I think its a modern version of the coil boosters you could buy back in the 1970s that also claimed to 'increase your HP'. They didn't.

Accel make about the same claim for their coilpacks for the F150 Ecoboosts.
Accel generally makes a pretty good product.
I am contemplating putting a set in at 75k miles just to see how they go.
Unless I loose a coil pack sooner than that.
I just had my 60k service Friday so I have about a year and a half before 75k.

 

[JExpedition07]

Accel is pretty honest, I’ve never seen them advertise gains from their coils. They just call them “high performance replacements”. Here is their video regarding Triton 3V, 5.0 Coyote, and EcoBoost engine coils. Notice their careful choice of words:

I've tried just about every coil, and all the ancillary electronics to go with them. I and a good friend did just that years back with his bone stock 883 Harley, it was one of the flat tracker look alikes, I think 2003? After the Screaming Eagle coils, wires, and pick up coils, all I could feel was a little difference. To me, the expense yielded very little. What made this scoot come to life was when I bolted on the 1200 cc conversion kit, along with a Harley flat side carburetor, 44 mm I think. That bike when from Clark Kent, into a muscle bulging, tire screeching, front tire heading skyward animal. Bottom line, coils and wires do very little. You gotta put the whole package together to feel anything.

The old saying still applies "there's no replacement for displacement".

There was talk of this on F-150 Ecoboost forum, also Granatelli Motorsports had an extensive mods video with several incremental mods including their own "brand" of coil on caps, claiming even more hp than the "Sultan of Spark" brand.

The common denominator with both brands and their promo videos...zero mention of beginning mileage for the OEM parts.
Some folks drive a lot during the course of a year.
The sos truck was a .2016 model, which could easily have been on the road since late 2015.
Was the video made recently???
If it was in the last few months, that could indicate the truck has been accumulating mileage for 3 years.

Just saying, a true test that is more indicative of relative change (good or bad) would be with back to back testing with 100% NEW OEM coils vs the aftermarket coils.

The way both have chosen to publish the "improvements" they've found over OEM coils are suspect at best...IMO.

So the question then would be, if the aftermarket prove no worse than OEM, when directly compared to NEW OEM coils, are they as durable, and what of the price point versus OEM?

If a set of OEM coils are $300 and MSD, ACCEL, SOS, are $250 yet the OEM has 12 month 12,000 mile warranty...me thinks there's more value in the OEM parts.

Except in F1 open wheel racing and Turbo Diesel motors and in Trains. Didn't Jaguar owners replace their 12 cylinder motors with chevy v-8s?

One good thing with the Ecoboost. It was designed to be a turbo motor. Early failures came by adapting existing motors to turbo.

Take a test drive, before you buy a vehicle. If it doesn't perform well enough, don't buy it. You will be miserable driving it. Trying to add power, is expensive. A coil can not 'add' power. It might run a bit smoother and maybe better mileage. The original ones are designed for the motor. A stock set up, will not need high performance coils, aka waste of money.
