"Up to 10% more energy output" sure doesn't seem like much of an upgrade.

All I will say is you should consult the associated graphs for your application for exact energy outputs.

Why would someone want these over the eldor B58 coil? Seems like too little too late.

Won't share supplier information but ultimately we are leveraging sister company, MSD and their contacts.

If they decide to carry/stock them.

More energy output, sweet color choices, cheaper and a rocking logo obviously. =)

So looks like a Delphi Coil to me, but nice price and cool that they come in colors.

So which stock coils is the chart comparing against, the Bosch ones, Delphi or Eldor Coils?

How does the power output on these compare to the OEM Eldor coils? There are single turbo guys making 700+HP with the eldors.....are these better?

If by more energy output, you mean half, then you'd be right. Bahn on Spool Street did some nice testing.

Do you know why there are 2 different s55 eldor coils on that chart? Also is it just me or are they hard to find on a google search? I keep getting the n54 eldors..

Why didn't they test the N54 Eldors? I've been running those for a long time, close to 600hp on an E40 mix, and no issues at all.

That's some great info.....too bad more people don't back up their claims with solid data like that.

Depends on what coils you are referring to.

The N series coils (N54/N55/etc.) was compared to 2 different OEM Bosch coils and the OEM Delphi. The chart above specifically is compared to the highest stock output version of the bunch (one of the Bosch's - 8647689). Did not compare to an Eldor unfortunately.

The M series coils are compared to the OEM Bosch and OEM Bremi. Data on both was essentially identical but technically that particualr chart is compared against the Bremi specifically.

The B series coil chart is compared against the OEM Eldor.

Couldn't say unfortunately as they were not tested.

I guess I should have clarified to see what exactly what we are talking about. If we are comparing the Eldor B58 conversion kit to mount in a N54/N55 to the Dinan N54/N55 coil then yes it's roughly half the output on face value. 10% more energy I was referring to was comparing the factory B58 coil to the Dinan B58 coil. What we measured on the factory B58 Eldor coil (7599219) though (83 mJ @ 3.2 ms dwell) is quite different then what is shown in the charts above (187 mJ @ 3.2 ms dwell) so I'm not sure how direct a comparison can be made between the two. Even the first paragraph from that comparison article says as much and that their data and others data can't be compared due to differing factors in equipment, tolerances, etc... much like a dyno. Quite honestly alot of the data when it comes to coils is just meaningless numbers to me anyway but all our testing comparing the factory and Dinan coils were done by sister company MSD averaging results from 16 samples of each so I can only assume its pretty accurate.

At the end of the day it comes down to we are after an OEM+ solution that is better than factory for cheaper and with color options. Are there probably more powerful output solutions? Certainly. But is the additional cost worth it for the vast majority of the consumer base? I would guess probably not but even so it's just more options for the consumer which is always a good thing.

I'm referring to the N54 coils, the problem with your chart is the fact that no comparison with Eldor Coils is shown.

There is nothing to say that these Dinan coils are better than the N54 Eldor Coils,

Correct. I have put in a request to have the Eldor coil (BMW part #12138657273) tested directly but I would be beyond shocked if its much different then what has already been done.
