Has anyone used or have any experience with Weapon x high performance coils?

 

Nope, I only go with OEM

 

Would they even work?

 

according to the email, they make them for my s type

 

High perf-what now? What a con.

OE work fine. What could these others do that the OE don't apart from empty a wallet faster? Nothing because there's nothing happening badly now. (Think about the feedback loop.)

 

If you use them please post back.

The LS guys have used Accel coils but they are big and yellow so the coil covers won't fit back on. Looks awkward under the hood.

As was posted above I have yet to see any coil perform better than factory? Even if they have higher voltage output the plug only take so much to fire. Anything above that is just not needed.

I had them on my 850rwhp cobra. went back to oem.

 

Isn't oem motor craft? seems that I am seeing a lot of motor craft parts on the car. Nothing wrong with ford parts, I use to own a Lincoln Navigator 4x4 and a Ford Thunderbird as well as a Chevy Camaro and a Chevy K1500 4x4 ext short bed pickup. The first foreign cars I went too was my current Hondas and my Jaguar. I thought about staying strictly oem and nothing wrong with that. My adoptive parents have a 70 cuda in their garage and a Mustang GT convertible. This Jaguar is going to be my baby and I want it to be fast even though its not a "R" but good on fuel, I am not looking to race it, drift it or anything like that just be quick and look good. Fast cars run in my family from Corvettes to Road Runners, I strayed away and went with Luxury cars. I am sure eying the Jaguar F type r though and the corvette stingray....

 

Keep in mind that Ford had a large ownership share in Jaguar through 2008, so you will indeed see many Ford parts in your car as you perform maintenance and repairs. But there's not much you can do to soup up an S-Type 3.0. If you want more power, you'll have to get an STR....

Your 3.0 is a Ford Duratech engine (built in Cleveland, Ohio) with variable valve timing and intake manifold tuner valves added. In fact, if your intake manifold tuner valve O-rings are the factory-supplied yellow-colored ones, you need to replace them with the newer-and-thicker green-colored ones. Otherwise they will leak oil, suffer from vacuum leaks, and throw misfire codes. Search the S-Type forum using "IMT O-ring replacement" and you'll learn about the two different ways to do this....

 

There are very simple documented mods to make your car faster. Trying "magic" because you're bored is a amazing way to waste money. I know 1500hp fords using the same oem COPS system. They don't give you "more power" only give you back the power you're losing if you have a lack of spark. Advertising can be misleading. If you have a 3000hp car and you can't get enough spark to the plugs then a upgraded COP system would technically give you more hp do to increased spark. But people read that as "if I put this on my 300hp car i'll see gains."

 

I bought a set of 6 on eBay for $66 shipping included. They were identical perfect fit and have worked just fine for nearly a year. I figure that I can buy them 3x and not even come close to the OEM cost, so if they don't last a long time, who cares?


A coil is a coil. End of story.

 

Yes, except when it's causing a poor burn. Then it's a cat-destroying, mpg-reducing stupid cost saving. (Not meaning this applies to anyone on the forum, just an observation about poor coils.)

 

What exactly is a "poor burn"? It either jumps a spark across the plug electrode, or it doesn't.

Mine runs like new with no check engine light, no stumble, no misfire, like it was designed. However, if you want to buy $100/ea coils, by all means, help yourself.

 

Well, that's the basics but actually it needs to deliver energy not a spark. Be happy if yours are OK.

 

You mean like "pure engery", like Spock always talked about? I thought that the coil just made a lot of voltage and jumped a spark across the electrode.

Maybe the next Star Trek series will feature your coils - pure energy.

 

Try fitting the crappy kind of coils and you'll find out. If you're lucky you'll get codes soonish but if unlucky your cat(s) will be dead first.

Sometimes cheap is a false economy.

Energy is needed because the fuel/air mixture won't ignite either at all (extreme case) or soon enough. The energy has to raise the mixture temperature to the point it burns.

Maybe you can grasp this: when you see flashes from static electricity in some clothing. It doesn't ignite because there's not enough energy.

You do want the fuel/air mixture to ignite properly. Well, I do even if you don't.

 

Search for my username + coils and I created a thread with the results of finding some cheap OEM style coils. They work and installed great.

 

I agree! My cheap coils work just fine and fit like OEM. They did not have a picture of Leonard Nimoy on them (i.e. Spock) and I am not sure if they had "pure energy".


Some people like to rationalize why they spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars, wasted, like "some people" here.


hee hee

 

Information Society "pure energy"

 

Yeah!
Finally got my plates after 3 Months! Dealership lost the paperwork and got fine by the state for taking to long to get me my tags....Its only suppose to take a month........
