coilpacks

[Mick]

hey is there any way of telling if a coilpack is a series 1 or series 2 just by looking at it while its off the car. I know they are different and the s2 have an inbuilt ignitor in them and i would have thought they would have had an extra pin or something but they dont so if i seen a photo of one i want to know if there is a way to tell if its a s1 or s2 just by its looks, there must be something cos the plugs dont fit eachother

The plugs are different from memory. The locating tangs are in different spots so you cant connect the wrong coils

Plugs are different as 89CAL said

is there an easy way to tell just by looking at a photo of one to know if its from a s2 or s1?

if i go new would i be best going spitfire or audi r8 coilpacks like i saw on a gtr on some site, looked nice and worked out cheaper, but obviously wiring loom needs to be modified, and does anyone know if the audi r8 coilpacks would work on a s2 gtst or just a gtr

ok i have a question, i just tested the resistance on my coilpacks, now i have a series2 so im not sure if its supposed to be different but i read that i should get between 0.6 and 0.9 ohms and im getting 1.66 kilo ohms, but i saw a guy testing his on youtube and he was getting similar results, so does anyone know if the series 2 are supposed to have a very high kilo ohms resistance instead of a small ohms like a series1 has
