other coil packs

[FATGTS-R]

I have searched but couldnt find the relevant info.

As opposed to purchasing splitfire etc coil packs can, and has anybody used standard coil packs from a different car?

I see in the mags people using say VN coil packs. Is it because they generate more spark or another reason?

My friend has a s/charged rodeo with over 400rwkw and 25+psi and the entire ignition system is factory. My RB20det has 225rwkw and plug gaps are 0.6mm as it will misfire with a larger gap.

Can any coil packs be used or only a specific type?

I need to upgrade my ignition system and just want to know what all my options are.

One of my mates is using remote mount Bosch type r coils run off the standard ignitor on an sr, he ran the same setup on his Jun 2.1 CA.

On his CA it ran 1.4 gaps with an AF ratio deep into the 9's at one stage with no misfire, was making about 160rwkw at the time as he was taking it easy on a new turbo. He had made closer to 200 prior to that.
