AEM Universal High-Output Inductive Dumb Coil AEM30-2852

Any enthusiast running boost, nitrous or high RPMs is aware of the trade-offs associated with inductive coils versus converting to a capacitive-type discharge ignition system (CDI). While inductive coils deliver a long spark duration, they lack enough energy to light off the combustion chamber of a modified high-performance vehicle. In contrast, CDIs delivers intense energy but with inadequate spark duration, making the proper mixture in the combustion chamber critical for best performance. This tradeoff ends with AEM's High-Output "Dumb" Inductive Coils, the first inductive coils that deliver CDI-like spark energy and voltage, and the long spark duration necessary for vehicles running forced induction and nitrous. AEM High-Output Inductive "dumb" Coil

• Robust construction allows them to be mounted almost anywhere
• CDI-like spark energy without the need for a CDI
• Heavy-duty, weatherproof and shockproof design
• Available for vehicles with external igniters
• Incredibly long spark duration, up to 3.2mS
• Less expensive than aftermarket LS1 coils
• Up to 41kV Output Voltage, without a CDI
• Can be installed directly to engine
• Massive Spark Energy, up to 118 mJ

The AEM Universal High-Output Inductive Dumb Coil is designed for high-performance engines running boost, nitrous, or elevated RPM. Part number AEM30-2852 combines the long spark duration of an inductive ignition coil with the high energy and voltage typically associated with capacitive discharge ignition systems. This helps deliver a stronger, more consistent spark without requiring a separate CDI unit, making it well suited for modified vehicles with demanding ignition requirements.

Built for dependable operation in harsh automotive environments, the AEM coil features a heavy-duty, weatherproof, and shockproof housing that can be mounted in a variety of locations, including directly on the engine when appropriate. Its robust construction supports flexible installation for custom ignition systems and applications using external igniters. With spark energy up to 118 mJ, output voltage up to 41 kV, and spark duration up to 3.2 milliseconds, this coil helps promote reliable combustion across a broad range of performance conditions.

The AEM30-2852 provides a practical alternative to aftermarket LS1-style coils while retaining the extended spark duration required by forced-induction and nitrous applications. It is intended for off-road and racing use and is not CARB approved. Verify ignition-system compatibility, trigger requirements, wiring, and mounting provisions before installation. The package includes one AEM Universal High-Output Inductive Dumb Coil. AEM part number AEM30-2852 should be used when confirming application and replacement compatibility.
