HG-Motorsport High Performance ignition coils

Maximum ignition energy and thermal stability for modern high-performance engines

In modern vehicles, particularly on engines with increased power output, original ignition coils quickly reach their limits.

Misfires, uneven combustion and thermal overload are often the result.

HG-Motorsport High Performance ignition coils have been developed specifically to overcome these challenges.

They offer increased ignition energy and higher thermal stability, and deliver consistently reliable performance – even under the harshest conditions.

 

Technical features of HG-Motorsport ignition coils

  • Optimised primary and secondary windings: More windings and high-quality copper wire ensure improved energy transfer and a consistently high ignition voltage.
  • Increased ignition energy (+10% compared with OE): Perfect spark plug supply throughout the entire dwell period, ideal for high-output engines.
  • Constant energy output under high load: Particularly suitable for turbocharged and supercharged engines that need a stable ignition voltage over longer periods.
  • Longer service life: High-quality insulation materials and optimised windings minimise thermal stress and protect against internal short circuits.
  • Thermal resistance: Sustained operation up to 120 °C and stable running up to 140 °C without loss of power.
  • Optimised spark formation: Stable ignition even at high boost pressures and richer mixtures, which noticeably improves combustion efficiency.
 

The diagram shows the superior ignition energy of HG-Motorsport ignition coils compared with standard components:

  • Up to 1.5 ms: Both coil types deliver comparable energy.
  • From 2.0 ms: The energy of the standard ignition coils drops noticeably, while the HG-Motorsport ignition coils consistently deliver high values.
  • At 3.0 ms: The HG-Motorsport ignition coils deliver almost 25% more energy – crucial at high revs and on engines with increased power output.

Even at a temperature of 140 °C, the ignition energy of the HG-Motorsport ignition coils remains stable (70 mJ), while the OE coils fail or reach critical values.

 

Ideal for these applications:

  • High-performance engines: Optimum ignition even under extreme loads
  • Motorsport and track days: Stability and constant energy in continuous operation
  • Daily drivers with a power upgrade: Better efficiency and ignition stability in everyday use
  • As a replacement for OEM ignition coils: Higher reliability and longer service life
 

Winding structure and how it works

The ignition coils work with an optimised primary and secondary coil structure.

The primary winding generates a strong magnetic field which, when it collapses, induces a high voltage in the secondary winding.

Thanks to the higher number of windings and improved insulation, a constant ignition energy is maintained even at high revs and peak loads.

 

Thermal tests and long-term results

1. Continuous thermal load:

  • Test set-up: continuous operation at 120 °C with simulated load changes over 100 hours
  • Result: no loss of performance and no thermal degradation of the HG-Motorsport ignition coils
  • Comparison: after 50 hours the OE ignition coils lost approx. 25% of their energy, followed by the first changes to the material

Additional test at 140 °C:

  • HG-Motorsport: stable operation over 8 hours without failures
  • OE ignition coils: performance drop of up to 40% after 4 hours, followed by thermal failures
