High-performance ignition coils HG suitable for BMW E31 E32 E34 E36 E38 VFL (M20/M30/M42/M50/M60/S50 engines)
Item no.: HGHSZS30
HG-Motorsport High Performance Ignition Coils from HG-Motorsport are the ideal solution for high-performance and tuned engines. Compared to standard ignition coils, they deliver up to 25% more ignition energy, ensure stable combustion, and prevent misfires – even under extreme conditions.
Especially in performance-enhanced engines (turbo, supercharger, or naturally aspirated setups), OEM ignition coils quickly reach their limits. These performance ignition coils offer consistent ignition power even at high RPMs and temperatures, making them perfect for both street and motorsport use.
Your advantages at a glance:
- Up to +25% more ignition energy compared to standard
- Stable ignition at high boost pressures & RPMs
- Extremely thermally resistant (tested up to 140°C)
- Plug & Play replacement for OEM ignition coils
- Ideal for tuning, track tools & daily drivers
Technical Highlights:
Thanks to optimized primary and secondary windings and high-quality materials, the ignition coils deliver a constant high voltage over the entire dwell period. Even at high temperatures, performance remains stable, whereas standard ignition coils often show a significant decrease.
The result:
✔ cleaner combustion
✔ improved throttle response
✔ higher efficiency and reliability
Areas of Application:
- Performance enhancements & software optimization
- Turbo and supercharger conversions
- Motorsport & Trackdays
- Replacement for worn OEM ignition coils
