B18FT ignition coil variety?
Hello guys, I wanted to ask about ignition coil, what kind of you are using? Maybe there are few choices? Or should I buy one from ebay the stock one? Thank you for answers.

I've been using one from a 760 turbo for ages now with no issues. I reckon more or less anything similar will work, just make sure the king lead is a good fit

I have a spare coil (brand new ) which came as a spare with a 480 turbo I bought a few years ago. The car was a mechanics project and this was the one he was going to fit before he sold onto me.

Ffs.
I PMd you about a month ago looking for a coil. Ended up getting one all the way from that bodykitted 480 in Germany that's being broken.
However, if you have a brand new one I'd be interested

Have you tried http://www.ignitioncarparts.co.uk? You can drill down the search by chassis number. They were incredibly helpful on the phone with my BX a few years ago but you should be fine with just their online search.
I think the coil is fairly generic anyway. I was surprise to see the coil on my '87 B18E was exactly the same as my J5R engined Renault Master!
