Ignition coil HITACHI or APR

HITACHI Ignition coil

If you do replace a coil, go with OEM or quality aftermarket parts. Cheap coils cause new problems. The Hitachi coils on RockAuto are probably alright.

Pros: quality aftermarket parts
Cons: cheap coils cause problems

I got the coil conversion kit from import car parts and GD 2.0l coils. The new age coils needed to be trimmed a little from the edges to fit. I bought hitachi coils instead of oem diamond ones and saved a lot of money. They work perfectly.

Pros: work perfectly, saved money
Cons: needed to be trimmed

HITACHI Ignition coil

I bought the same Hitachi coils that were in my Nissan Pathfinder, along with new NGK plugs and everything has been kosher since. Fixed the stuttering issue I was having.

Pros: fixed stuttering, good quality
Vehicle: Nissan Pathfinder

APR Ignition coil

Not sure if this would matter but I did replace the coils with APR ones, from the stock ones, when I redid the valve cover seal. It has an APR stage 1 tune and and APR air intake. It has had both for the last 165,000 miles (currently has 175,000 miles).

Replaced the plugs and coils with Hitachis from Rock Auto for about $40 a piece. The Hitachis turned out to be dog \ud83d\udca9 and every one blew within about a year (the first one went bad in about a month).

Cons: blew within a year
Vehicle: Kia
Mileage: 75000 km

APR Ignition coil

I had these APR blue coils on for about 35-40k miles and they ran okayish. At idle my car ran a little rough and have tried different plugs with no change, then one day cylinder 2 started slowly losing power on the highway then just completely fell off the face of the earth when i pulled off. Let car take a break and went back to normal then exact same happened again. Speculated it was coils so swapped to oem and car has been running great 10k miles later. Overall like i said do not recommend whatever pixie dust is in these oem packs is just too good

Pros: ran okayish initially
Cons: rough idle, lost power, unreliable
Mileage: 56327 km
