Direct replacement Ignition Coil EA81 Turbo (Hitachi)

Featured Replies

Hoping someone can help, I need a direct replacement Ignition Coil for a 1984 EA81 Turbo Engine.

My Service Manual advises that the Maker is Hitachi and the Model No is CIT-86. I am also running a Hitachi D4R82-03

Distributor. I have made endless searches on the Internet regarding the Hitachi CIT-86 coil, with no results. Can anyone tell me what the appropriate Hitachi Coil would be, or are there other alternatives. I have checked many suppliers and I am totally confused now, as one states that a certain coil will fit and another states it will not. Regards Non Culpa.

There are quite a few folks on this board who are running Accel coils.  I have an MSD on my turbo wagon and an Accel on my turbo coupe.  The both seem to work just fine.  Can't think of the part number, but if you search for it, you will find it.

I`ve used the AIRTEX/WELLS 5C1017 for a while.

Thank you for your replies, I will keep searching for a Hitachi replacement, someone on another site has suggested the the Hitachi CIT-86 could have been replaced by a Hitachi W0133-1628608. I will see what I can find out about this later Hitachi.
