Are ka24de coils the same as ka24e?

[oldschools12]

Hey i searched but are ka24de ignition coils the same as ka24e? I'm pretty sure that the ignitor chips (EDIT: should read power transistor) are the same, but i wanted to know if i can use a ka24e coil on my ka24de.

thanks

EDIT here is the answer:

Two completely different things.

BoostedCoupe- Don't post if you have no clue, you're only confusing others.
allstock- There is no igniter on the KA, only a power transistor, which does not do the same thing.

The KA uses a coil for all variations, however the S13 cars use an external coil while the S14 is internal within the distributor. The SOHC and DOHC coils are indeed different in design and mounting but do interchange.

Hopefully future people will read the entire thread and get the right answer, not all the gibberish written above.

might be wrong but ka's dont use coils do they? i think the sr only runs coils. but if your talking abou the spark plug wires then i would say no. i dont think the ka24e plugs go down in the head as much as the ka24de. the de goes in on top and the e goes in from the side. might be wrong but i think im right.

the ka's use one ignition coil...is that called ignitor? i have an s12 200sx and we call em coils

i think he meants the igniter.

Yes, all s13 coils are the same. The S14's run a completely different system.

thats the answer i was looking for. mounting doesnt concern me since this isnt even going on a s13....i swapped a ka24de into my s12

they will see this since im adding it to the top

the de coil looks different and mounts to a different place but all the plugs are the same

i tried using a ka24e coil on a dohc used the sohc plug did'nt work. Swapped in a dohc one and car started.

could have been a bad coil

Ok, so if S14 coils are internal, and S13 are external, why can't you rewire the S13 harness to use the S14 distributor and coil? (assuming you are putting a S14 dohc into a S13 dohc)

Because it is an unnecessary pain in the ass, and so far across the line, compared to the alternatives.
Why modify/fabricate some shit when you have a bolt-in alternative waiting to be used?
