Also, the other problem is that the connector is insulated. Requiring a special expensive tool to pin / depin it. *So i'm told.
To be honest, i don't know the logistics of his business. I'm leaving that completely up to him.

You can't compare because you don't have all the info, you're just guessing, and he can't come here and post up because that'd be advertising or something.
I don't care.
I'm actually kinda hoping for an in depth comparison, but doubt it will happen any time soon.
But yeah, Bryan is doing this full time now and I'm kinda surprised he's not become a vendor already. I'm guessing (and HOPING) that its because he wants to really prepare everything and have a legit company ready to ship orders this time around so the huge delays and lack of communication doesn't happen like with the intercoolers.

The connector that mates to the stock harness making it a P&P setup.

The fact of the matter is that no coil on plug coil is particularly hot. The beefiest coils are too large to be packaged as a coil on plug and are instead packaged as coil near plug. They're also inductive. A cheap but good coil near plug example is GM LSx style coils. I have 6th gen 6.0 truck coils on my turbo Miata. More spendy, but the IGN-1A is even hotter, used in the highest boost applications.
The benefit of CDI is short dwell time, useful on a 15k RPM sport bike, but not really something we need to worry about on a 7k rpm Mazda B-series. The tradeoff is very short spark duration. Inductive can have a much longer spark duration, making it more likely to ignite the fuel/air mixture. I'll take inductive all day long.

Ben, the cbr coils are not cdi. Well at least not the ones I'm using.
I'm running them from the igniters you sell for the diypnp without a cdi box. So they can be run inductive.
I did put an AEM cdi box on but it would overheat and shut off at highway cruising speeds. Like a dumd *** I haven't sent the box in for repair but even if it were fixed I don't see a reason to use it now for a NA application.

Some CDI coils can be used with an inductive igniter, some can not. Our IGN-1 coil can be used with either an inductive or CDI igniter.
I thought the CBR coils were CDI from Honda, but I could be wrong. I don't have easy access to bike wiring diagrams.

I got the coils from a friend that works for a honda dealer so maybe he can get me a wiring diagram.
The AEM coils are propriotery copies of the honda coils. They have them made to their specs but the only thing different i could find researching it was the primary resistance at 0.9ohms as opposed to the honda coils at 1.5ohms. Also the AEM coils dont need sparkplugs with removable tips. That and the AEM coils are more expensive.
After some more reading I stumbled across an old thread on some honda forum that went into a discussion about the coils. Concensus was that they are indeed induxrive but work extremely well as a cdi coil for reasons I can't recall right now.

Coil pack and igniter from a turbo DSM(eclipse,talon,laser) and no mods required. Simply replace the factory miata parts. No fuss, no muss, 15 minutes worth of work, and cheap. Of course you don't have the "cool" factor of COPs which is why 80% of miata drivers have them rather than out of necessity.

best of the best is GM LSx coils, search google for Miata GM coils. not plug and play, but best spark, and what all the MT.net cool kids run.
