So that means don't install anything but a Hanshin or Mitsubishi coil ... not even a Hitachi.

No, what this really means is quit guessing and learn how to troubleshoot your car better! Going this deep isn't really necessary but if you can (having the correct equipment) go this deep know your basic electricity theory and how different aftermarket parts act within the system...I use a freaking timing light to signify the coil pack strength and find those erratic firing coil packs/spark plugs...But having basic troubleshooting skills is a necessity and Danner is the exception! He's damn near an engineer knowing how the current, voltage, and resistance should look at different points in your harness/system! My take from this is using OEM parts keeps your car running closer to spec than aftermarket parts especially when mixing OEM with aftermarket...I'm sure if all the injectors were changed to those with 11.3 ohms resistance as well as the coilpacks being all the same Danner wouldn't have seen the difference in the amps/voltage peaks....Awesome info I must say....Awesome instructor!

See ■ 29 Hitachi Automotive Systems Hanshin in the following Hitachi Automotive Co document. It looks like Hanshin is a division of Hitachi. Reminds me of when Delco was a division of General Motors.
