Default Are F20C coils "amplified" or not?

Hoi,
My aftermarket ECU (Omex 710) requires factory modification if the coils it's firing are "amplified". Specifically, Omex have to remove the internal drivers if that is the case.
But I have no idea whether S2Ks' coil(s-on-plug) are considered to be the amplified type.
Anybody???
Anybody successfully driven their F20C with an Omex 710?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Steve, in the NLs

S2000 ignition coils contain an internal igniter. No external drivers/amplifiers/igniters used. The ECU will provide a logic level signal to fire them.

Wow. Thanks! That's exactly what I needed.
Now let me further ask...by "logic level" does that mean ground or 5V or ???
Sorry, the guys that are helping me to figure out my ECU problems are asking.
Thanks, again,

Read up on K20/RSX coilpack wiring - they're electrically the same as S2000 coils since they swap right in. Plenty of info out there, you've just got to search through it.


FWIW, I've not heard of modern coilpacks being triggered with ground - it's usually a 5V logic level signal to trigger, but up to you to verify.
