Coil pack conversion

Post by bbunkerc397 »

You need an engine management system, it can't be done with a stock ECU.

Coilpacks people use are from mazda 626 or ford cougar/mondeo. There's 3 coils in each pack, as opposed to 1 in the disty, so spark should improve. It's been more reliable that distributor based for me.

I'll have to do a bit more research before I attempt to do this.

Ya, the later model 626 used coilpacks, but you would have to swap that whole harness and ECU.

Really, the only way at this point is coilpacks with Megasquirt or going coil-on-plug

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
