InsaneSwede, you are one criminally insane swede!

Let me buy one of your children. I will train it well, and it will develop into a madman, just like you. And he can build me all manner of crazy cars, and I will feed him in return.

Hi guys..

what kind of ignition coils do you recomend that fits under std cover?

I got tip of VW 1.8 turbo.
But i know those can give som problems.

Any tips?

i'm using the coil pack from a 1993 corsa
its the amplified one. i'm using it with dta
very very cheap to buy.
there is a thread on the dta forum.

InsaneSwede · 09-09-2007, 22:49

not really what i´m looking for.

i want to hide mine underneeth std cover.
And i need the juice from directfire.
isn´t that an wastefire coil?

InsaneSwede · 10-09-2007, 17:41

I just bought 4 coils and loom from an Audi 1,8t for 50 quid.

I´ll try these first and see if they can keep up with the job.

Pics later when they arrive.

Hope you have some success with these but along with air mass they are the most common fault on the 1.8t's

Forever breaking.....the heat just kills them.
Might take some work to fit but have you had a look at the saab aero coilpack, off the 2.3 turbo. Unsure if its COP though

I can't see why the later dispack, coil pack setup from the late xe's, wont suit?.

specks · 10-09-2007, 21:39

He wants coil on the plug leads and no dispack in the engine bay.

astragsi · 10-09-2007, 22:35

Yes i know about the problems.
I have an solution up my sleeve.

I took a chance at this right now as a dead coil wont kill anything in engine.
They were really cheap.
My friends Golf IV has run perfectly for many years now with no problems.

They aren´t direct ignition?
They are as i know 'wastespark'
equals to me as 'junkspark'

and it looks butt ugly.....

That Nova is from Finland. I think InsaneSwede is maybe from Sweden.

Awesome project! Just read this thread from start to finish!

AMAZING!

lee303 · 11-09-2007, 15:57

motorbike coil on plugs are very good apparently a friend is going to run them in his xe, he got r1 ones off ebay for about £50 iirc

CraigGreen · 11-09-2007, 16:28

Just read this through.

Totally awesome project, nothing I love more than a well modded, one off car with lots of fabrication.

lee303 · 11-09-2007, 21:21

even just the size of the inlet valves stuffed into the head makes it awesome
