I am going to move the coils from under the intake manifold to where my ABS used to be. I have seen it done on a few cars over here and it make sense to get them away from as much heat as possiable.

this is a easy one but you need to make sure to ground the pack holder to a good groud and get longer wires

I just finished moving my coils, I will post some pictures. It clears up alot of room under the manifold, helpful when running braided lines. Plus it just looks alot cleaner. It almost looks like they belong there, with the abs gone there are places to mount ****!

I did this about a year ago when I ran my braided lines thru that area...lol...



If you can find some 13B-RE coils(cosmo) they plug right into the stock FD wiring harness and look like they belong in an FD without the ABS

Or you can move them by the driver's headlight where the 2nd gens have them using 2nd gen wires.

Garfinkle ( who makes torque braces ) moved his coils to the drivers side fender wall below the master cylinder . He uses a crane Harley D leading and the stock trailing coils . The MSD wires he made up are short and straight to the plugs .The wiring was easy and includes a Jacobs amp .

I saw a couple cars with the coils and amps inside the car at the passengers feet, any input on that? I was originally going to do it, but I was worried with that long of a wire I need more amps to get the spark there in time..hehe
