Few questions..



Where do you put them?



What do you do for wires?



Do you need to add any grounds?

The trail coils (on the FC anyway; FD should be similar) are basically 3 terminal devices - the spark plug wire and the 2 primaries. The ground for the secondary shares with one of the primaries.

The lead coil is a 4 terminal device - each end of the secondary coil goes to a separate spark plug wire;



There do exist "isolated ground" coils, such as many COP coils - these require a separate ground wire.



You can put them virtually anywhere you want - just keep them away from the exhaust. Primary wire should be maybe 16 wg. For spark plug wire, just use a good quality suppression wire, and try to route them away from sensitive things like the crank angle sensor and its wires.

Are u still using the power steering and ac compressor? If not i can send u a picture of my setup. It's very simple setup. I still use the brackets where the coil sits in and all u need is 2 spark plug wires from a turbo II. PM me an email address and i'll send u a picture. Later!
