scott87 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 It's not too electrickeryfying a job, here's a couple of pics of an NA/T with coil-packs. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=180768&d=1392307660 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=180769&d=1392307660 It does look cleaner your not that far away to help What sort of cost is involved? Have u done it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Planning to fit coil-packs to mine this very weekend. I'll post things about it in my Supracharged thread and Labyrinth.

Ah that's cool thanks very much Could u pm me a rough idea on cost involved. I assume the ecu I'm installing will have coil support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I paid £60 for VVTI coil packs and DH61 Ignitor and treated them to new leads for £30, a T.T. ECU can be picked up for a song too. This is the cheapest bestest upgrade you could ever make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I wire in a tt ecu after mapping and if done right it won't effect mapping or is that not how will it will work? Completely foreign territory to me.

David P Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Not selling that FIC and not buying A.N. Other Piggyback, will save you enough money to upgrade to coil-packs, which will also make room for your turbo & plumbing and leave enough money leftover to buy me a few beers.

Fic is going anyway as can't run the risk of getting a tt ecu wiring that in getting the mapper down and it still not working. So I'm going with a different ecu.

Do the sums and talk about it with the Guru you pay. Edited February 14, 2014 by David P (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the sums and talk about it with the Guru you pay. I couldnt agree more. But the ball is rolling new ecu ordered and old ecu sold. The new unit is far better and has many more features so will be useable for this build and later developments. But i have learnt from the mistake. Having said that im really keen on swapping to coils so i can tify the intake side of things up. Its that and a modified tt or custom intake that are next on my cards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott87 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Got a set of pulleys nice and cheap so had these fitted today. Got a fair few bits left to clean and cables to tidy away in the bay. Also thinking of going matt black for most of the parts to try and get a stock look.

Rich.2211 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Pulleys look good mate, I wouldn't mind a set of those myself! I take it it's a radiator out job to fit them so there's enough room to get an impact gun in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 and to add, shes getting there matey. Good luck with the COP conversion i have no idea of the benefits but if David says its worth it i would tend to agree with him...(no homo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodalmighty Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Ah that's cool thanks very much Could u pm me a rough idea on cost involved. I assume the ecu I'm installing will have coil support! You fit a TT ecu and it will happily run this the same as your NA ecu. Lyndon.

David P Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) if David says its worth it i would tend to agree with him...(no homo) Mr T. fitted coil packs to the T.T. to provide a stronger spark which prevents boost from blowing out the spark. Definitely hetro. Edited February 21, 2014 by David P (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 What about a hks dli or equvilant ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) An HKS DLI II can be used to boost the N/A ignition system, yet these are no longer available and cost around £500 when they were. There's no "equivalent" device that I'm aware of. Currently I'm running one of these which will be removed when the coil packs go on. This simpler and rare as rocking horse poo fix will soon be up for grabs. Edited February 21, 2014 by David P (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Don't want one bad enough to buy the one that's presently advertised on ebay as a DLI 2 that is actually a common or garden DLI. HKS DLI is for multiple (6 or 3) coil T.T. ignition systems and still available. HKS DLI II is for single coil N/A ignition system yet no longer available. The correct one must be used.

scott87 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Day started out well with bacon! Well got the AEM out today and wired in the new ecu. Car is running sweet as a nut with the new wiring in. However with the ecu connected we are now getting a random fuel cut issue, so this has caused us not be able to map the car. Thinking we need a resistor somewhere to clean a signal up or something. But the electrics are now in good hands and sure it will be up and running boost in no time! Also moved my expansion bottle to somewhere i can get constant access to it. Yes its on a bit of a tilt but the hose has been forced in at an angle and is still at the bottom of the expansion tank so will not cause an issue.

scott87 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Organised getting my stage 4clutch from wAlkerr. Or spoke about get if it at least. Also spoken to the garage about having it fitted and the car under sealed whilst everything is off. It's also going to give me the chance to give the box and the prop a lick of paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Glad to see it's coming along, is it a standalone your running? Just wondering if it's another piggy if the stock ecu is seeing positive pressure somewhere and fuel cutting Edited February 25, 2014 by Fly (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
