Upgraded Coil Packs?

[icespeed]

Are there any "better" coil packs for the protege/msp/p5?

while ripping apart my engine last weekend, i noticed that i melted one of my stock ones.

The Corvette LS1 coils are great.

what do you mean? they fit?

Define fit?

They're the best you can buy though. I think Haltech is a bit cheaper than GM directly. Lots of RX-7 guys run them, as well as Protege's.

 

[jamesk]

is it plug and play? do you benefit for NA and Turbo or no?

 

[Maxx Mazda]

Not plug and play. You'll need to use MSD's wiring kit for plug wires, then mount the coils on the firewall or something. It's pretty easy to do..

 

[jamesk]

do you have a pic of this set up?

i'm interested.

interesting

Go to Haltech's site. I think there's some info on it.

 

[jamesk]

there is really nothing on the site about it, just that they sell a ls1 coil pack.

so to my understanding is that we need 2. how do we connect the coil packs to the spark plugs or hook it up to the stock harness? i do not understand.

You need a standalone to run the LS1 coils, but if you buy Haltech's "dual coil" it's easy. Mount the coil to the firewall. Take your three stock wires (+, -, trigger) and wire them up. Buy an MSD wire kit and make plug wires. Done and done.

The stock coils are really good though. Why would you want to change them? Bump your dwell time up and they're good for insane amounts of boost.

Stock coils FTW....Buy a new one Sean. I've blown one. around $90

Are the Nology wires any good? I know MSP people have issues running properly with them, but NA engines seems to do fine.

Worst part I EVER purchased. Period.

Why do you say that I use them with no issues at all running 15psi.

 

[Maxx Mazda]

I got missfires like a **** lip! Took them off, and problem was gone.

Gonna order what..The Nology's?
If so..Why....?
Don't fix it if it aint broke.
And MaxX isn't the only person I have heard of with a pro having trouble with these wires.
