LSx coil thread
#127
Im also doing the upgrade to the ls2 truck coils and here is my attempt. It was getting dark outside and i messed a bit of cable up. So i need to order one.
I think it looks pretty nice already. Engine bay looks nothing special, but then again the outside is stock with a classic carrier so a little bit sleeper style

If anyone needs a bracket for D585s as well as custom ignition wires, we are now offering them for all NA and NBs!

Another option is the "IGN-1A" Coils by AEM, part number 30-2853 . They have enough juice for about 250hp per coil and can be run in wasted spark if needed. I'm running very high boost on a built engine with .036 plug gap and no spark blow out. The main reason I got them is for the 1 year warranty and they're $80 a piece.

Would some one be willing to make a pnp harness for my 99 nb?
I can mail the pigtails and oem plugs, and compensate for parts/time/labor involved.
I tried to have fab9 do an ls coils pnp harness for me, he said sure we can make it, just order the plugs for the coils. so i ordered plugs, and called to place an order 10 times, left 3 voicemails, and sent 5 emails, over a period of 2 month's. and fab9 still has not picked up the phone, nor called back, nor replied to my emails.

This thread was pretty helpful during my D585 install but it lacks some information on Dwell settings. I have seen a few other threads mention nominal Dwell being around (4.2-4.7ms) but nothing on cranking Dwell (currently set to 8.0ms). I made a video on installing these into 90-93 cars using the factory harness, SADfabs bracket, D585s with factory pigtails and connectors, and DIYPNP MS2. Very easy to set up for wasted spark but I don't have any tach signal the way I did it. Easy to fix running from tachout in MS to the back of the cluster but there are also other ways, just depends on your setup.

Now that I've got them working (see https://www.miataturbo.net/megasquir...mystery-90677/ for my moronic problem), here's my coils mounted on my DIY bracket (mentioned in this thread):
The brackets are surprisingly solid, 3mm aluminium, you can put your hand across the CNPs mount and rock the whole car.

The popular video for this is great, but I'm unclear on what I should be doing with my igniter. He took the cover off and soldered a few of the pins together. Any more information on the what and why? Thank mr skeltal
Edit: got my answer, it's a cleaner way of joining the wires proximal to the connector. I r smorter
