Coil Pack Conversion

[R31Heaven]

I am about to do a coil pack conversion on my RB20NICS as the Coil packs are getting on in age. I will be using a EL Ford coil pack which will have a wasted spark sytem. can anyone see any problem in using this, or has done this to there own car and what type of coil pack did you use?

I have just done a conversion to bosch 717's with no dramas. Works a treat.

I too have recently replaced the stock RB20 coils with Bosch MEC716's sitting on a custom rail. Car runs and idles so smoothly now and has picked up a bit more power since the change.

You will probably find the EL coil packs are more expensive then the multi-fit item that GunmetalR33 used because the EL unit comes with the ghey brackets to suit the ford. You can use these brackets to mount them unless you have another way to do so, in which case it would be cheaper to buy the 717's (same coil pack)
