Distributor to Coil pack conversion?

El_supracabra · 02-09-2011, 04:48 PM

has anyone tried swapping out the Dist for a cam sensor and slapping on a coil pack on an NA mk3 as a power adder?

just curious.....

There's not really any power to add... The 7M-GTE's ignition setup would require a complete electronics swap which is a bad idea as the timing maps are more conservative, you'd lose the ACIS system, and you'll need to add a fuel controller to get the fueling back to normal for a N/A.

You could look into adapting one of the points conversion kits they make for some domestics or a full aftermarket setup like the ones offered by MSD; The MSD6x series if I remember correctly.

It's all overkill though, none of this is going to next you enaough of a gain to justify the work and money... if you gain anything at all.

Hey thanks for the response! I was just thinking that maybe it would be easy IF the GE ecu would support that function of the GTE ignition system. Oh well.

Nope, no good. It wouldn't take much to go the other way and put the GE's dizzy on the GTE though... a bit silly though.
