RX8 Coilpack Failures

***TitaniumTT*** · 09-29-2009, 08:59 PM

I agree plug and play is certainly nice, I'm just saying that there are some of us that can weld and fab and are brave enough to cut into a factory harness, for those of us there is alot of $$ to be saved.

If I was doing this on an 8 I would cut way back into the factory harness and splice in a few metri-pack connectors and build two harnesses from there out. One using all the factory wires that could be pluged back in and one for the LS2 coils. The obvious better choice is to source the same connections as BHR did and build it yourself.

When building parts like this though you almost always have to make them plug and play so I definately agree with what BHR did and I'm not knocking thier product at all. Frankly, I think it kicks some pretty severe ass. However, this thread is here to help a race car where I'm sure the factory harness has already been stripped down if it's there at all. That's where I'm coming from in posting up about the cheapest way to get those coils on a Renni
