Anyone esle running one of these setups, it cost me about $50 to build.

Well I have a full machine shop so that helps alot, but anyways... You just get coils out of a Intrepid 2.7 liter and make a mounting plate, then all there is left to do is wire it, i had to modify the coils tho because i wanted them to sit flush.

So heres is the Parts Break down
Coils $30 Ebay
Aluminum $10
Coil to get pug off $10 used
Total $50 <----

I will draw up a wiring diagram for you in a bit, i only know how to wire 1G tho, maybe 2G is the same they cant be that much different

So bsides getting rid of the plug wires. Are there any other advantages?

I looked at doing that several years ago, but once I got the coils I gave the project away. Those coils are absolute crap. Some of the cheesiest things I have ever seen. I am still toying with putting some LS2 coils on though.

ehh they work fine for me so far, not a misfire yet. I dont remember all the benefits, dwell time, no more arcing, and more consistant spark i believe. I have heard about 20x more people that say they like them so i went ahead and tried it out and so far im glad i have.

i wonder if they can supply a sufficient spark at 8000+ rpm.

[GVR-4579]

I am not sure, i never go much past 6500 with my stock cams

That is pretty sweet. I have a question though, what coils do the aftermarket coil-on-plug setups use?
