Don't think you can use anything from the escort? Easiest way is to phone Stu and buy the rest of the kit

I don't know for def, but would have thought the collins ecu will have built in coil drivers, so you need nothing else, apart from a bit of wiring to coilpack.

Col,

Does your colins ecu come with any instructions? Really need a pin out to find out where the the coil pack driver pins are.

All you do the is feed 12v to the centre of the coil and the ecu grounds the oter pins to fire it.
