as above, at the moment my car is still running twin coil on plugs, i want to change to a single coil, i know Rainbird does the leads to fit the YBP head but what coilpack is used on the cosworth???
Does ayone have the Ford finnis number or what Ford its off.


thanks in advance.

Mines runs coil pack from zetec fiesta/focus.

Cheers Euan, does yours have the leads that 'clip' on the coilpack or just push on?

foreigneRS

you can't change to a single coil unless you then use a distributor - the coil pack is still 2 coils that fire to 2 cylinders at once so what's the point to change?

rapidcossie

they clip on mate..

My old leads were converted to run with the coil pack.

Nick, wake up

normally cosworths are changed to coilpack to lose the distributor

the point to change to change is that the coil on plug packs get very hot & become unreliable with big power, there also expensive to replace, a sigle coil located out of the cylinder head will keep a lot cooler, work better, last longer & if it does need to be replaced its a sight cheaper

Small Turbo coil packs are £164 each mate so yes a sight cheaper

matt you can use the small turbo cam sensor instead of the dizzy, on mine i use a pug 1o6 coil £28 new then use any french lead and it will still fit under the cam cover plate

i know that the YBP does not have a dizzy matt, that's why i said that if you went to a single coil (not the twin coilpack) you would need to use a dizzy

it was a slightly facetious way of pointing out that the coilpack is still a twin coil, not a single coil as you asked about. but that's just me being a pedantic twat

i appreciate that having a coilpack positioned elsewhere could be more reliable, but i just prefer the simplicity of the coils on the plugs

I've got cossie managment and DIS on my XR2Turbo and just use a FRST/XR2i/XR3i EFi coil pack, easy to get hold of 2nd hand.

the original

I use the eecIV coils with no problems
they have never given me problems at 2 bar boost
and i think they're just as reliable if not more
there's no external plug leads to break down/get wet
and they can be bought very cheap, they're same as granada ones

Thankyou for all you're replys

from Ford there about £150 each

i got offered a new set for £75 each, i'd rather convert to a single coil though.

obviously wiring is different aswell.

Ryan its on Omex with a different loom anyway, i will change it to suit.

NEEDFORSPEED

yes easy to change the wiring even with the original eec4. i have lots of zetec/efi coils if anyone needs any!!
