Coils that work with the 7M?

[eraezer]

Hello,
I've tried searching but can't really find much info on this subject.
What I want to know is which coils works with the 7M-GTE?
I would also like a coil with built in igniters to make it easier and to reduce the clutter.
And a side note is that I'm running a standalone.

Stock 7M-GTE coilpack
So far it seams as the stock old coilpack is the most popular. And sure it's good...until it starts to fail. Am I right say that getting brand new ones is out of the question?
There are two things on the downside here; it requires three igniters and is in a wasted spark formation.

IS300 coils
This seams like a equally good choice as the stock ones. Makes for a cleaner engine bay and works with the stock multiplex igniter.
So it's wasted spark and does also require three igniters.
The big plus is that these are easier to get a hold of in a good condition or even new.

MK4 COP
Here we have a coil that is designed for a coil on plug installation. It has a built in igniter. These seam easier to get brand new than the stock 7M-GTE coil.
But do they fit on the 7M? Or what about running them in a CNP formation instead?

LS1, LS2 and LQ9 coil-per-plug
This seams to be a nice replacement.
They are pretty cheap on ebay. They have a built in igniter. It might even be possible to use these as COP, but will they fit? And if using them as CNP, where do they fit with a stock intake manifold?

VAG 115R/115F/115L
This coil is popular here in europe on other cars but I havent seen them on supras yet. Anyone running them?
This is a COP coil with built in igniter.

What other coils are there that can work with the 7M? and can anyone straighten out the question marks about the coils above?

Thanks

My buddy got mistubishi coils to work with mine ;D

Which mitsubishi coils are those? I'm guessing that those are for wasted spark? Built in igniter?

I have is300 in mine and they work fine. You just have to extend the harness and tap and put something to hold them in place to the head.

nice i was wondering the same thing

I love the clean look the is300 plug look on mine. My ic piping is a custom job so they work great with the low pro file.

 

[eraezer]

Yes, it's clean, but it's wasted spark and requires external igniters.
Anyone else?

Is300 coils for me. I love them :-D

Appearntly they come off "any 4G63 DOHC from Galant GSR/VR4 to EVO0-3 and 4G93 DOHC" As for wasted spark.. no idea sorrie buddy... and don't think they're an inbuilt ignited seeing that I still have my external ignitor connected.

 

[eraezer]

Ok, I see.
I believe that they are wasted spark since each coil give spark to two cylinders.

has anyone seen the old MSD waste spark coils for the 7m? those were awesome back then.

I'm really interested.. I would love a COP setup that has a built in igniter to replace the stock one for a couple reasons.

check out supraforums, there was a thread about the LQ9 ignitors http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?645712-ignition-coil-upgrade-to-gm-lq9-coils/page2 , and theres this one: http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?646910-1ZZ-FE-Ignition-Coil-Install

Cool, although unfortunately I run stock engine management and don't plan on changing that anytime soon.

After I installed an MSD DIS-4 the stocked coils shorted to ground. My choice at the time was $300 for a stock replacement or $50 for the GM from the local pick-n-pull. I installed a set of GM coils. Not as neat as a set from a Lexus but if money is a concern. 2 years later everything is still working great.
