LSx coils

[northwestsupra]

i was just asking if the main connection from coil to harness is a LS1 connector or LS2 connector. the difference is minimal.

Wow very nice information!!!

That wiring diagram is slightly confusing to me. Would this be correct:

A: Ignition on power.
B: Ignition signal (positive or negative?)
C: ?
D: Ground

Are those capacitors necessary? If so what is there function?

That wiring diagram is slightly confusing to me. Would this be correct:

A: Ignition on power. (correct)
B: Ignition signal (positive or negative?) (not really sure ill look into it another time)
C: ? (if im thinking of this right i think the ignition wires from your stand alone system or possibly just a 5V power, most stand alones have this, but i dont know if its to be a constant 5v or a signal 5v
D: Ground correct.

Are those capacitors necessary? If so what is there function?

i have no idea on the capacitors or what the point of them really is going to be. IJ any ideas?

Caps are just to pull any "noise" out of the circuit.

 

[northwestsupra]

no not really needed, but recommended then?

 

[Supraboostin]

northwestsupra you think you can get a smaller sig? that thing is huge

Depends on how noisy the circuit is Trevor.

•For signatures without an image, try to keep it to approximately 10-15 lines of regular-sized text. Note that coloured text may not be correctly viewed across our multiple site styles, so it may be best to not use coloured text.
•For signatures with only an image, keep it below 650x225 pixels and below 200KB. Also, do not use Windows Bitmap (.BMP) format.
•For signatures with a combination of an image and text, keep the image below 650x180 pixels and below 200KB. Try to keep your text below 10 lines of regular-sized text. Also, do not use Windows Bitmap (.BMP) format images, and remember that coloured text may not show up properly across all site styles.

FAIL on 2 counts....

So you would reccomennd them to be on the safe side?

My sig pic is about the max. Its under on width by 30 pixels.

I hope you guys got those coils new instead of used. I bought my set from this guy in 2006 and I got wires included for 185.00 shipped, so 200.00 today is a good deal. I had the bracketts cut, and welded to accomodate 6 coils and mounted them on the head on the intale side betwee the FFI and fuel rail. This is wired to a Wolf v500.

this might or might not be the official mounting of them idk yet. i have to get the spark plug boot connectors to them so i can use my magnacore 8mm's and yes they are all new, set of 8 so i got a plan A and plan B in case

how I did it

 

[Flateric]

Interesting, I was able to get mine into the valley but I put coil 2 over plug 1, coil 1 over plug 2, sorta crisscrossed, but I think 2jz gives more room there.

FFIM! i dont have one or else id do that

can you shoot me a picture ??

That looks really cool!

What are they mounted to?? How are the coils connected to the plugs? Can you get a COP style boot for them?

could probably make one might be able to just make a double ended connection that you can slip into the coil end that will snap to the spark plug, little bit of soldering can do wonders.

What are the coils mounted to? What is that "black stuff" surrounding them?

if i read right its the ls2 bracket thats been cut up a little.

Lol, I'm talking about your setup that's in your build thread.

 

[northwestsupra]

ahhhh sorry didn't catch you were asking me..... well currently nothing is holding them in place or even mounting them, they are holding themselves in the spark plug hole, there are 2 black mounting tabs on both ends of them, if trimmed off it will clear the IC pipe and you can place them straight up and down like a COP. But you'd have to make a direct connection plug for the COP like setup "no wire at all" only thing i'm unsure if it will clear and i just thought of it was the throttle bracket.

if i could mount the coils 1 next to the each other really close then mounting them would be easy, but i fear that there could be "interference" with the signal.

you also asked whats the black stuff surrounding it, im guessing your talking about the black thing kinda wrapped around the center, its a metal casing, not sure the point of it besides maybe strength and maybe shielding magnetic forces?

 

[northwestsupra]

not mine but more inspiration, the only problem again was FFIM i dont have lol but it set me to trying different ideas. here they are

this looked like a good spot, but the only issues i see is the BOV is kinda in the way, i'd have to make a block off plate for the Idle control valve stepper, and the oil cap. so then i flipped that side to find that it could easly work this way to.

but for some reason i still think stacking them on the firewall would be my best shot for simplicity. kinda like how i had the stock coils originally.

btw my ls2 coils in the picture were just being held in place by plastic straws seems to work for temp placement
