morganson's COP S-Type setup

[supraguy@aol]

Now that!!! Is niiiiice!!

Sent from my LG Optimus G

What he said. Way nicer with the black plugs.

I currently have the IS300 mod, but would be very interested in switching to this simply for the aesthetics, as well as the fact that the coils actually fit snug on your mod.
I will be staying tuned into this thread, to see what you guys come up with for mounting plates, as well as harness prices.

This may be a stupid question but how to you have the plate mounted to the head? Or is it not mounted

 

[morganson]

In that pic it is not mounted. When it is in the car I have the threaded galley plug at the front to hold the plate down but its really moot because these boots will never let go. Lol

Major thanks to AbsoluteSpeed for the hook up on the cad drawing. Things are serious now guys!

Right now I can do just a harness for about $60 that's including shipping but I'm not making a penny on these.
I still have to find out what the plates are going to run. If I can get a few we will be gold. But I'm not trying to make fortune here. Just trying to make a nice setup available for cheep.

Awesome, I'm in. Looks a lot cleaner than the IS300 mod which I have for several years now.

 

[mstgeer]

I'm in for a setup as well.

The market will soon be flooded with the Tookwik setups, anyone want to by mine now before the prices plummet?

 

[Scooter7M]

I must have the wrong boots then, mine are pretty loose.

 

[morganson]

There are some boots that you get that are not formed right. If nothing else you can buy the boots cheap from any autoparts store. Boots for a 2003 escape are the best I have found so far.

 

[supraguy@aol]

I know we already discussed this, but to clarify-
Either the dg500 or dg528 can be used, we just need the proper length boot, correct?

 

[supraguy@aol]

Ps- how does the ~45Kv output compare to the is300 cop power?

 

[morganson]

Yes either will work. The plate is designed for the DG500 and the 500 is easier to find. As long as the plug sits flat you will not have clearance issues. Also the boot that comes on the 500 is better for getting a solid seal. And the coil is cheaper overall.

The is300 coils are rated at 28kv probably due to the longer dwell.

 

[supraguy@aol]

Lol.
And ps again-
How hard would it be to make the plate out of carbon fiber?
I mean, its just a flat piece, with holes drilled out of it, right? Anyone up for trying that?

 

[suprarx7nut]

Cool idea/build morganson. I'd like to update my coils and get rid of the ugly 7M coil pack. I'll have to keep this in mind.

That's what happens when a CADmonkey gets bored..

Man, I'm always amazed at how quick the CAD guys are at work. I took a few classes in engineering school a few years ago and I can draw parts and assemblies and all, but you can certainly tell when somebody does it for a living. The guys at my work will whip out an intricate part in no time at all while I would still be working on the first couple extrusions. Thankfully, I don't rely on my CAD skills to pay the bills, haha.

 

[Scooter7M]

Hmm. I robbed my coils from a junkyard escape. I'm almdot positive it was a 2002. How do I know if I have a dg500 coil?

No problem. Please make sure to print one off and see that the coils will fit before you send it off to be made.

Haha thanks. Sadly I never got a CAD job after finishing school so I started a trade. I think its time for me to get back into it though. Working outside at -20c all week sucks.

The dg500 has a long boot (5")
The DG528 has a short boot (3")
I have had a problem with the 528 boots being loose.

 

[supraguy@aol]

Are the boots easy to cut to proper length without screwing them up?

Yes a razor blade does the job, or even better a hose cutter for a clean even cut.

And here i thought i was done spending money on the engine...
Gonna have to do this.
