the stealership quoted me $99 a peice for coil packs, or else I would have gotten some myself. I checked 2 of my current ones and one is cracked.

thanks, I'll let you know. The coil with the crack seems to be working fine. I glued the piece back on, and changed my spark plugs. Good to have my car running like its supposed to again. i.e. 95 ver2 sti ra.

I am about to go install the STI coils.
I went to my local electronics supply store (Radioshack does NOT have this stuff) and found a sweet crimp connector that fit the pins in the coil pack very well and accepted 14 awg wire. Removed the blue insulator and crimped on each connector and added heatshrink. This worked very nice and no need to solder! Filled the plug cavity with epoxy and then spliced the old connectors as Rob instructed. |

Why aren't people just getting a USDM WRX intake manifold harness and cutting it up and splicing it in? They can't be very expensive to get your hands on...

Other than a faulty coil pack the swap went smooth. I was fortunate enough to track another down and got the car up and running. I have one bad connection I need to investigate but it runs super smooth and pulls awesome to redline. This was a great idea! Thanks Rob!

You wanna send down some of them there fancy connectors with Christophe on Saturday? Finding that stuff in Boulder can be a challenge. And the Legacy swap just got moved up in position as far as swaps are concerned. The Ej20K will have to wait a little bit... |

Alright, after a good night's sleep (other) than trying to figure out what went wrong. I checked all the connections (+12V, continuity, etc) and voila! It works.
I will report on how its doing once I get to work. ok: this is miles of difference. I inspected my old coilpacks and only one showed signs of cracking but overall they looked fairly good. However, the new ones have zero hesistation at low, mid or high rpm. Holds boost no problem. If you have a 20G you need to do this! Now to figure out my V-mount IC Last edited by kingsubi; 04-05-2007 at 06:28 PM. |

Oh, and would like to add that the wiring diagram does look a little confusing on paper for the igniter, but it works out that if you just follow the wires and pretend the connectors are not there. The wiring works out.
Like this: The middle black wire on the left side (ecu) is the ground which you don't need to touch. |

I just bought a set of four New Age WRX coils off an '02.
Any idea how prone to failure the New Age coils are? Are they durable even if they're 5 years old? |

I guess what I'm concerned about is I got the set for $50 on eBay and wonder if they're broken or something. Seems like half as much as other people have paid. The guy said he "tested" them but I don't necessarily believe him. I'll find out soon enough I suppose.

I'm still a little unsure on how to wire up the igniter..... a before and after picture would be helpful I think. So What needs to be done is the the black part where the 2 harnesses go into is what your getting rid of completely correct?

I had the coil on the #4 cylinder let go on me a couple of weeks ago. However it showed no cracking at all. I just replaced it with one from an EJ20D and all is good. I'm assuming the the 20G and 20D packs are identical, and they must be because they look exactly the same and do the same job.
