Finally Purchased a COP Kit
 

My COP kit arrived today and now I need to hit the salvage yard to find a OEM COP wiring harness. Either I-4 or I-6 as someone suggested taking a I-6 harness and just remove the 2 extra plugs. I think the kit looks great and I needed it since I have a feeling my current coil is on its way out. I will take some pictures of the install when it happens:biggrin:

Sweet where you get them

Sweet! Why have I never heard of anyone doing this before? I tip my hat to you John...you do it right my friend. :)
Nice skateboard. Tell the boys I said HI!

I don't understand what that is.
Coil packs all in one?

Coil on plug

Ah.
It's been so long since I've seen a M42/44.
I4 don't have coil packs?
So it's similar to an I6?

Is there an advantage?

John will have to explain the pros/cons of this set-up. I have never seen it on an M42/44.

rob_e30 has been selling them for the last couple of years. he has several posts on here about them. The main advantage is being able to replace individual coils, not having to deal with a coil "pack," and no spark plug wires. Never seen anybody suggest it is a HP gain, but new coils can't really hurt performance either..

It's a more direct and reliable ignition source. No plug wires = no resistance, and as mentioned you gain the ability to replace coils individually. More than anything though, it's just badass:tongue: Johnboy, I'm surprised you haven't made your own COP kit yet:confused:

Cop
 

Check out hqautosport.com. I have one of their cop kits on my 91 318is and 97 Ti. I won't claim any seat of the pants dyno hp improvements but feel the idle smoothed out a bit.

That is where I got mine during their last sale

Thinking about going this route too. Just checked out their page.

Man they look damn cool mounted on the valve cover. I'm hoping to control fuel at higher boost levels so I figured I would need to upgrade the coils. I'm tuning a map right now then I hope to work on the cold start enrichment and TPS later so I can start driving this regular again,
