i remember seeing performance ignition coils and wires that are off of a different bimmer. is there any mods to be done to the ignition other then the ignition wires
and where can i get a good chip for my ti that will increase my performance for the most bang for my buck?

I say you try it Bobby, it looks nice and it sounds like it works good. Keep us posted. | | | | | 06-07-2008, 05:48 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Southern California - Orange county Posts: 978 |
i saw that before but i dont understand it. the original ignition goes from the plugs to the 4 ignition wires then the rectangular coil thing right? if i got that bracket and the bigger plugs off an E46 (i think) then would i need a e46 retangular coil thing too __________________ 1995 318ti Cosmos Black

No. There is no multi-coil pack in a COP ignition system. The coil is the thing that is sitting directly on the sparkplug. The wiring goes straight from the ECU/electrical system into the individual coil, the ECU tells it to spark, and the coil generates a spark directly into the spark plug.
There are no spark plug wires.. Just little connectors between the end of the coil and the sparkplug.
You would end up removing the existing coil pack(rectangular thing with four spark plug connectors), cutting off the plug that goes into the old coil pack, and then wire up each individual coil. A wiring diagram was posted on here, as well as information about using an older wiring harness to do the custom wiring. | | | | | 06-07-2008, 07:06 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 |
now what exactly is it suppose to do? allow a better connection b/w for the coilpacks to the spark plugs??
i just a headache cuz thats too much info that i was reading in a little amount of time. looks complicated but i think bobby will be able to figure it out pretty easily. __________________

there are different numbers? hmm i didint know that josh
and i just pulled off my coil pack, there are only 6 wires i thought there would be 8 (2 for each plug) well anyways those 6 wires run to the coil pack and then the coil pack splits into 4 plugs for each spark plug
i gotta do more research befor i start this mod __________________ 1995 318ti Cosmos Black

http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=20823 There is the wiring diagram.. 1 ground, 1 power, and then 1 "pulse" wire for each individual coil. They share power and ground, and then there is just a gate that opens when the other individual wire has current from the ECU. | | | | | 06-09-2008, 05:00 AM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Southern California - Orange county Posts: 978 |
