COP kit intrest

So I was thinking about making the kit for my car to convert it to Coil on Plug and I was wondering if there would be any interest in buying a kit if I made a few while I was at it.

This is just a guesstimate but depending on how much I can get the coils for I was thinking the kit would be about 200ish. Prices for the NA and NB should be pretty close to the same I think but I guess I will see if there is interest
It would come with:
-harness
-4 coils
-coil mounting bracket

the harness would be loomed/heat shrunk (shrinked?) with all the correct connectors, nothing jank.

Let me know if I need to include anything else.

Kit would be something like this but with a much better looking harness:

Would it be plug and play with the stock ECU? If so, you could probably sell a bunch at that price.

Isn't this COP Kit already available?? -> http://trackspeedengineering.com/pro...products_id/28

Ya that is what this would be...just cheaper

And yes it would be plug and play with the stock ecu

Short answer, yes.

Long answer, it wont do anything for you if you can't tune out the spark and take advantage of the cops system. $300 waste of money without a tune and boost/lot more power than stock.

keep you from having to replace spark plug wires ... lol

They are more consistent than stock though but you are correct, without an aftermarket ecu you will not be able to tune them.

FWIW, the following would only apply to 99-00 owners.

I think most people would be be more interested in ditching the lame 99-00 coil packs for reliability reasons. $200 is cheaper than a replacement stock coilpack (replaced mine last year), and I'm sure these coils cost less than that to replace if/when they go out. A programmable ECU is definitely required for any tuning/power upgrades, but to have a more reliable system that is cheaper to fix than stock would rank a lot higher on some people's priority list than power upgrades. That being said, I was planning on going COP with Megasquirt at some point. . .

If you are planning to use Toyota COPs, then you'll need a programmable ECU to lower the dwell. Stock ECU dwell burns out those coils.

Any real benefits for a N/A 1.8 with MS3x? I've been tempted to throw together a $70 or so setup with the toyota COPS that show up used from time to time. I figure throwing a few more bucks into a setup next time the spark plug wires die wouldn't be that bad and I'd like to rid myself of the possibly problematic coils(long story, old issue that hasn't come back).

But I can't find any real info if they're worth the trouble without a turbo. Only thing I have is exhintake, bolt ons and MS3x, doesn't exactly fall into the 'lot more power' category so I dunno.

No real advantage on a normally aspirated car. If you run a coolant reroute, then getting rid of the coil pack buys you a bit of room at the back. Of course, they're easy enough to remove too.
