COPs are f'king wonderful
 
And 99 miata coils are crap.

Ive finally got around to doing this and WOW. what a difference.

My plugs were gapped stock, around 0.40, and my AFRs are extremely bouncy. Not steady and all over the place. i know, i should have gapped them smaller, but after going COPs, the burn is better, my AFR's are completely stable, and it runs smooth as silk.

i highly recommend everyone to do a COP set up ASAP if youre going turbo.

Bryce 04-11-2008 12:10 AM

What kinda car COPs are you running?

Marc D 04-11-2008 12:15 AM

i am using the toyota coils from a 2001 celica, generally the ones everyone else is using.

Mark? I guess you got ur car running after that clutch job.

elesjuan 04-11-2008 01:58 AM

*sigh* Son of a bitch.

My coils HAVE to be bad somehow! :(

yea its been running. im just trying to get a decent tune now since everythign needs to be redone.

im now having a problem with hooking up the EBC, and i did a WOT run today since i changed the ignition system. thank god no misfiring, but it was only boosting 5 psi it seems. I really need to figure out this EBC soon if i want to boost more.

No, im not using the EMU anymore. that thing never worked right from the start for me.

samnavy 04-11-2008 12:01 PM

I just opened my Autolite's up from .040 to .045 and everything is good w/my my '00 Corolla COP's at 14psi.

Since the dyno a couple weeks ago where I put down 200whp, I've upgraded to COP's, uploaded an entirely new Spark Table, opened the plug gap, eliminated a bad stumble caused by an overly aggressive ACCEL Enrichment table, pulled the charcoal canister, and cleaned the engine bay thorougly.

I've gotta get back to the dyno and see where I stand.

levnubhin 04-11-2008 12:17 PM

Where do you guys usually find these coils?

^^^ those might be too expensive.

check around at salvage yards. most that i called up were selling them for 15 bucks a piece. i got my set for 79 shipped.

hustler 04-11-2008 01:31 PM

is there a how to for retards?

levnubhin 04-11-2008 01:33 PM

Ok, so if I find them at a salvage yard obviously I could grap the clips aswell. What do you do if you dont have the clips? Get them from Toyota?

Some of us might need a DIY with the PICS for DUMMIES on this one. Boy have I been out of touch on mods of this kind!!!

Marc D 04-11-2008 01:41 PM

check the "useful post" archive. everything is there, including pictures and diagrams for wiring.

i bougth the clips for a total of 28.00, then i had to buy the clips to install in the COPs themselves from newark.com

you can buy without a minimum order from newark, unlike other electronic component websites.

if you think about it, this modification is about 90-120 bucks depending on COP prices and the prices of wiring, making of the bracket, and other stuff. For NB owners, this is a great alternative when your stock coilpack starts to go out (which is common). A brand new standard coilpack from mazda is about 220-250 bucks.

ill take the COP set up.

hustler 04-11-2008 02:15 PM

tone down the disrespect. I've been in this one https://www.miataturbo.net/forum/sho...ght=cop&page=7

I'm a red blooded american, and read from top to bottom, not your satanic bible shit about reading from bottom to top.

Braineack 04-11-2008 02:17 PM

I still haven't read it thoughout, but since I have a 1.8 in a 1991, I should fire 1423...right? Do I need the resistor for MSpnp?

Braineack 04-11-2008 02:22 PM

yes, yes.

I vote to add a mandatory rule that write ups and pictorials must include at least 1 (hot) naked girl pic in it.

There's 3 sides to the fence that Brains pain emanates from:
1. The guy who won't search.
2. The guy who knows where to find something cause he's searched and can't figure out why people want/need to be spoon fed.
3. The guy who took a few hours of sweat and tears to create a thread purposely to be found by searching that spoonfeeds you the answers.
I've been all 3 of these guys in the past, but I go out of my way not to be #1.

Good luck finding an '00+ japanese car at your local salvage yard with the motor still in it. They do not exist in my neck of the woods. Maybe in one of the 50 yards down by the border in San Diego... but fat chance most places. If you want them shipped now, just spend the money on eBay.

On to more pressing business:
RAISE YOUR HANDS: Who knows how to do a title search?
Here's what it looks like when you do an ALL OPEN FORUM "title search" for the word COPS. Did somebody say the word "dummies"? Can I get an AMEN!!! (PS: I boxed it all rainbow -GAY- so you couldn't miss it)

chriscar 04-11-2008 10:55 PM

Looks like those ones won't work.
