Default Free with caveats: PNP LS coil harness for SADForce setup

The final-ish design for the Flow Force PNP LS coil harness is ready to go to production, but we'd like a tester for the non-VVT 1.8 version. There are a couple earlier prototypes in use that worked out well, and we've* simplified the design to make it, well, more simple.

This is meant to match up nicely with the SADFab bracket and wires, and used LS truck coils for a complete plug and play package (SADForce... get it?)

What you get: a production sample Flow Force plug and play coil harness
What you will pay: $0.00 including shipping, although local (Monterey/SF Bay Area) would be preferred
What you need: A 1994-2000 Miata, SADFab bracket, plug wires, LS truck coils, and an MS3 to power it all (I stand corrected - any stand alone will do)
What you need to commit to: have everything ready to install and test when I send you the harness in 2 weeks or so, and have the time to install and test and give detailed feedback with pictures and stuff.

Any takers?

Do you have a harness in the works for a vvt car? Very interested. Have all sadfab stuff, just waiting on a pnp harness to be made available

Yes it will suit the '01-'05 harness and '89-'93 as well, however we want someone with a '94-'00 for a test fit.


Should note the ECU you are using isn't important.

I have a 2000 and have been wanting to switch to COP. This is the perfect incentive. I have LS coils but need to order the sadfab bracket. Provided I can have the bracket within the next two weeks if ordered today, I'm in. I emailed Sean from sadfab and waiting to hear back.
I live in FL but am willing to offset some of the shipping cost.

Not sure if you saw my PM, but you may be our lucky winner No need to worry about shipping costs

Heard back from Sean. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they'll be getting LS brackets in for another month or two. There is a slight chance he may get me one sooner if a pending sale falls through. As a backup plan, I fabricated a quick mounting bracket solution that maintains the same SADFab bracket coil location. It's not nearly as nice but it's functional and will work until I get the one from SADFab. Let me know if this setup is still acceptable to you in the event I don't get the other bracket in time. Here are a few fit check pics...

As long as the spacing and location of the coils are quite close to the SADfab locations, which it looks like they are, then we're good. I should have the sample to send to you in a few days.

Great, thanks. Spacing should be the same and I tried to make the location as close as possible to SADFab's bracket based on all the images I found.

I installed and have been using the LS coil harness for a while now with no issues at all.
Now that I received my SadFab bracket, I thought I'd post some pics of the install. Harness fitment was great and installation was a snap.

Nice, thanks for the follow up. Looking forward to picking up a set of these once they're available.

Looks good! I love that bracket. Super tidy and functional-chic. I ran it on my car until I puller the turbo to pass smog.

I've got one production prototype for a VVT car. The only difference is the wire colors aren't right. Anyone who wants that one can have it for $30. The rest should be here in a week or so, and will be $59 for 1.8 cars and $69 for 1.6.

I assume the harnesses will be put up for sale on your official website and/or announced here somewhere?

Definitely interested in a set.

Indeed! Announcements will be on our Facebook page, and new things get quietly posted to our website when they are ready for sale

I’ll take the prototype harness for my VVT Exocet. I need to start building up my stash of parts for the eventual/inevitable turbo build.

Would you care for then hand-deliver shipping option? Just as free, way more fun.
