the quiet achiever Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 hii`ve been following the starlet forums for some time & there doesn`t seem to be any good ignition up-grades that stand the test of timeis there any that actually add more than BLING ??is the multi-coil pack or the coil on plug mod worth it apart from the cost these are the only mods i`ve seen mentionedis there performance parts to replace in the std distributor i haven`t been able to find anyideas friends if there is anythanks lyle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 not many people are experimenting with new things, theres a few builds that have used coilpacks but most people see it fit to re-new the standard items and thats it (most cases this is enough) i guess its just expense and the fact there engine setup doesnt require it that people dont do it (needs a standalone ECU to run and mapping costs too aswell as the initial outlay)the first question you need to ask yourself is, do i really need it? running high rpm? (spark can disintigrate at high rpms) massive boost levels running nos etc etc? it can give you better fuel economy/driveability i guess.....but the initial cost and the cost of replacement coilpacks would easily be more than what money you`ve savedsocks has just commented on how much smoother his car has got just by replacing the dizzy cap and rotor arm...mabe you should do the same? get some new leads and iridium plugs (grade BKR5EIX for the N/A) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

the quiet achiever Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 hi just another thought canthe 4efte coil &ext coil set-up be used &adapted ?? this would then let you at least use a different coil & cdi unit wouldn`t it ?? what about the coil packs &trigger unit that is on one of the 4efe units STD has anyone done any work with them to see if it is fittable to another motor or checked it out for similaraties lyle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Simply put no one on here has tried it, if you want more info have a search thru tgtt thats where most of the high HP cars reside so you could possibly get some helpheres a thread and you can get the gist of peoples views hence why it hasnt been done http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index....amp;hl=coilpackthe 4efe which come in the ep95 are just cast away by people who are power hungry so theres never a chance to experiment, the bug eye corolla 4efe came with coilpacks too Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was reading the thread as I have the Corolla bug eye 4efe coil pack and harness. What would have to be done to adapt it to the fte ep91? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
