[BadCab]

Last update since this project is done. Here is what it looks like.

or a COP kit for $150.

Nice work though.

Who has COP kits with new coils for $150

[rob_e30]

I do, well it's $160 shipped via Priority. They're M42 specific kits and not PnP for the M44 or E36 (94+ cars).

I was going to say the same thing.......... great COP kit through HQ there.

But great job as well OP!

Gotcha, last time i looked on your site they were $190 but that was awhile ago. Cool. Thats a good price. If i didn't care about the BMW beauty cover that would have worked for me. I do like the idea of having the spark plug holes pretty much sealed up with this setup, i can hose off the engine without having to worry about filling up the head plug holes with water.

On a side note i have noticed a big improvment in cold engine start up and gas mileage too. My other wires and coils must have been shot. Stopped doing the missing off line too but i need to put in my old cam sensor again to make sure it wasn't the sensor. When i had put in a different sensor it still had the off idle hessitation for a little while and then stopped so i don't know what fixed my problem. It was either the cam sensor or the coils.

These are being used in more and more S14 applications as well. I plan to use them when I finish mu Autronic harness.

Are those the Bavauto red tops?

[M-technik-3]

No those are okada plasma coils.

The s54 coil is same style as later m54 coil pack. I considered using these but still done like how the cover doesn't sit flush. When I get more time hopefully I find a coil pack which is a perfect fit.
