The exhaust housing of my new turbo is getting ceramic coated at the moment, so while I can't work on installing the new turbo, I am instead installing coil on plugs. I am retaining the triggering from the distributor instead of adding a sensor on the crankshaft. If it aint broke, don't fix it! It also makes it much easier. All I need to do is wire in the COPs to the ECU and change one setting to enable direct fire. Many thanks to RobK for his guidance. I figure that I will need coil on plugs to handle the higher power level that the bigger turbo will deliver, so it makes sense to do it now. The next weak link may be the fuel system, though I am going to see how it goes on the dyno before I make any changes there. The aluminium bracket came from the USA, so I now have three 11mm head nuts on my car. #facepalm #merca 🤦♂️🤷♂️😢

Very little is achieved without a challenge and what a challenge that's been.
If I could spell accolades I'd use that. Well done Glenn.

It should be faster than that with the new turbo I am yet to fit.

My car is also much faster with the LFA engine that's not in it ;)

Sound clip of that moment would be sweet. Is that powering out of the corner or going through off throttle?
Who needs inside fronts anyway?
