The coils are a little tight to get out against the body of the car. With a few minor automotive terms spoken they come out. It's a 3.4 with twin t3-t4 BB,3.2 manifold,modified 993 heat exchangers, J&S knock control and Megasquirt 3.

A quick picture. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1300825660.jpg

what type of crank trigger did you use? and injectors?

GSF 36-1 Pulley and sensor holder with ford sensor. It's worked good for me. Others make them also. I'm also using 540cc injectors which are borderline on being to small for my application. There right at 100% duty cycle using the stock 3.2 Carrera pressure regulator. If I were to get a adjustable regulator and bump up the pressure a little I think they will be ok.

I might also add that the cheapest way I could get the wire connectors for the coils was to buy three ignition repair harnesses from VW for 2001 1.8T jetta. When I get to the shop I could get the VW part number if someone needs it.

i would appreciate that thanks!! oh and if you want to increase the fuel pressure on the stock carrera regulator there is an old link in the 911 forum on that. Has you squeeze it in a vice to increase the pressure setting. I did that when i had my row carrera and had a steve wong chip in it. It worked really well.

thanks when i looked the coils up there were two listed would have the actual P/N for those?

The coil part # is 06A 905 115 D . I think I paid $12 or $14 a coil. I'll get the harness part# if I goto the shop tonight after work.

Are those coils CDI? What are you using to drive them?

They are a standard coil with built in igniter. 5V will trigger them. I am using a J&S Interceptor knock controller with MSIII. logic level output from MSIII does not have enough current to run four coils at once in wasted spark by itself. But since I using the J&S its ok. I'm going from MSIII to knock controller to coils. John at J&S used a different resistor in the controller to be able trigger four coils from one output.

It really depends on the input resistance to your coil's logic circuit. The MS3X ignition controller is capable of 25 milliamps. The LS2 coils I am running have an input impedance of 10K which results in only 0.5 milliamps draw per coil so 4 coils would only be 2 milliamps.

is the MS 2 powerfull enough for that? or do i need to go with ms-3?

MSII can only control 1 ignition circuit without modifications but this is a high current driver (Direct Ignition Coil Control). Using MSextra, you can have as many as 6 high current ignition circuits without MS3X(MS2-Extra Ignition Hardware Manual)
You can use MS3X to run high current ignition in COP or wasted spark but you will need to build additional circuits.

I have used both MSII-EXTRA and MSIII on this car. The VW ignition repair harness number is 1J0 971 658 L .

ok so i need to get the ,ms2 with this ms extra got it
and thanks for the other vw pn

If the extra few bucks isn't a problem I would go for the MS-III at least. I would also go for the MS-III-X too. I have the X board also but have not yet installed it yet. I want to go sequential fuel and spark and will be doing this soon. I have a two stage scavenge pump for the turbos with cam sensor to install. If you go wasted spark be aware they draw a lot of current. When I first got it running I was using one relay and fuse and at 4000 rpm it would blow a 25 amp fuse. I now have two relays and two fuses at 20 amps each and its alright.

so if you use sequential spark then you have to use a cam sensor instead of a crank sensor? that doesnt make any sense to me since the cam timing is not variable. What am i missing?

oh ok the cam sensor comes with the scavenge pump got it lol

You only need a cam sensor if you are going to run sequential. If you go with batch fire injection and wasted spark ignition, you can get away with a single crank pulley sensor. Also, you can convert your distributor to function as a cam sensor or even as a single wheel missing tooth system that allows sequential with only one wheel/sensor.

ok still dont understand why the difference, the crank turns twice as fast as the cam. Why cant you just program that speed difference in?
