Relocating coils?

[GrandAmSE]

I hate having them under the exhaust. How do I relocate them?

You'll have to find a place you want to move them to and a way to bolt them down where you want them. Then, you'll have to lengthen all the wires that run to the ICM (the thing the coils attach to).

Wow, suprised this thread didn't get deleted when we lost some info a long time ago.

 

Basically, I pulled apart the harness's, found the wires I needed, reclosed the harness's, lengthened any I needed to, loomed them up, and set them on there way. The only bad thing about them there is that they did trap debris(small pebbles sand in size, I'm sure water hit them constantly causing a shorter life). If you do decide to mount them there, I recommend making some sort of plastic shield to protect debris and water from hitting them.

I like where mine are. lemme find a pic...

theyre under the cover on the left. I thought I had a pic witout that cover, but i guess not. I can take a better one if you want. they stay nice and cool there, and are so easy to change. I had to change one two days after it was relocated

 

[GrandAmSE]

Yeah if its not a PITA I'd appreciate it.

[Psych0matt]

I'll go get one or two right now then.

 

EDIT:

 

You like the fusebox mount? I cut up a cheap small garbage can! I need to redo it right, but that worked

 

how it looks when covered

[GrandAmSE]

I think I picked my spot. How many wires did you have to lengthen?

[Psych0matt]

I'm not sure, as it was done along with my engine swap. I wasn't the one who did that part, so i cant answer that

FWIW: If you do the 96+ intake swap, you can mount the coils up top, since in 96 they moved them.

I have a 96 intake and have been think about swapping it.
