Usually people have aftermarket EMS's like AEM to run coilpacks on honda motors that didn't come with them.

well the advantage is when you have one coil per cylinder, you have a much more powerful spark thru the whole rpm range, because in a single coil with distributor setup, you are discharging the coil 4 times per revolution of the engine (in a 4 cylinder) and with direct ignition coil pack setup, you are only discharging the coil 1 time per engine revolution. This gives a lot more time for the coil to charge giving a more powerful spark. Also it eliminates the need for cap and rotor replacement and moisture issues. It can be done on hondas but the problem is, you still need to keep your distributor because inside the distributor is 3 sensors on most honda mpfi engines. They control fuel injection timing and duration and also ignition timing. So unfortunately they need to stay there...It would be nice if you could completely remove the dizzy but it has to stay...

p.s. sorry for the long explanation
