Default Nology Hotwires on an EP3

Can anybody tell me the part number required to put a set of hotwires onto a UKDM EP3 with the K20A2 engine?
It looks like they do a set that might fit but it says coil to plug conversion on it but I want to check that this will work with the standard coil packs?
Help! :d
Thanks in advance
James

i would post in hte rsx/ep3 section. this section is for the 01-05 non Si civics.

the coil packs are far superior to having a single coil and wires so im not sure why you would want to convert.

My bad...
a friend wants to swap his leads and as I know nothing about the setup on the K20A2 I thought you guys on here might be able to advise?
So are OEM leads as good as you will ever need? even if servicing?

The OE coil packs? Is that what you mean by leads? If so, guys are making 50o+whp with stock ignition on the k20a2. One of my buddies puts down 478whp in a DC5 and it's on stock ignition. No need to change. Nology wires with individual grounds were great for the B series engines.

I agree... before the big crash on EPhatch.com, there was a person who had it and stated that it doesn't do anything and is not worth it...you are better with your stock coil

A friend of mine that works for a performance parts distributer called me about 2 weeks ago and said they were on sale. I was like "dude, K series don't have wires". So then I went to their website and say that it converted the coil packs to run wires and pretty much laughed my *** off! WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO DO THAT!?!?!?!

Stick with the coil packs we have that everyone is jealous of. I can't see any advantage other than maybe show car status gains?
