I've read about coil packs for each plug area but what is the differnce than the normal spark plug setup? does it spark harder and faster? should i upgrade my 96 2.5 with better plugs, wires, or coil conversion?

 

if you have plugs, keep them. coil packs are not very good when you get high in the revs, they start skipping, thus making engines very rich. if you have coilpacks, see if you can find some places to get better ones.

Why then do the
91-04 NSX, 96-04 RL, 3.2 96-03 TL, 01-04 MDX, 02-04 RSX, 04 TSX, and some Honda equiped V-6 engines have them???

I didnt think ALL V6 hondas have coil packs but I've noticed the newer models like the RSX have them. Just wondering if any advantages for converting to them. I would like to know what I could do to produce more spark to be more efficient burn. thanks

 

After talking with some of the more experienced technicians at work we concluded this...In no particular order.
1-No distributor assembly=no worn distributor, or related internal parts, no worn button, no worn drives, no worn rotor buttons,
2-No resistance differences for the plug wires since they are not there,
3-Consistant firing directly from the ecu,
4-Locating sensors that used to be in the distributor assembly to better locations on the engine, or in the engine,
5-Consistency

Hope that helps, as for a company that can replace a distributor for coil packs I do not know, but there was a white 92-95 Hatchback at NOPI last year that had a setup with 4-NSX coils firing in his built GS-R engine, running like 26lbs or something...It was pretty sick to see it.

 

well thanks for the insight. I wonder if nogoly would have any to convert. I want to pioneer the G25 to see what I can make of it. I know a lot of 2.5TLs and Viogrs that would benifit from it. thanks
anything eslse?

 

I wish somebody would make a header for that 5-cylinder...There's mad torque there...

 

Yeh i know. I wish the acura luxo had more aftermarket for the 1st gen.
