Default HT lead question - probably easy.

I'm planning to buy some Magnecor HT leads for my STi 4 Type R. The problem is, my Type R has an engine from an RA in it (it's a closed deck block) so I'm not sure that HT leads for an STi 4 are what I need.


On the website I'm looking at (www.sparkplugs.co.uk) there are 2 types of HT leads, one set with this description:

"This set fits engines with the coil mounted to the right of the inlet manifold, coil fittings are SAE/post type"

and the other set has this description:

"This set fits engines with the coil mounted in the centre of the inlet manifold, coil fittings are conventional/DIN"

I've taken a look at my car and the coil is sitting exactly between the alternator and the pipe from the IC to the inlet manifold. Does that mean I need the second type?

Thanks

Your version 4 sti will require the second set of leads with the coil in the centre of the inlet manifold

Thanks mate. That's what I thought,but I needed to check. BTW, have you still got your STi 3 and do you have a license to drive it yet?

I was just looking at Magnecor's last week. They only have two types of coil end connectors, but on the plug end they list 3 or 4 different kinds I think. Check that you get the right end ones. Mine (a version 4 WRX) has the so-called 'teardrop' plug ends.
