Hi I'm looking in to converting my V1 UK turbo from 4 coil packs to using a single one found on V3 & V4. Has any one cared this conversion out and are there any wiring diagrams out there?

Yes, works v well.
I could type out how to work it out but maybe easier if I take some pics of wires or find colours on my own car.

new-age coilpack conversion is just as simple tbh and the way to go i.m.o

Except the cost

4 newage coilpacks £60 from the breakers. No big cost and will run many horses.

Hi Simon that will be fantastic if you can do that as i want to try one last thing before i give up on the engine in the car and get cracking on the new one.

ive seen a few coil packs for sale (the ones that sit on the inlet manifold) statting from yrs 96 thru to 2000

are any of these suitable or does it need to be an exact yr,say 1999/2000 model ?


(to convert a 95 wrx)

that would good if could also where did you mount the new single coil pack?

there is also this thread which may help explain the wiring lay out

For the mounting; on my car we made two small brackets that are bolted to the throttle body and alternator using the existing bolts (they were thin enough so they fitted under the bolts, sort of like a washer). The brackets are not much more than L-shaped strips of metal with holes at each end. The single coilpack is therefore mounted in the centre of the manifold using 2 of the possible 4 mounting holes it has.

I was thinking of using the V3,V4 inlet manifold but i think you have to modify the wiring on the TP sensor?

sorry, I cut the tails off the coilpacks..

red on 98 to red of 96 (all four).. yellow to 2 yellows and blue to 2 yellows.. using the plugs and leads I have cut on 96 coilpacks anyway..

Strangly the ecu triggers are then coloured different to each other and the 12v is yellow from the ecu..
