Hey

Does anyone know if the coil packs off a 2004 Impreza will fit on my 1996 STi import?

Thanks

 

is it a pre facelift sti? if so then yes but only with a bit of fettling.

 

Yer its a pre facelift version 2. When you say a bit of fettling, how much do you mean?!? Are the electrical connectors the same?

i am in the process of doing mine just need to pull my finger and get them done, your best bet would be to get some old coil packs you can butcher for the leads.

 

Hi mate i have just converted my UK 94 with the new age coil packs and the cars cold start and idle is spot on and I'm am running Simtek ecu.
Very easy mod i used an engine loom from a 2005 sti witch i got from ebay for £20 and cut out the coil plugs with some of the loom and soldered them together with the old coil pack looms made the job much more simple and looks stoke too. As for the igniter i just cut the two plugs away and followed the intrusions and soldered the wires together. Thers only one problem that i encouted on this conversion is that the coil pack on the near side rear is a very tight squeeze between the rocker cover and the chassis?

 

that's the only problem i had with the coil packs not enough clearance on the osf chassis leg and was in a rush so couldn't fit them without jacking the engine up slightly.

 

I just used a long bit of 4 by 2 between the rocker cover and the chassis

 

Ahh this doesn't seem like the easy swap I was hoping for!!! The coil side of it seems simple enough but I couldn't get my head round the igniter bit! Could someone try to explain for me please!!

 

Hi mate looks harder than what it is. It took me longer to make the coil looms
and fit the coils than it did to by pass the igniter. Just follow the wiring diagram i just cut out the 2 plugs ans soldered the wiers togeather?
