2.2 Coil Swap Continues? (TEAM Green)
Monday, July 16, 2007 1:09 AM
Well, it was brought to our attention that Wrench Monkey will no longer be doing the 2.2 Coil Swap (for the 2.4) but he said that someone else would be willing to follow in his footsteps on this mod and Im still very interested in getting this.

Whomever is going to be doing more on this, please... Let me know. Im sure there are plenty more JBOeons who'd like to get this mod as well. Or if anyone else is selling a 2.2 Coil Swap setup, please let me know!



BTW: Thanxz for all your work Team Green!



now DIE!

Hey,

I spent my day off a couple of weeks ago at the wreckers searching for the harnesses needed for the swap in an effort to get the cost down for everyone by donating them to the last GP attempt. I believe it was the very next day that this GP was canceled by Wrench Monkey. As listed in the original GP "interest" thread before it was locked, I emailed asking for a copy of the wiring diagram that was used but never received a reply. I no longer have a need for this conversion, however, if someone can come up with a wiring diagram, I've still got a number of harnesses and would not mind either helping out, or if required, taking the lead in making this happen. I will check back for replies to this thread and may be reached via email through my profile.

I am thinking about continuing with this coil swap setup.

Building coil conversion kits is easy, until we try to continually lower the cost of the mod.

I would think it may be easier offering two kits.

1. A Base kit with a ICM plug, coils, modules, mounting plate, wiring harness.
Offer for individual purchase @ a set price. If someone donates ICM connectors or sends in their old one, reduce kit price. This way the initiative rests with the car owner as it should.

2. Advanced kit. Includes base kit with the choice of upgrade options @ parts cost, maybe upgrades such as weather pak connectors or plug wires.

With all the little items needed (wire loom, tape, connectors, wire, etc) plus time to build it, the kit can only be so cheap.

Tom just helped me do this MOD and using a MSD 8.5mm plug wire kit, my final cost was $300, but worth every penny.

I like those options!

I believe the more option for people to see, the better!

Not such a pain in the ass to change the spark plugs?

Well really I know you'd gain more than that - I don't know firsthand but I remember reading in the past thread of other benefits, more or less a "cleaner" and more consistent spark I guess you could say - but I first read about this mod just after I'd changed the spark plugs and I remember thinking "why in the HELL did GM do that this way?"

I may offer a GP on the MSD components of the swap if the TG guys can't get the kit made still. That way you can use the diagrams to make your own.

For me to have continued making them the price would really have had to drop on the parts. I think its an excellent mod but many people cant justify dropping 250 for it

If you can get him the MSD for less than I was trying to please let me know where. I'd love a cheaper supplier.
