mr_greenslade Member 5 Member For: 16y 10m 30d Posted 19/09/16 02:02 PM Share Posted 19/09/16 02:02 PM Hi guys, Is it at all possible to run LS1 coils (Obviously with custom plug leads and mounts etc) on an xr6 turbo using a factory pcm?

One less thing to haggle the price on also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are dumb coils (ie no internal ignitors) it will be fine. Also, pics of setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_greenslade Member 5 Member For: 16y 10m 30d Posted 19/09/16 10:03 PM Author Share Posted 19/09/16 10:03 PM They are not dumb coils that's why I'm asking if they will work. I still have standard coils but I've removed the wiring so I'd have to make a new harness patch with connectors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the pic btw. Ive been comtemplating something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done full ignition upgrade to old bikes and what not but wouldn't think a barra needs this? looks like crap without the black cover over the engine, if I saw that I'd be thinking 'this guys molested this car'. Don't take that the wrong way, I just feel its worth the effort to make a harness for the stock coils to go back in. just noticed your big ass turbo hahahaha! nice man possible inspiration for this guys idea...
