Couple quick question regarding coils and relocation

Ok I've been doing some research but would like to narrow down some things for my build. Perhaps a little more detailed info that will be useful to future searchers as well.

First Coil relocation:

I have seen the bracket that was made by a member here awhile back. Is this bracket still for sale and if not does anyone have some good pics or measurments for recreation that I could use to recreate it using basic tools at the house. (IE not a CNC machine)

Also the bracket seems to have been used almost exclusivley in USDM cars. Does anyone have a link showing a relocation done on a RHD car? The problem I am running into is that the relocation moves the coils to the right side of the engine bay over the ignitor. However, in my car the ABS unit is there as it is RHD. Would it be possible to relocate the ignitor fairly easy as well and place everything somewhere on the left or rear side of the firewall? I will be making my own wires using the tool from MSD etc.

Coils themselves: I know the common route is to use a HKS twin power. However based on other types of cars I've done there is usually multiple paths you can take. I have heard of a Jacobs ignition box as well as some people state that using LSx coil packs work better than the HKS unit.

Are there any other things that are wise to do while I have the harness and motor out in regards to the ignition system?

I will be using a single turbo swap and removing items from the harness while it is out for equipment I am deleting. Any suggestions based on expereince for me that I should be aware of in regards to wiring for the ignition itself?


Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Also if there are any great threads you feel I may have missed or will put me on the right path please let me know.

Seth

I believe David Garfinkle still makes the relocation brackets. He is on the "other" forum. Google his name and you will find him.
