Any of you guys that are running them, where are you mounting them? I'm thinking of putting them where my FC's trailing coils are, mounted in a quad configuration, with the spark plug wire sockets pointing out into the engine bay (per the factory configuration).

To do this I was going to use the cylindrical ferrites, and ground them through the chassis. Is anyone else running this type of configuration?

run them under the intake like the oem FD

Enzo, how do you mount yours? With the stock flat ferrite core, using the rubber cover, or do you use the round core, and bolt them down?

Make a plate for them and use long bolts going thru the cover. Then just bolt the plate to the motor using the holes already on the housings.

Sounds good, thanks for the info.

One solution for my JUST installed Autronic 500R...

Looks good. I'm doing something similar, except off the engine. I'll post pics when it's finished.

did you finish this? do post pics

anyone else have ideas (preferrably with pics) for mounting solutions?

I haven't mounted permanently yet, but this is what I built:


... and an upside-down shot:



You can see I used an inch wide piece of aluminum stock, tapped with 4 holes, to retain the coils.

Wow that's a great idea, I used washers and nuts and ended up breaking a piece of one of the ferrite cores from over-torquing. I also see you shared grounds that's a good idea too.

Probably the most striking thing of those pictures though is the connector you used for the 'sub-harness'. May I ask why you selected that kind, and what CDI you're using?

I will post pictures of what I ended up doing, though it's not quite as nice as your setup.

Edit: Also, mine are in the stock location, and I used the tapped holes on the block of the motor that were for the original coil bracket.

Thanks. Yah, those ferrites are pretty fragile.

Those are AMP Circular Plastic Connectors. I've been using them on cars for a couple of years with good results. They've got a lot of the positives of the Deutsch connectors, without the insane expense.

I'm using the Autronic 500R.

Cool. I'd like to see them. Not enough people are posting pictures of their setups.

Nice job YayeR. I'm sorry I didn't take pictures of the finished product before I left on this deployment. I do like the connector at the coils assembly, so I suspect that may be in the works for me as well. Thanks for the idea.

BTW. what was your source for the AMP connectors?
