1G-GTE fitting a coil pack or not

[auto351]

Just looking through some 1G wiring diagrams and found the 1G-GZE is fitted with a coil pack so if there is any benefit fitting a coil pack to the 1G-GTE & if so which is the coil pack of choice.

Assume you are considering this with a aftermarket computer. I have blanked off the top of my dissy and using it to drive a LT-8. I am using a EL Falcon coil pack (3 coils with waste spark). Everything works great and has for some time. I have only run a max of 15 psi boiost so cannot comment above that. (I also use a EL tb, tps and idle control valve)

Why the Ford coil pack - they are cheap, readily available and I was advise they would handle the job. Remember if you do use these packs to get the bit of wiring loom with the plug on it.

Having said that I am led to understand that the Toyota coils/coil pack are a great thing especially the 7MGTE ones. I did have a set of these at the time but did worry about sourcing replacements in the future.

so your now running the coil pack but did you ever run the dizzy setup with the LT=8 & did you see adifferance

yes saw the new ford auii auiii coild pack for AU$90.

but has the ford coil pack have the build in driver moduals?

No installed on the shift away from the factory computer and to single turbo. I would expect that a well maintained dissy system would have similar performance to coil packs, But at several hundred each for rotor and cap they are a bit expensive tokeep in perfect working order.

A cheap option.

No. Built into the computer

The recommendation to use the ford coilpack was from Jake Edwards.
