Maybe i should try it so i can see the light...............
COP uses 4 wires denso coils of the toyota yaris, honda uses 3 wires denso coils, both coils are and make the same, if COP had this proved and found all these benefits, what is the problem??, I can see that the setup is one of the best upgrades that we can do to our Evos. Is proved that the spark is greatly improved.

Simply this setup works and works great!!!!

With this I will convince you.

You know the old systems of ignition? one coil for the four spark plugs and the distributor distributes the sparks, the old ignition systems make the double of discharges compared to this coil on plug setup, Understand???.

Wires go to:
  1. ground
  2. trigger
  3. 12V
  4. tach
Thanks for the Miata Link, I will be doing this to my Miata now and see how it does. If I do see a difference, then I will do it on my evo

I made it mine today! I hope to get good results!!

How do you know if used coils are good? There anything to look for, other than there being something obviously bad like physically broken or burned or something...

Saw on another forum (lancerregister.com) this post: http://www.lancerregister.com/showpo...4&postcount=39

Guy said he used yaris coils and a harness from a "MAZDA PREMACY OR MAZDA RX8 its from the the harness at the radiator" to connect the coils to the evo oem connectors. Anyone have any idea what harness he is referring to? I am in the process of making an account on that forum to ask but its taking forever lol.

Also if you make your own harness what part from spoolin-up is used? EVO 4-9 Coil Connector - Crimp Male connector right?

yeap you need two connectors:

""EVO 4-9 Coil Connector - Crimp

Easy to use crimp-on connector for 18ga (16 ga Tefzel) wire and larger. Comes with 1 Connector, 3 Seals and 3 Terminals. Typically two are needed. Priced per unit.""
