coilpack conversion
Is it possible to convert a V1 with four single coilpacks, to a single central coilpack system?? The single packs are so prone to cracking, I'd like to do away with them.
Cheers all

Yep, it's possible, just did it last month when I had yet another coil on plug pack fail.
Here's how I did it. Get four old coil packs and cut their harnesses. This is so you don't have to cut the wire harness of the car itself. Connect all the red wires on the coil wires into the red one of the single coil pack (it's the centre one I think).
Connect the yellow wires from cylinder 1 and 2 (those are the 2 cylinders nearest the radiator) together and onto one of the (I think yellow) wires on the single coil. Do the same for cylinder 3 and 4 to the last free wire on the single coil.
Plug in your high tension coil wires, start the car and forget about random misfires!

Uhm, i'd suppose that coil on plug can get best spark on high rpm, due to increased dwell time...
Maybe converting to late newage coilpacks? AFAIK they don't go bad as easy as the oldest....

it wont start because you have the wrong trigger wheel on your crankshaft, you need to fit the trigger wheel from your old engine.

the conversion to newage coils is very easy and a worthwhile upgrade, recently did it to my 1995 with a 2.5 conversion, if you need any help PM me.

got it going today amazing many thanks to everyone who suggested things to do i changed the two cam pulleys for the ones of my 99 engine plumbed it back up started first time still cant take the grin of my face now its a great feeling after feeling so deflated last night when it didnt start.
i have spent two weeks with just a few hours a day doing this conversion with help from a couple of fellow subaru owners and we have created a 99/01 hybrid engine nice this mechanic stuff not rocket science after all
MANY THANKS AGAIN you all been great
very pleased scoob newb
been on such a journey with this car already in 2 weeks i think i am in love i spillt blood on both engines almost cried on one now i have the pleasure of driving it
if i had any money left for insurance
still got work to do though i got the 01 wrx to dismantle sell the parts and way the metal in a good way to get yourself a nice 99 uk turbo BUY ONE WITH a blown engine buy a SMASHED UP NEWAGE WRX it works COILPACK ON TOP OF INLET

I'm still confused at this post is everyone talking about putting the black square coil pack on the inlet manifold and running the ht leads down to the spark plugs then wiring the original coil harnesses that you cut up to join the new ignition coil pack or is the link for running new individual coil packs of a newer shape this is were I'm confused please someone enlighten me I'm not dumb just can't get my head around this

Connect the yellow wires from cylinder 1 and 2 (those are the 2 cylinders nearest the radiator) together and onto one of the (I think yellow) wires on the single coil. Do the same for cylinder 3 and 4 to the last free wire on the single coil.
Plug in your high tension coil wires, start the car and forget about random misfires!

Does this really work as it's an expensive mistake to cut all coils for just the plugs
