Take lots of pictures during disassembly! It’ll help you remember how everything goes back together. Also, don’t forget to post your results — I’d love to see how it turns out.
I’m not good with pictures! Maybe I should just draw a cartoon sketch of my engine? 
But seriously, how long do you all think this setup will last once converted?

Haha, that would make for a hilarious manual! In terms of longevity, COP systems can last quite a while, especially if you do regular maintenance.
Don’t forget that the tuning aspect after the conversion is just as important for durability! It’s key to keep everything in sync. I’m really excited to try this out now; thank you all!
Converting to coil-on-plug can really improve performance. However, watch out for wiring issues. If you miswire it, you may end up with misfires or worse. Always double-check your connections!
Totally agree! I had a friend who actually reversed the polarity and fried a couple of coils before he figured it out. Double-checking the wiring is crucial.

I struggled with spark timing after my conversion. The engine management software can sometimes be finicky about reading new setups. Make sure your ECU is calibrated right!
Absolutely! I found out the hard way that even slight adjustments can lead to performance issues. Keep an eye on those timing settings!
Compatibility with your engine management system can be a pain. Some systems don’t recognize the new coil-on-plug setup without updates. It’s worth checking if your ECU needs a reflash.
Right! I wish I had checked that earlier. It would have saved me hours of troubleshooting. Learn from my mistake!
For anyone who’s in the middle of the conversion, don’t panic if things don’t work right away! Sometimes it’s just a loose connection or a minor software setting.

I had one coil not firing after installation, and it turned out to be a simple ground issue! Seriously, double-check ground connections — they can be tricky.
Oh man, that brings back memories! I spent a weekend chasing a ghost misfire only to find I had neglected the grounds. Good times!
I’m curious if anyone has run into compatibility issues with aftermarket performance coils? I’ve heard mixed reviews, and I’d love to hear experiences.
I tried them on my project and found significant variance. Stick with reputable brands to avoid headaches post-install.
Just remember: if it seems like a lot of work now, think of the improvements in reliability and performance! Conversion is a journey, but totally worth it.
