converting to individual coils?

[d1 mule]

im just wongering whats involved in changing from dizzy to coil over plug setup on a 4age with a link??

reason being car wasnt running, so i put a "new" dizzy in, and it ran sweet as for about 5 mins now wont run again.

or would i just be better off getting a new ignition module for the dizzy??

i want the car to be ready for drift south on the 20th dec and practise on the 16th so am getting pretty anxious

ive seen people use VR4 sender unit and coil packs. but you have to find them

Probably better to fix what you have,

depending on the link version it may need to be re-configured,
you will need to run a GZE or smallport dist assy,
and will need to change wiring a bit, and then also get the coils leads and igniters etc etc.

its a V5.

its just had a few ignition issues, done a coil and now 2 dizzys in about 5kms tops of driving (large ammount on the limiter tho, so im getting a bit frustrated

What do you mean by done a dist? they are not the sort of thing that wear out or you can damage easily? sounds like there are other problems to me.

yeah my thoughts too. It was running after i put the new coil in, then died when i was driving it, put a new dizzy in today and it ran sweet as for about 5 mins and died again while it was idleing and wont go at all now.

iv got a autosparky mate checking the 1st dizzy out tomorro see if tis buggered.

cheers

If you do end up changing it. Go for mitsi wasted spark coils.
Individual coil-on-plug setups often fail from the heat

original dizzy tested fine today..... getting solder joints on the PCB tested tomrro hopefully its omethin easy like that
