Has anyone ever put the WRX coil on plug system on their car? I'm interested on improving my car's ignition system and would like to use the WRX as an upgrade.
Can this even be done? Easy swap or more work than it's worth?

But if its a 4 wire and our cars are 3 wire then no it wont work

I vaguely remember that you could convert the newer coil on plug units to bypass the built in igniter and instead rely on the original unit.

well the motor is not in the car yet so we dont know.
it just makes it a non wasted spark system.

I recently converted my JDM EJ20G to run '03 USDM Ignition Coils, as per this post:
http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthr ... ?t=1192028
The only reason I did this is that the stock JDM ignition coils that come with these motors are usually no good. I got a brand-new set of those '03 Coils, converted them to run in my motor and now the ignition system runs like a charm.
I'm not sure how you'd go about converting to the USDM Ignition Coils on an EJ22T... Or if it would be worth it without any other mods for that matter...
