Rep Power: 0 Ignition upgrade?
I'm looking for something to increase the spark on the civic.. naturally you upgrade the wires and add a jacobs ice pak.. but since this car has no wires.. what can I do?
I saw these things that replace the factory coils in the spark plug chamber, but now I cannot find them!!!
I found these for the mazda and nissan but not the civic!! They are called Direct fire something..
I would like something like this..
Any ideas where I can find this??
Thanks..

Rep Power: 0 Generally guys not to put your hopes down but improving on ignition plugs, coils etc will basically give you maybe 3hp at the most UNLESS you are running a highly modified engine that benefits from increased spark due to timing corrections. Not saying its a total waste of money but if you dont plan on heavily modding your car i personally wouldnt recommend it.

How much were they? Where did you order them from? I am mostly interested if they give better response and if they add to your mpg like they say.
