What do I need for an external coil?

[Torqstr]

I'm wanting to use one of these on my 90 Coupe.



What all will I need? I know I will need one of the modified distributor caps to accept the coil's input, but how do I go about the wiring and such? And is there anything else I need?

dont u have xternal coil already? well, just run your wires from old one to the new one, depending on where you put the new coil, u need to make it all reach, wires, plugs, etc......and get a bracket fro the new coil!!!

take the cap and rotor off of ur distributor, youll find the ignition coil inside of it, its the goldish block with the post sticking up. the two wires that originally went to that need to be extended out of the dizzy casing, and attached to the two terminals on the oil. then you modify the cap to accept the MSD wire. (though, i dont see why you couldnt just use a 9293 external coil cap...)

HELL NO ! some accords come with interal coil.

One of the best upgrades you can make with a Honda/Acura Engine is to Bypass the weak Factory Internal Coil. The Cap And Coil Kit allow you to take advantage of an external Coil and ensure all of the new High Voltage reaches the Plugs .

u have to put a power pole connector in the stock cap or buy a Vision Motorworks Honda And Acura Modified Distributor Cap for $35

is there a DIY on this b/c i was reading Honda Tunning from like 3 yrs ago and it show step by step how to do this?????

i'll make a DIY if u need cuz i'm gonna do it myself and i got the magazine still

[Caution]

hey hey, my coil is external, i know, cuss im in the process of head swapping and replacing some parts, anyways, i got 92 4dr lx accord, and its external....so, Im assuming the 90-91 are internal, and 92-93 are external, cuss for sure, mine is external, and if you want pix fo me to prove it, sure doo........

By the way, if your is internal coil, then by all mean, u just gotta do all the other stuff that they say, not what i mention!!!

you can just buy a new cap that already has the external ignition coil terminal, and then extend the + and - coil wires as stated above.

*not all accords had internal coils.

[QUOTE=Caution]hey hey, my coil is external, QUOTE]
is it or has it been modifyed ???
it should have only the 4 spark plug wires comming out ??
if it has 5 wires the u have external
looks like all stock accords come with internal coil
mines is a 92 lx and this 2002 lx in mag has the same thing

ok i found the honda tunning magazine it got a kitted boosted sliver prelude on front feb. 2005

it says don't expect any power gains . think of it as insurance . one mis fire at a high rpm can cost you your engine. also they have witness engines catch fire due to running a blaster or SCI-L ignition with internal coil.

so u need to install a power tower at the end .
drill a hole,put it in,make it stick w/ epoxy,let dry
i'll make a DIY soon.

Folks --- you'll be surprised to learn that not everything about CB7s stayed the same during its 4-year run. There were differences.

9091 = internal coil
9293 = external coil
