This can easily be remedied by inverted mounting the ignition coils so gravity helps the sparks fall out the bottom.

glad my thread was your 1000th post hahaha.
i'll talk to my engineer tomorrow and see if he can do it which i think he can. should be all straight forward when i put this on manifold on ay? just turn the coil pack around, fiddle around with the throttle cable and lengthen some coolant hose's. petty sure thats all i have to do when i do it.


o yeh and add the spaces to make it sit higher and clear the alternator and a/c. also why do i have to scrap the ISC valve. might come up and see you Doug on the weekend and talk to you about it in person think it would be better. then trying to explain in on here.

Don't come and see me this weekend, we're going to Targa South West to help a mate.

You can't go over the alternator as it's already very close to the bonnet. The alternator gets flipped over on it's mount to sit where the AC compressor is now. You delete the AC altogether. You will have to make a custom alternator adjuster bracket and a idler pulley to keep the belt away from the throttle body and intake pipe.
It is a lot of fabrication work, and it will cost a small fortune unless you can DIY or get mates to do it cheap.

I was half right
