Project EJ18T: MSD coil pack conversion

[GarrettGiuffre]

any chance you can make a video on how you made the wires work on the coil?

@GarrettGiuffre Hey what's up!! I would but I don't have the car anymore. If you click on my build link from RS25.com below my video, you'll find a hyperlink on the first page that'll take you straight to the coil pack mod.

These coil packs have a higher output voltage, which allows you to run slightly more spark plug gap over the OEM coil pack.

I tried installing an MSD 8239 on a 99 Outback. I could not get it to work due to it being transistorized or something. I have the harness for it both brand new, $60.00 shipped.

@tedqb360 Your coil pack has a built-in igniter. These coil packs only work with external igniters.

Smooth idle and acceleration. It got rid of my idle dips, jerking at part throttle, and misfiring at WOT.
