How To: Solid Copper Coil Pack Spring Replacment

[HOCKEYNUBE]

THIS IS NOT A PERFORMANCE MOD!!!

This mod only helps if you are experiencing "boost blow out" despite what you are gapping your plugs to.

The spring stretch mod does not do anything in my eyes, so I've seen bits and pieces of people putting solid copper in their coil packs to help the spark strength carried from the coil pack to the plug. Well let me tell you it is working great for me, no more blow out and here is how you do it!

Step 1: go to Lowes or Home Depot and buy yourself a foot or two of 4 gauge solid copper wire (go to the wire cutting area in the electrical department) it was less than $3 dollars for two feet for me.

Step 2: cut off a small section of the wire (to square it up to a nice flat surface I found that a brake line cutting tool works really well)

Step 3: cut four pieces of copper to roughly 2.5" (doesn't have to be machine work tolerance but get it as close as you can)


Step 4: pull your coil packs out of your car.

Step 5: separate the boot from the coil pack.

Step 6: pull the spring out (id recommend holding onto them just in case)

Step 7: reinstall the boot

Step 8: reinstall the coil packs (now at this point you need to check something, verify that the coil pack itself is close enough to the valve cover(where the screw goes) so when you tighten down the coil pack you wont crack it and vise versa if you put you coil pack on and the coil pack bottoms out where the screw goes, your copper is most likely too short)

Step 9: start it up! (you may have a misfire, just track down the cylinder more than likely your copper is too short and just cut another piece!)

Step 10: enjoy your boost without blow out any more!!!!
