Kevsta Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Am fitting a pace DS kit. Can anyone help me with the best place to relocate my coilpacks. My car is a vvc (EU2) and so i need to move the wasted spark coil packs as the pump mounts where they are. I was thinking of putting it on the bulk head area...anyone else done this with experience of the best/worst places? Cheers Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Day Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 What about the front of the drivers foot-well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevsta Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 I looked at that but the coil pack is too wide and if I turned it on its side then the gas cannister thingy gets in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozz Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Do you need the 'gas' cannister? Bozz It's not MANGO it's TANGO and it's grounded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevsta Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 True....I thought it was a requirement though....its the charcoal cannister...just remembered its name! Anyone know about this? Isn't it for burning off unburnt fuel vapours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevsta Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 Great! Thanks...I'll be removing that then...much better solution, thank you. Isn't there more than just the vent from the tank though? If so do I just block them? Can't remember all that goes to it now...suppose I will just have to look at it and see.

Mick Day Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Kev I removed the canister some while ago; just pull off the electrical connector, hoses & throw it in the bin. Before you ask it’s not worth trying to sell it; you’ll have to pay someone to take it away! One hose goes all the way back to the fuel tank via a one way valve under the boot. The other hose goes up to the fuel rail & plugs into the fuel pressure regulator. Remove this hose as well. You’ve now saved some weight! Now the hose that goes back to the tank can be pulled through the tunnel & you can then do the mod as mentioned by Myles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Kevsta My wasted spark coil pack is mounted on a bracket above the bell housing between the frame bars seems fine there. The brackets fitted using cable cleats around the bars so it easily removable. 'Can you hear me running' ......... OH YES and its music to my ears 😬 😬 😬 1988 200 bhp, 146 ft lbs, 1700cc Cosworth BD? engineered by Roger King, on Weber's with Brooklands and Clamshell wings, Freestyle Motorsport suspension.
