What do you mean? They have built in igniters. 3 wire. Ground, positive and trigger. 

I don't know anything about this stuff... What's a "smart coil"? Is that one that handles things like dwell and saturation current by itself?

2nd highest tested coil on the market

Sounds neat. Is there a test report on the web you can point us to?

Bracket is done! I need to test a plug. But I think they will clear. Pretty darn happy with it.

Looks good. Will be interesting to see if the harness plugs will go on and off easily

It will be tight, but you don’t need a lot of room for the connectors. My set up didn’t give a lot of room for the connectors either. In fact, you learn that there’s not a lot of room for this whole project and you wind up doing three versions before something works right. I must say I am really digging this because of the use of the smart coils and the clean look of these R35 coils compared to my D-585. 

 

I agree. My COP rail is the third version and the orientation of the plugs for the connectors was a consideration. In the end, I still feel there is quite a bit of room though.

Whee. That’s a great looking setup!

 

I would guess the plug clears. But I should know this am.

Thanks!  I built mine further away from the block for two reasons: I wanted to ensure the COPS were far away from the heat of the block, and secondly, I wanted to 'balance' the look of the engine bay so the intake wasn't out of place. The COP manifold also hides a lot of the unsightly hoses and wiring on the passenger side of the engine.
