Owain1602 0 Posted June 3, 2006 Hi, this is for you guys that are running a mappable ecu. Where do you have your coil packs mounted?, this is on a 205.Where i was thinking was behind the driver side headlamp. Also, what ignition leads do you find fits best on coil pack and plugs? I have a Motorcraft Ford coilpack. cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huxley309 0 Posted June 4, 2006 dont know about ford but i run a 106xsi coilpack with 16v corsa leads, mounted next to the rh inlet cam as theres 2 threads there ideal for a mounting frame....this is on an mi16 mind dont know what engine yours is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mak 0 Posted June 4, 2006 There was a thread about this a while ago and iirc he thermostat housing form one of the other models (diesel?) has two mounting holes for a coil pack....a search should shed some light Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stew205 17 Posted June 4, 2006 I use a 106 pack too. Mines is mounted to the inner wing where the ign.amp/coil used to be. I have had some custom leads made but I do have some spare leads from a 405 (sorry can't remember model!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Owain1602 0 Posted June 4, 2006 its on a XU5 engine, dont think i have holes for mounting a plate really i think if i mount the coil pack behind the driver side headlamp but quite a bit up so its as close as possible to the spark plugs it should be ok. If i can get 3 or 4 long ford leads it should be ok. maybe i could mount the coil pack somehow where the dizzy is bolted on, as i dont need the dizzy. make a blanking plate to go over the gap after removing the dizzy and seal with some silicone and drill some holes in this to hold the coil? anyone tried this??

Hi mate, What you need is a late XU engine (306, xantia etc) thermostat housing, this covers over the cam shaft end where the dizzy normally goes, and has mounting for a '106' type coil pack. Then just get the later HT leads and jobs a goodun! Hope this helps. Trev Edited June 4, 2006 by Revla Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 245 3 Cars Posted June 4, 2006 Then just get the later HT leads and jobs a goodun! The Ht leads need to be from a car that runs a coil pack, not just any later 205 HT leads. A 1994 205 Automatic has the exact ones suitable for this as do various Citroen ZX's that ran coilpacks at an earlier date than the 205. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Owain1602 0 Posted June 4, 2006 i have my coil pack already, a motorcraft zetec one. Im gonna get zetec leads to go with it, the ones with the stupid clips on the sides and try and slip the 205 rubbers on the other ends. Im gonna plate over the dizzy hole and seal it with some rubber, the plate im gonna use will be larger than what i need so i can drill holes in it to mount the coil pack, facing away from the engine. What do you recon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
