Are you looking to boost your vehicle’s ignition performance without the hassle of complex wiring or ECU swaps? Introducing the revolutionary Plug In Obd2 Coil-On-Plug (COP) system, designed for seamless integration with your factory OBD2 ECU. This innovative kit eliminates the need for soldering, cutting, or splicing, offering a true plug-and-play solution for upgrading your ignition system.
This system stands out because it works directly with your Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) ECU; there’s no need to replace it or undertake complex reprogramming. Crucially, this upgrade is emissions-friendly. It will not disable or interfere with any emissions control devices, ensuring your vehicle remains compliant and can pass smog tests in regulated areas. You won’t have to worry about triggering a check engine light due to this ignition upgrade.
What is Plug-In OBD2 Coil-On-Plug and Why is it an Upgrade?
Traditional distributor-based ignition systems can be a bottleneck in performance and reliability, especially in older vehicles. Coil-On-Plug (COP) systems are a modern upgrade where each spark plug has its own dedicated ignition coil. This provides a stronger, more consistent spark, leading to:
- Improved Engine Performance: A more powerful spark ensures more complete combustion, which can translate to increased horsepower and torque.
- Enhanced Fuel Efficiency: More efficient combustion can also lead to better fuel economy.
- Increased Reliability: Eliminating the distributor cap and rotor, common failure points in traditional systems, increases ignition system reliability.
- Smoother Engine Operation: Consistent spark delivery contributes to smoother idling and overall engine operation.
This plug in OBD2 COP kit takes the benefits of COP and makes it incredibly accessible for OBD2 vehicles. No more complicated wiring or ECU modifications – just plug it in and experience the difference.
How Does the Plug-In OBD2 COP System Work?
The installation process is designed for simplicity. Whether you have an automatic or manual transmission, this kit is compatible with your application. Here’s how easy it is to get up and running:
- Mount the Control Module: You can use the optional battery location mount for a clean installation on top of your battery, or mount the module directly to your firewall or shock tower.
- Disconnect the Distributor: Unplug your existing distributor connectors.
- Plug in the Harness: Connect our specially designed harness between your vehicle’s engine-side and distributor-side plugs. This is the plug in OBD2 part – a direct connection with no cutting or splicing.
- Ground Wire and Coil Packs: Fasten the ground wire and connect the harness to your new coil packs (sold separately).
That’s it! The system is designed to be truly plug-and-play, getting you back on the road quickly with an upgraded ignition system. Your purchase includes the external Coil-On-Plug control module and the OBD-specific patch harness, tailored for seamless integration into your vehicle’s existing wiring through an easy, two-plug connection.
We offer specific patch harnesses for OBD1, OBD2A, and OBD2B configurations. Please ensure you verify your vehicle’s OBD type before ordering to guarantee compatibility.
OBD2, OBD2A, and OBD2B Compatibility
Our plug in OBD2 COP system is engineered to work with a range of Honda/Acura vehicles utilizing OBD1, OBD2A, and OBD2B factory ECUs, in both automatic and manual configurations. This versatility ensures broad application across popular models. The system intelligently integrates with your existing engine management, providing enhanced ignition without disrupting your car’s computer systems.
What’s Included in Your Plug-In OBD2 COP Kit?
- External Coil-On-Plug Control Module: The brain of the system, managing the firing of your new coil packs.
- OBD Specific Patch Harness: The key to the plug in OBD2 functionality, this harness is designed for your specific OBD type, ensuring a direct and easy connection to your vehicle’s wiring.
Please note that this kit does NOT include coil packs or a coil mounting bracket. These components are essential for completing your COP conversion and must be purchased separately. You can find a selection of compatible coils and mounting brackets by CLICKING HERE.
Vehicle Compatibility: B, D, and H Series Engines
This plug in OBD2 Coil-On-Plug system is compatible with a wide range of popular Honda and Acura engines, including B, D, and H series engines. It has been rigorously tested on various chassis combinations such as Civic, Integra, Prelude, and Accord, with tens of thousands of miles of real-world testing on each platform. We have seen zero issues in our extensive testing, giving you confidence in the reliability and durability of this upgrade.
Important Considerations for Optimal Performance
While the installation is plug-and-play, here are a few important points to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your new plug in OBD2 COP system:
- Functioning Distributor and ECU: Converting to coil-on-plug ignition requires your distributor and ECU wiring to be in good working order. Our kit works in conjunction with these existing components.
- Synchronization Procedure: Our kit requires a synchronization process at startup. The engine will turn over for one to two revolutions to confirm engine position before firing the spark plugs. This is normal and ensures optimal performance and reliability.
- Bypassing Distributor Components: This kit bypasses the internal coil and ICM ignitor within your distributor. This allows you to remove the distributor cap and rotor and install a low-profile billet cap (if desired). Bypassing these components can extend the life of an aging distributor or allow for the use of aftermarket distributors, as these commonly failed parts are no longer in the ignition circuit.
- Ignition Timing: We recommend checking your ignition timing with a timing light after installation, especially if you are using an aftermarket distributor. Bypassing the original coil or ICM ignitor can sometimes slightly alter ignition timing.
- Resistor Spark Plugs: It is mandatory to use resistor spark plugs with this kit, as with any coil-on-plug ignition system. This is crucial for reducing electrical noise and ensuring proper system operation.
- Coil Connectors: Our harness uses early model K series style coil connectors, compatible with 2001-2006 K20/K24 and D17 coil packs.
Conclusion: Upgrade to Plug-In OBD2 Coil-On-Plug for a Modern Ignition Advantage
The plug in OBD2 Coil-On-Plug conversion kit offers a significant upgrade to your vehicle’s ignition system, providing improved performance, reliability, and fuel efficiency without the complexities of traditional COP conversions. Its plug-and-play design, OBD2 compatibility, and emissions-friendly operation make it an ideal choice for enthusiasts and daily drivers alike.
Remember, coil packs and mounting brackets are not included in this kit and must be purchased separately. Visit our ignition section HERE to find the necessary components to complete your upgrade and unleash the full potential of your engine!
