the relay is just to give constant power to the coils. all the coils will get power from the same relay. each coil ground wire will trigger 2 coils wired parellel to it. since all the trigger wire does is cut off degrounds the coils and changes current path. liek warmonger said the only advantage would be eliminating the plug wires. would that be worth all the effort and money spent. i heard the stock coil in our cars are pretty good. im down for just gettgn a set of realy good plug wires.

Can I just take the wires from the PCM and just wrap them around the ends of the spark plugs? Direct fire baby....

This idea for me stemmed from the desire to run the St220 intake manifold.

why does the st220 manifold require running coil on plug. im not sure how the manifold looks. you could just move the coil to another location. did you ever see the pics of the v6 focus. the coil was moved i forgot to where though. might have been under the throttle body somewhere.

Yes, that can be done. But you need custom length wires...really not a big deal, but if cut and splice COP was possible...well

1) Go check out the cost of the coli-on-plugs...yeah NOT cheap
2) They have the habit of not lasting long <40,000mi
3) Good chance you'll fry the ECU due to incorrect impedence from running the coils
I know someone who is running the ST220 manifold and all they did was put the stock coil under the plastic windsheild cowl.

so what are the bennefots of the st220 manifold? it looks a bit similar to the 3.0 uim that i have sitting in the closet waiting to be installed except for the real big plenum.
