Also with the 1g waterpump pipe installed there is no need for this old water line to the turbo correct?
I just block the water hole off in the block?

Thanx
Eric

Do cut all the ears off the coil mounting bracket? Or do i need to relocate my coil pack? What are all you guys doing that have done the 1g intake swap about this?

I have been searching around but cannot find any pictures.
Thanx alot

Maybe get a 1g coil pack? would that work? I can't imagine the two being any different other than the mounting situation.

I would like to help you out their, but mouting your coil pack; I'm just not furmilure with how its done. It's in a diffrent location then the 2g, so I can see why your having such a problem.

Just tighten the Banjo bolt into the block. Or use bolt to block it off, that is unless you want to buy a Water Temp gauge..

you can either use a 1g c/p or just use the mounting bracket from a 1g c/p.

when you say 1g water pipe - is it a n/t pipe ? or 90 turbo pipe ?

The pipe is mounted right in the above picture. From a 92 turbo

Alos all the damn people on here that have done a 1g intake swap on there 2g this is all i get for answers lol nothing against you guys that replied im just playing lol its all good Thanx so far for the help

I have some pics, but they are all on my camera at my parents house(220 miles away). I have been working for the past 4 days on getting my 6-bolt into my car. I just modified the 2G coil pack bracket to sit in about the same location as the stock set up. I actually cut one end of the bracket off, then bent one tab and it fit like a glove. It will be a while before I could get any pics up though sorry. When I was done, it was perfect. Just get creative with a grinder and cut-off wheel/hack-saw and you should be able to make something work.

go get some msd coil packs, they are better than the stock packs, then mount them on the fire wall. the stock packs are weak anyways

I know your pain, my car is 220 miles away at my parents house. I was lucky(I guess:dunno:) and lost a rod when I was there over spring break. Its the only place I have to work on it. It would have sucked balls to have lost it where I go to college.

Looking at your pics, I cut off the end where both tabs point down. Then the other side has both pointing away from the bracket. i bent the tab closest to the intake down and used the tab closest to the head for my mounting point. I was in a hurry so my bracket is only bolted on with one bolt. but its solid and it rocks back against the manni for extra support. It works well, and I think once you look at everything, what I just said will make sense.:thumbsup:

Sorry it took me so long but here are some pics of how I did my coil set up, just let me know if you have questions.

Here is what I did to the bracket

Hope these help you a little. ;)

You guys spend way too much time on this. I let my coil pack hang by the wires. I ran like that with stock plug wires deep into the 11s for years. In the end though I mounted it to the firewall to avoid scratching the BJs SMIM, but even that took 10 minutes. I move the break fluid res over and used one of the threaded holes. There are pics on my site.

Block that hole coolant feed off with a replacement bolt and a crush washer, naturally.

You mean the hole in the block? hopefully because i allready plugged it.

Yeah, block that POS off. The 1gT pipe provides the coolant feed.
