Rice Racing M&W CDI COP Set-up

[RICE RACING]

It's hard for people to see as they don't have the CAD detail but these coils have a flat shoulder near the mounting tabs, if you pay close attention you will see all 4 ends on the coil spacers are different lengths to makes sure the butt up against these flat shoulders, so when a bolt is installed the coil cannot drop down or up or rotate at all, its not physically possible, thus the second mounting tab is redundant.

The GOLD coil spacers are so strong that to deflect them would need over 100kg of force and then the movement is minimal.

You could add (LOL I COULD!) in another middle mount in the coil spacers but would be not needed and just make it heavier and more complex, then it would need specialist cutting of both coils and you could not run two M7 bolts next to each other like that as there is no wall to thread both, let alone the head for the fastener and it would look stupid and serve no real purpose except for being along for the ride, thus I designed it as it is.

And its solid, cant move anywhere.

p.s. Th gold legs lost the feature on the bottom of the locking I describe, you see it in the silver versions!

Should fit the stock set up now with ease.

ETA dunno, hopefully soon once I see how many people want them?

Awesome! Well, count me in for a set of mounts/COP adapters

(Though, if there will be color anodizing/coating options I'd rather have a gloss or flat black as opposed to gold hehe)

[RICE RACING]

This is what it will look like, not rounded like the GOLD one, I was just fucking around with it. too hard to make like that too much machining

In these pics you can see the shoulder thing I was describing on each coil making them impossible to move once bolted by a single tab.

OFF to be another fucking 2am day!

^ Just a thought, what is the approximate distance from the housing is the back of the coil including the plug socket? For us LHD people is there a possibility of interference with the steering shaft?

This is very cool. Would this fit 12A spacing by just twisting the COP adapters a bit or does
the bracket need to be modified to do that? I suspect the twisting the adaptors won't line
up with the plugs well.

Whats the ballpark $$ on this? We talking 100s or 1000s of dollars? Plus shipping of course.

This will involve trimming off one tab on each coil.
Mounting is perfect, same merits as V2, full supported (detail in coil spacer mounts) and interlocked in engine bracket mount.

I officially call this the H for homo version cause its a big letter H
Made especially for my friend Brian
If this does not clear everything rip the c-u-n-t out and put in a chev

Thanks Peter!

Thanks,

If I were Adobe I should charge around $20,000 for this

But seriously I hope it to be in 100's range rather than 1000's cause otherwise I myself will run high tension leads or rip it all out and put in a boat anchor engine haha.

On the 12A front:
* COP Adaptors are universal (fit anything)
* Engine bracket needs redesign per engine
* Coil spacer brackets need adjustment to suit spark plug spacing in X & Y dimensions


Would have to design an engine bracket mount that uses the bottom large hole in the center plate

Best to put a 13B-REW in it

I have this dimension listed earlier on in the thread (spark plug tip to back of coil inc plug and harness connection estimate, V3 sits lower too v's V2 horizontal version), people need to check that one out, there is not much else I can do in the design sadly, it tweaked to within a mm of its life now.

[RICE RACING]

Have designed some little 'limit locks' that go under the cover plates, these lock the stroke of the spring, and can be placed by the customer to lock the COP adaptor to the coils or to the plugs (axial movement with range of groove/slot) when taking shit on and off...... idea is to lock it to the coil though.

Sooooooooooooo who has a LHD FD with an engine in it?

[RICE RACING]

I tidied up the design of V3, this is the latest spec with rounded brackets, and showing the boss detail to lock in the coils with single bolt, fixed holes M7x1 threaded for coil mounting and M5 hole to Engine bracket mount.
I think it looks good ?

[RICE RACING]

Couple of high quality images for you to beat off too....

[RICE RACING]

Little video..............

[RICE RACING]

Another small revision to the coil spacers, cosmetic mostly larger radi in the coil section (fill it out) and transition to the center bracket.

This maybe the 'expensive version' versus the one that can essentially be fabricated! (flatter versions), it just depends on if people want a work of art or are cost focused

I do.

I'll talk to ya later
