Just waiting on another "Bro Deal" on some springs or coilovers, LOL.
gonna have my Godspeeds up for sale soon... going with a set of YellowSpeeds for my car as they are working with me on a small project
Looks great BP5! The paint looks to be in top condition. You have looked after it well.
Scored charcoal set and plain set of filters to complete adding cabin air filters..............already scored the door and the bracket to modify the evap box to accept filters.

ebay filters and park Mazda had parts...... https://www.parkmazdaoemparts.com/ just type part numbers in search boxDid you find the parts locally?
charcoali got my brackets as well, what filter did you get. With the dimensions from another thread i sourced out a cabin filter from a silverado 99-03. Will try it out this weekend.

i did the conversion on my motor...
it actually DOES help smooth the motor out overall. youre increasing the diameter of the spark plug wire vs the tiny diameter wires of the factory top mount units.... which in turn helps provide a much wider path for the electricity to follow thru. also purchasing a GOOD set of plug wires increases damping of electricity escaping from the wire via insulation of the wire itself with the outside casing. also, aesthetically, they look SO much better. with 1.8l plug wires and coilpacks, you can relocate them off the motor so they dont get as hot too.
with the 1.8l units, its not about increasing horsepower with the ignition, its about creating a stronger and more insulated spark for the ignition... which in turn creates a smoother pull thru the powerband of the engine due to better spark and better insulation.
install is very straight forward. you will need a 2002 626 valve cover (i stripped, wire brushed and painted mine with high temp paint + clear coat), 1.8liter coilpacks, 1.8liter spark plug wires and a brand new valve cover gasket as seen below... took me a whopping 30 minutes to install everything.
Does the 1.8 coil conversion have any effect on performance? I don't mean hp, but do they use the same spark plugs? Run the same volts or current? Is it plug and play, or is rewiring necessary? I'm no electrician so sorry for noob questions.
As has been mentioned, it isn't about more power but it does get coils off top of motor, and does smooth out what pwr you do have. Using the long reach plugs helps this too. The 626 cover is optional. You can also use the MSP vc with cover and cut out for plug wires to run under it. The wiring harness for coils has to be opened up and coil leads separated out,wrapped/covered and run to new coil location. Was worth it IMO.Not done the conversion myself, but the general consensus is no they don't. No difference in performance what so ever.
