Hey quick question, and it may be too late since I just ordered the orange 9mm wires, but I noticed after I paid that it says coil type MSD. Does that mean they wont work with my factory coil?
Unfortunately, Those won't work with the stock coil. I'd email them to see if they could change your order. Shouldn't be a big deal to have them correct it for you.
Will the ZX2 coil plug right up, or will I need to wire up the pigtail to make it work? Either way is fine with me, but just curious as to what I would be getting into by switching it. If its too much work, I may just order up the Orange MSD coil pack to go with it, even though I dont need it (and only do this if they cant exchange them out for me).
May be another issue there, note the BOTTOM of the ZX2 coil, like a Contour coil, the bottom is not flat and will not fit on a Focus coil bracket, there are two bulges on the bottom, Focus coil is dead flat on the bottom. The bulges fit holes in bracket not on later models.
I just read Massive's website again. They offered the 9mm Orange plug wires for either MSD or stock coil boots. They are both the same price, so I dont think it will be a problem. I just wanted to say thanks to all of those who have pitched in with information and advice for this.
Longer bolts on incorrect bracket screams coil breakage, the corners will break off........get a Contour bracket and you can mount any coil on it.
FYI, I always slot the bottom bracket hole to open, that way all you have to do is slightly crack the bottom bolt loose and leave it in the head when removing bracket to say work on hoses or PCV. Sucks getting a rachet in there.
I talked to Massive, and they said they will gladly get the order corrected before they ship it out. Im glad I caught that in time, and didnt have to deal with the hassle of sending them back and waiting longer. I hope they will be in this week.
Obviously there'll be a compatible issue. I don't understand why you ordered the 9 one but first you are satisfy on 8.2 mm. Should something has change your mind at the last time.
Aftermarket plug wires / coils on the focus do nothing for performance or lasting longer , the Ford wares are just as good and cheaper , if you need the clip on ones just order then for the ZX2 or Contour
I think he just wanted orange ones. did not care about the size or was expecting performance gains. My guess is he has an orange color scheme that he is going for.
