I have a 00 motor going into the 97 and I'm a little confused about the mounting of the coilpacks. I have a Romeo motor in the 97 while a Windsor is going in. While I would rather just do a COP conversion, cutting wires is for thieves and 240SX owners so I've basically been forcibly elected to stay coilpack. Now my timing cover for the 97 is Romeo, which, if I am not mistaken, negates me from being able to use it in place of the Windsor cover. Am I right? I really don't want to have to source a Windsor coilpack cover, so is there a bracket that I could make instead? Can I even do this? I know theres a dead pulley sitting roughly where the passenger side coilpack goes on the 00 motor. Insight is appreciated.

a guy on svtp sells harnesses to do the conversion. its a plug and play deal. pretty cool that he is making them, im waiting to get mine.
140 bucks beats cutting wires..

swap in the 00 engine, keep your fuel rails etc, coil packs, use your timing cover to make life easy. I think the 00 would be a 1 bolt tensioner and you don't want that.
your cover will work from what i have read you will have one bolt that doesnt line up right that needs filled in with RTV/silicone.......
or buy the plug and play harness, he had a thread on the corral about 2v harness' not sure if they were ever completed and for sale now though. look in the 96-98 forum.

Just swap the cover and send me the Windsor cover please!!!!
This a conversion that can be done on a 2V? The harness that is listed on the other site is for a 4V?
Anyone have pics of this conversion done on a 2V and what parts would be necessary. I have an auto. trans and the better throttle response would be a very welcome improvement.

there is a write up on here for COP conversions for 2Vs, there are a couple pics of it competed. Looks like a PITA to do the wiring yourself.
im not sure if the harness on SVTP can be used on 2vs also, im sure someone could tell you if it would work for sure. you could even ask the guy himself.
here is the 2v write up: http://sn95forums.com/index.php/topic,36254.0.html
as far as improved throttle response, there arent any performance gains involved when switching to COPs

nope, But a cleaner looking engin bay.
The passenger side bracket from the 97 doesn't work with the new Windsor. All I've found online is "you need to fab up a bracket for the passenger side coilpack" which doesn't mean piss all as I don't know how to fabricate. COP is not an acceptable answer so does anyone know how to make this bracket work?

What timing cover are you using? I don't remember if the pass side coil bracket bolted to the front of the intake or the timing cover and its dark here so I can't go refresh my memory now.
It bolts to the timing cover. I think I can make it work with just a few washers. I will only have two mounting points, but that should be plenty for something that isn't going to jump around. I'm going to try welding them on, although I'm not sure how well this will work as I've spent about 10 to 20 minutes on a welder before.
I still don't understand. The bolt hole is there, you use a bolt/stud in that spot then coil bracket then a nut.
One bolt is fine that's all that holds mine, with the vortech the coil bolts to the blower with the modified stock coil bracket by one bolt, without a blower I don't see why you can't mount it.
And don't try to weld that steel bracket to the aluminum cover.

I was planning to weld washers to the steel bracket then bolt it through, giving it two bolts. As of now there is a gap between the bolt hole in the timing cover and the actual bracket. The bracket rests very close to a pulley that is in different location on the older timing cover, but will still work.
