The factory waste-spark ignition system and external ignitor module on the 1997–1998 WRX (EJ20G\/EJ20K) were great in their day, but after nearly three decades of engine bay heat, they are prone to degradation, spark blow-out under boost, and annoying misfires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cb\u003eRoo Racing Coil-On-Plug (COP) Conversion Loom\u003c\/b\u003e allows you to delete the outdated factory coil pack and external ignitor, converting your machine to a modern individual coil-on-plug setup. By giving each cylinder its own dedicated coil, you get a significantly stronger, more stable, and highly consistent spark delivery which is essential for track-driven cars or anyone turning up the boost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike later models, the '97-'98 platform requires a proper mechanical solution to bypass the factory ignitor. This kit features a high-quality wiring harness and dedicated bridging cables designed to neatly integrate into your factory setup, giving you a clean, reliable, and motorsport-grade ignition system that is built to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat This Kit Does:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eConverts to Modern COP:\u003c\/b\u003e Upgrades the factory waste-spark system to individual coils per cylinder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDeletes the Weak Links:\u003c\/b\u003e Eliminates the aging OEM coil pack and troublesome external ignitor module.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStabilizes Your Spark:\u003c\/b\u003e Delivers a stronger, more consistent spark across the rev range to eliminate high-boost misfires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSimplifies the Engine Bay:\u003c\/b\u003e Cleans up old wiring clutter and makes future ignition servicing a breeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePremium Quality Components:\u003c\/b\u003e Built using high-spec, motorsport-grade wiring and specialized automotive connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEngineered for Performance:\u003c\/b\u003e Designed specifically to adapt modern COP coils with built-in igniters to the '97-'98 platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLocally Assembled:\u003c\/b\u003e Built by crew who understand the platform and tested for maximum reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVehicle Fitment:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSubaru Impreza WRX GC8 (Chassis years: 1997 – 1998)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngine codes: EJ20G \/ EJ20K equipped with factory offset coil pack and external ignitor module.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKit Includes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoo Racing Coil-On-Plug Main Conversion Loom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIgnitor Module Bridging Cables\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetailed Step-by-Step Installation Instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003e🛠️ Installation Note: Read Before You Install\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that due to the factory wiring layout of the 1997–1998 model years, \u003cb\u003ethis kit is not a 100% plug-and-play install\u003c\/b\u003e. To successfully bypass the factory ignitor module, the included bridging cables \u003cb\u003emust be soldered or crimped directly into the engine’s factory ignition loom\u003c\/b\u003e. If you aren't comfortable with automotive electrical work or proper crimping\/soldering techniques, we highly recommend having this kit fitted by a professional automotive electrician or a specialized workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003e🦘 Roo Racing Tip\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile you're updating the loom, don't leave old components in the mix!
