Hi, i am trying to find more info about a coil on plug system for my 2jzgte vvti engine.

I saw several supra who did this upgrade
https://www.platinumracingproducts.com/product/complete-kit-1j-and-2j-vvti/

And the same system but with Audi R8 cop

Other that there are the Ignition Project kit
https://www.ignitionprojectsusa.com...tsusa.com/products/ip-hexa-pac-for-toyota-2jz-gte-1jz-gte-engine-sku-ip-h137607

I know that these system must be wired into oem wires and does not support the oem igniter ( and in the case of wiring on oem ecu, the tachometer does not works anymore )

So i would like to know what do you think about this upgrade? what are the possible pros and cons? which guarantees the best choise between reliability, efficiency and power?

The LQ9 setups are the most popular coils in the US because they are cheap and easily available at any parts store. Those R8 coils are for looks only, the VW guys have proven that. The R35 coils are more expensive. Don't reinvent the wheel when a better alternative is already available bruh. :)

I got all this with 5mins of search. Which you said u did BTW.

my request was born because here I have 2 of my friends one with a gtr33 v-spec and one with a supra NA with 2jzgte vvti swap, have had problems ignition, overheating and break more coils in about 1 year and a half ( the gtr has 430cv, the supra little less than 600 on single turbo). then I came across this article and I asked here in the forum.

I do not want to reinvate the wheel, but I think like everyone here, we always have the desire, when possible, to improve what we have, or in any case look for better solutions.
Thanks
