Dual Igniter for FC Power FC Installation How To

Modified Trailing Coil Pack

Tools Required:

• Wire Strippers
• Wire Cutter
• Soldering Iron & Solder
• Hacksaw
• 7mm Socket/Ratchet

Parts Required:

• 2 x FC Trailing Coil Packs
• Heat-Shrink Tubing
• Electric Tape

Procedure

DO NOT discard any parts until procedure is completed. The FD APEXi Power FC lacks the switching wire that allows the trailing coils to switch from T1 to T2. Installation of an additional FC Trailing Igniter will allow the ignition system to operate correctly. This procedure details the process of installing an additional igniter. Ensure that you use heat shrink tubing and electrical tape on all soldering connections.

Pic #1 FC Coils

1)       Remove Trailing Coil Pack from vehicle. You will need to have previously sourced a second trailing coil pack (Pic #1).

2)       Remove coils and brackets from one of the coil packs (Pic #2).

3)       Using a hacksaw or bandsaw, remove the "legs" from the igniter assembly (Pic #3).

Pic #4 Covers Removed	Pic #5 Remove Wires

4)       Remove the igniter covers from both assemblies (Pic #4).

5)       Snip the following wires from both assemblies (Pic #5).

• YELLOW (TAC)
• GREY (CPU 1)
• WHITE (C1)
• LIGHT BLUE (C2)

Leaving these four remaining wires:

• BLACK (C1)
• PINK (ST)
• 2 x TAN (+ B)

6)       Igniter #2 Preparation (Pic #6 & #7).

• Cut PINK wire at 4-Pin connector (as close to connector as possible)
• Cut 2 TAN wires at 2-Pin connector (as close to connector as possible).
• Cut Ring Terminal off TAN wire & BLACK wire
• NOTE: Save 2nd TAN wire with Ring Terminal for later use.
• Strip ALL remaining wires for soldering purposes

7)       Coil Pack Preparation (Pics #8 & 9);

• Solder YELLOW and GREY wires together on 4-Pin connector
• Remove TAN power wire going to positive (+) terminal on the T2 Coil using 7mm socket.
  • Cut off Ring Terminal.
  • Pull through loom.
  • Keep connected to 2-Pin connector.
  • Solder to short TAN wire on Igniter #2
• Solder WHITE wire from 4-Pin connector on coil pack to PINK wire on Igniter #2 (NOTE: may need to be extended with 3" of additional wire).
• Solder BLUE wire from negative (-) terminal on the T2 Coil to BLACK wire on Igniter #2.
• Connect TAN wire with Ring Terminal (previously saved from igniter #2 preparation) to positive (+) terminal of T2 Coil with 7mm nut
  • Feed through wire loom.
• Solder to long TAN wire on Igniter #2.

8)       Stand Coil pack on end and using long screws (previously saved) mount Igniter #2 to back of Igniter #1

9)       Tape and cover wires with loom

This concludes the soldering and wiring portion of the procedure.
