Coil On Plug Conversion Loom – WRX GC8 (1997 - 1998) | Roo RacingBring your late 90s GC8 ignition system firmly into the modern era. The factory waste spark ignition system and external ignitor module on the 19971998 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. The Roo Racing Coil On Plug (COP) Conversion Loom allows you to delete the outdated factory coil pack and external ignitor,

Bring your late-90s GC8 ignition system firmly into the modern era. 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.

The Roo Racing Coil-On-Plug (COP) Conversion Loom allows you to delete the outdated factory coil pack and external ignitor, converting your machine to a modern individual coil-on-plug setup.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.

Unlike 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.

What This Kit Does:

  • Converts to Modern COP: Upgrades the factory waste-spark system to individual coils per cylinder.

  • Deletes the Weak Links: Eliminates the aging OEM coil pack and troublesome external ignitor module.

  • Stabilizes Your Spark: Delivers a stronger, more consistent spark across the rev range to eliminate high-boost misfires.

  • Simplifies the Engine Bay: Cleans up old wiring clutter and makes future ignition servicing a breeze.

Key Features:

  • Premium Quality Components: Built using high-spec, motorsport-grade wiring and specialized automotive connectors.

  • Engineered for Performance: Designed specifically to adapt modern COP coils with built-in igniters to the '97-'98 platform.

  • Locally Assembled: Built by crew who understand the platform and tested for maximum reliability.

Vehicle Fitment:

  • Subaru Impreza WRX GC8 (Chassis years: 1997 – 1998)

  • Engine codes: EJ20G / EJ20K equipped with factory offset coil pack and external ignitor module.

Kit Includes:

  • Roo Racing Coil-On-Plug Main Conversion Loom

  • Ignitor Module Bridging Cables

  • Detailed Step-by-Step Installation Instructions

🛠️ Installation Note: Read Before You Install

Please note that due to the factory wiring layout of the 1997–1998 model years, this kit is not a 100% plug-and-play install. To successfully bypass the factory ignitor module, the included bridging cables must be soldered or crimped directly into the engine’s factory ignition loom. 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.

🦘 Roo Racing Tip

While you're updating the loom, don't leave old components in the mix! For the absolute best results, install this kit alongside a fresh set of modern coil packs and brand-new spark plugs gapped to your engine's spec. A premium wiring harness can't fix tired, worn-out hardware.

This conversion isn’t about chasing abstract horsepower numbers on a dyno sheet. It’s about securing crisp spark, rock-solid ignition reliability, and modern drivability for your classic WRX.

🦘 Roo Racing Promise: We only design and stock what we’d trust in our own builds. Quality Subaru parts, engineered right, and backed by people who live and breathe the platform.

Easy to Hang

This shelf is easy to hang, comes with great anchors and looks perfect. The quality looks nice and is was an easy hanging process compared to other shelves. Worth it for the price.

One of the best deals available!
Color: White, Size: 2 Pack
Extremely sturdy, good looking and easy to install. I have a couple of dozen feet of assorted lengths in the kitchen, bedroom, living room and foyer. Holding all sorts of antique clocks, audio equipment and cooking stuff from my flours and assorted cornmeals to cases of powdered “lemonade”.

Mounting system doesn’t align on one of three shelves.
Color: Walnut, Size: 3 Pack
Nice shelves. Install was super easy except on one of the three shelves. The main mounting shelf holes were off so the shelf will not slip onto horizontal mounting poles unless I modify the shelf. So a 20 minute job becomes a two hour job. The mounting system does appear very sturdy just not aligned.

Great center piece for my gaming room

It’s quite large, but you can display a lot of your cool collectibles on it. It arrives in a nicely packaged box with instructions, although I found the instructions to be quite basic. Most people should be able to figure it out. Instead of following the instructions, I recommend forming the honeycomb structure on one side and then attaching it to your wall. Drill holes through the holes in the honeycomb, ensuring everything is level. Once the entire unit is assembled, one person can hang it on the wall. However, I suggest having a building partner. I attempted it alone and was straining my core while reaching on a ladder, which was probably not the wisest idea. The build quality appears to be very good, and I believe it will last for many years. The LED light colors are nice, though not as good as those on a razor, but they’re not bad for a third-party product. There are plenty of screws to install, with a couple of extra. Just for reference my computer screen in the g9 57 inch that’s how big this shelf unit is. Holds up to 120 lbs
