Which cars does the Type-1 Direct Ignition Coil Pack Set for ZC6 fit?

Cusco USA lists part number 965 748 A for the 2013 and 2014 BRZ, FR-S, Impreza and Crosstrek and the 2014 to 2016 Forester. The Type-1 Direct Ignition Coil Pack Set for ZC6 uses the earlier Type-1 connector, so check the year before ordering.

What is the difference between Type-1 and Type-2?

The coil connector changed part way through FA20 and FB production. Cusco makes Type-1 for the earlier cars and Type-2 for the later ones, with different connector shapes, so only one will plug into a given car. This set is Type-1; 2015 and later BRZ and FR-S, and 2017 and later Forester, use Cusco part 966 748 A.

Why replace working factory coils?

A coil that delivers a stronger, more consistent spark helps the mixture light reliably when cylinder pressure is high, which is where a tuned or boosted engine asks the most of its ignition. Cusco builds this set for drivers who have raised boost or compression and want more ignition headroom to match.

Does it need a tune or ECU change?

No. Cusco describes the set as a direct replacement for the factory coil packs that works with the factory ECU, so it plugs into the factory harness and needs no change to the calibration. On a tuned car, keep the spark plug type and gap that the tuner specifies.

Should the spark plugs be changed at the same time?

It is a good time to check them, because the plugs are exposed once the coils come out. Fit plugs of the heat range and gap the engine calls for, which may be colder than stock on a tuned car, and replace any plug that shows wear or fouling.

Description

Cusco Type-1 Direct Ignition Coil Pack Set for ZC6 Subaru BRZ, ZN6 Scion FR-S and SJ Subaru Forester

Cusco’s Type-1 Direct Ignition Coil Pack Set for ZC6 Subaru BRZ, ZN6 Scion FR-S and SJ Subaru Forester replaces the four factory direct ignition coils on the early FA20 and FB-engine cars with Cusco’s High Spark Power coils, a multi-spark cycle design Cusco quotes at approximately 46 percent above the factory coil. Type-1 is the earlier connector style, for the 2013 and 2014 BRZ and FR-S, the 2013 and 2014 Impreza and Crosstrek, and the 2014 to 2016 Forester. It plugs into the factory connectors and works with the factory ECU.

Design and Performance

Each direct ignition coil sits on top of a spark plug and builds the voltage that jumps the plug gap. The higher the cylinder pressure, the more voltage that takes, so a tuned or boosted engine is where a marginal coil shows up first, as a misfire under load. The Type-1 Direct Ignition Coil Pack Set for ZC6 gives the early cars the same High Spark Power design as Cusco’s later Type-2 set, matched to the earlier connector so it fits the factory harness without adapters.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
