Coil size between front and rear coils.

THIS IS FOR A vq30DEK.


Hey, I wanted to ask this. I know it sorta sounds like which intake should i get question but I just dont know how to look this up without getting hands on coils OR taking mine out.

This is in research for my motor build/ FI project within the next few weeks.

I am going to be chainging the intake manifold on my car. I don't want to have the rear coils sitting there like a fork in cake. (sticking out of the valve cover).

I wanted to know if I can put a set of front coils (ones that are flat mounted under the "nissan 3000" cover on the rear) as opposed to the ones that are on teh rear stock which stick out .

It is an looks thing but I want to do it so I will be happy with my build.

QUESTIONS:

are the front and rear coils the same length?
Meaning is the part inside the valve cover the same length between the front and rear coils. I understand I would have to make some sort of way for the coils to be screwed down.

You can put front coils in the back without a problem.

I dont remember off the top of my head if the "stem" is a different length or not, but you can swap that part out too either way. They pop right off and on. What intake manifold are you gonna use?

wait so your telling me the rubber part that sits into the spark plug can be swapped.

for example if I were to take a set of front 98DE coils & 00DEK rear coils, I can take the rubber stem that reaches into the valve off my 00DEK rears and put it on the front 98DE transformer(brick like part)?

That should reach the rear plugs cause i think they sit a bet deeper as the front coils sits into the front valve cover so the plastic "nissan 3000" cover can sit on top.
