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 The Roo Racing Coil On Plug (COP) Conversion Loom allows you to delete the outdated factory coil pack and external ignitor,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The Roo Racing Coil-On-Plug (COP) Conversion Loom allows you to delete the outdated factory coil pack and external ignitor, converting your machine to a modern individual coil-on-plug setup.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

The only toy my dog wants
Color: Gator, Size: Large, Color: Gator, Size: Large
I have a 9 year old, 12 pound chihuahua, and this toy is everything to him. Ever since he was a tiny puppy, he’s liked toys that are at least as big as he is. Once I got him this, it was the only toy he’d play with. He carries it everywhere. He likes to chew on it, and sometimes pulls apart the threads. He LOVES to play tug of war with it, so the handle is awesome. It has so many squeakers, which is also a plus, and it holds up well for our little guy. We’ve probably had at least 10 of this same toy, we get him a new one about once a year when it starts to get worn. I worry that if they ever stop making it, he’ll be depressed lol. It’s been with him at all life stages and he doesn’t go anywhere without it. Really can’t ask for more when your dog loves a toy this much

Lots of squeakers in this one!
Color: Gator, Size: Large
Our rescue dog is a power chewer so this one doesn't last long, but I still gave 5 stars because it's not advertised for power chewers, so I knew what we were getting when we bought it. So why did I buy this for our dog? The number of squeakers... the dog goes nuts for those and it makes the toy last longer because she will only play with the ones that still squeak.

NOT for aggressive chewers!
Color: Lion, Size: Medium
My aggressive chewer had destroyed this in 3 minutes! Chewed off the ears, and chewed apart the body to try to get to the squeaker - it was in the trash 5 minutes after I gave it to him! Yes, the seams are tough, but he easily chewed around them. Don’t buy this if your dog is an aggressive chewer!

Somewhat durable.
Color: Elephant, Size: Small
My dog loves these toys, I think it's the squeaker. I've tried several and this elephant one holds up the best.

Not tough enough
Color: Elephant, Size: Small
It might be tough, but my 26 pound dog managed to rip it open in record time! The only good thing, the squeaker is a long plastic one and easier to grab before she can swallow it!
