Hi Im new to the forums and I have a 2001 Oldsmobile Alero 2.4L 4Cyl DOHC and was wondering what performance parts I could buy for the car that would work with the stock engine and transmission.

http://sites.google.com/site/aleromodupgrades you can do quite a bit with the 2.4 for cheap

How hard are the applications to do these custom fits? and where do i put the coils whenever i get them wired? I am still really new to this

[[ion] C2]

wherever you want to

[jmray91]

When i change out the original coils to msd coils what do i do with the original coil pack housing because if im correct thats where the ICM plugs into and in the photos it looks like it still plugs back in the spot after you change out the coils and it doesnt say where to mount the new coils or anything at least from what i can see. I dont mean to be a pest im just really new to modding cars like this and need specific help on these things

[[ion] C2]

the icm stays on the ignition cover

the new coils go wherever you want them to... you can see in the pictures that i put them on the fuse box

[jmray91]

ok so i take the wiring from the coils and wire into the icm?

[jmray91]

and do you have a picture with everything installed with the cover off so i can get and example of what they look like

[[ion] C2]

i might. follow the instructions though, it's very obvious what to do when you start taking this apart. lol

coils are not going to make a big difference, at all on your car though. it's a supporting modification for when you're pushing a lot of air through the engine.. the stock system will be just fine until you turbocharge

alright thank you so much this is alot of help.

Stock ignition is good for more hp than you can make N/A
