Extended plug wires?

[jakelandry]

OK, i have a 6 bolt swap and when i bought the car the ignition coil was zip tied down, so i relocated it above the side motor mount. Now my plug wires wont reach without running them directly over the top of my timing cover. I really need new wires anyway being as im not sure what brand i have (they just say 7mm high temp silicone) and their connections are brittle and nearly falling apart due to corrosion. Ive heard you can buy wire kits from like pep-boys but i really would like to add a decent reputable part to my car. Ive heard magnacore can make you a custom set but im nearly confident im not willing to spend that kind of money . Does anyone know where i could get a longer set that would go completely around the back side of my timing cover and to the motor mount? If im not mistaken ive seen someone else with the same setup, but i think they used a create-your-own wire kit. All suggestions are appreciated.

Could you possibly relocate the ignition coil on the firewall or strut tower instead? I've seen some people do that. Perhaps you need the Jmfab coil bracket, its cheap at only $35.00 and relocates the coilpack under the intake manifold.

Yea ive read about their bracket and i assume i could use it as a last resort. Honestly i like where i relocated it and i have seen a few people with it there.. One other thing i am having problems with if anyone happens to know right off hand. When i took the coils off of the 2g stock bracket im not entirely sure i recall which was the 2-3 set and which was the 4-1 set. I did notice that the back of one of the coil packs has 2 red wires and one blue, whereas the other has 1 red and 1 blue wire. Does anyone know which one the 2 red wire one is? I think its the 2-3 but i hate to hook everything up wrong.

I would go with BrokenTsi thats probably the easiest way and it will clean up the engine bay a bit!

Im pretty sure the coil packs are interchangeable.

Does it spark 2 cylinders at a time? like i could swap the 4 and 2 wires (provided they are corresponding) for example and see no difference?

I don't want to answer that and possibly be wrong. I have heard of 2g guys swapping firing orders for some reason, but I dont remember why. Maybe a 2g expert will chime in.

If im not mistaken, you swap plug wires 1 and 4 with 2 and 3. The only problem im running into is determining which coil is which being as i removed them from the stock bracket where it was labled.

Could someone just look at the back of their coil pack for me and see which set has the 2 red and 1 blue wires... thank you in advance.
