The factory ECU is not designed to run COP's. So you have to retain the
igniter (and sometimes coil also) to provide the IGf and IGt signals that
the ECU requires. Then you finish up with four "dumb" coils sitting on top
of the plugs, batch firing at four times the rate they were designed to fire.

It can be made to work, but offers no performance advantage over the
stock ignition system. Club4AG has hundreds of threads detailing the
problems people have with getting the DIY COP's to function. So I suggest
that if you want a system that works like factory with no problems, stay
with the dissy and relocation kit.

But if you want the "look" of COP's, and don't mind getting your car towed
home now and then, get a set of Civic COP's. s-86 even do a COP
mounting plate Smile
