I seen most of the 80-s overseas had installed the single coil or direct ignition coil.Does anyone of you guys know whether those gives you more power? or any advantage from it? Thank you

I'm new and don't have an FZJ80, but i can tell you this, down here in Venezuela the 2002 and up FZJ 71 have three coils (each one with 2 outputs) and it's stock. Don't know if that's what you're looking for, but i know that when they switched to this system they gained lower torque and certainly HP.
If you want pictures or anything let me know.

Post pictures of the Venezuela setup please. Thanks!
I think there is a positive jump in bling factor x2.
I must have that stuff...
The biggest benefit is that it eliminates the need for a distributor and rotor. The three coil system works by firing two cylinders simulataneously, with one cylinder being on the compression stroke, and one being on the exhaust stroke. No benefit to firing on the exhaust stroke, it is just that this scheme minimizes the number of coils required to 3.
I wouldn't expect much of a perfomance increase on a stock engine, presuming the single stock coil and distributor are adequate to ignite the fuel mixture. I would expect that the aftermarket suppliers promise astonishingly big power gains.

I have noticed that the 105 series with the 1fz-fe seem to all have direct igntion witht the packs located where the distributor once was. Was this an update to the engine after 97 ie. 80 series vs 105 series? And could one convert an older US version to the newer direct igntion
You are going to need at minimum a new computer, possibly a harness and off course the ignition system
this is the change along with platinum plugs that brought about the 100K mile tune up, no cap and rotor, it would be cheaper and easier to just change your cap and rotor an a regular schedule,
From what I understand 98 and on the 1FZ got direct ignition, the 1fz was not sold here form 98 on so we did not get them.

That's a cool setup LX, but does anyone know if we get the MSD type system on our 80 be around the same. Also possible w/o getting a new ECU / Computer?
Just a thought.

I totally agree, is not as simple as just buy the setup for the stock coils. Also, these engines have a diferent compression, they increased it slightly, there are some other mods to it, but i don't really know them all.
Also, by giving two spark (one on compression and one on exhaust) doesn't do much for power, but it does reduce the polution on the tailpipe, being that when it shoots in the exhaust stroke all the gas that wasn't burned will combust and clean itself a little more.
BTW: iirc this engine has about 230HP and around 280 lb-ft, at what RPM is totally out of my mind since i can't remember.

I remember that Harley used a dead spark setup, didn't they foul alot of plugs.
