what plugs are you running, and also what gap, try 0.8mm and see how that does, if not go to 0.7 and then 0.65mm.

Mine ar at 0.65 as when it gets dam cold here in tas, the air is so dence, the mixture is very hard to ignite, and my coils suc

Even with splitfires Im running .8 gap as I still got missing at 1.1 (indicating possibly ignitor or something else?) Generally only after Ive babied it around for 50kms so it could just be that the plugs are fouling up. On a cold night it runs really well.

ok got some different coils.

Still have the miss firing problem.

Are they still the VN coils? VN owners look for replacement solutions because of their poor performance on an NA engine, they wont ever work well on your motor.

iv been lookin into this and by the looks of the au coils all 6 and built into the one unit? iv been lookin round on ebay n can u use any type of coil? i understand how it works but dont understand the wiring side of things.. could you remove the coil pack loom n make a new one from scratch?

in the link can this be used or way off? is that to run all 6 or do you need one for eash cylinder?

i find this abit confusing but im very keen to get my head around it n get it workin good

thanks

my pricing is brand new leads and coil pack through repco but at mates rates..

pfft ford.. who would want a ford part on there car.. lol its bad enough we have mitsi parts running our engines

Give me a ford TYPHOON any day smoke back nearly all our cars

VN coils are known to be shit.

Use a VP coil pack, its what is recommended when replacing coils on ones VN dungadoor.

Fords better than Holden anyway. Holdens 'feel' cheap and rattle after a few kms. :)

The VP coils really do throw out a fat spark, I've seen one that I was testing jump ~6cm's and it was fat as, I could hear the crack.

Has any one ran these VN/VP coils at high rpm 7000-8000rpm with decent boost?

Hay guys, i have all my bits now, just need the Coils, whats better to use.

AU S1 Coils.

VN Coils or

VP Coils.

I am also using a S1 ignitor for an R33. Mine is a S2. I have made a plug that goes form S2 loom to S1 ignitor and onlt the coils.

I hope this works, i would hate to spend money and get nowhere.

cubes i regulary run the r33 using the vn coils to redline running 13.5 psi gapped plugs to 75thou.I dont no if thats the sort of figures ur after but it has missed once when the plugs where at 1.1 I will be upgrading the vn coils with msd shortly

So which to get. You see mine is a S2, so i got the ignitor, but it is going to cost me another $90 for plugs to make up a harness between the S1 ignitor and the S2 loom. So all up looking at close to $300. Now i think it might be easier to get splitfires.

i hav done 2 wasted spark conversions 1 using a vp coilpack into an rb30det and a mitsubishi diamonte v6 into my rb20de.

at first they both went like shit on a stick there was a huge diff in acceleration and the idle was mint.

as far as i know the mitsi alternative has not relly been tried but it cretes a huge spark it manager 2 jump out of the ht lead thru another 3 cm to the plenum so thats about 6cm in total.

but after about 3 weeks the rb30 stopped makin spark all together when it was taken 2 the tunors he said that it was because the r32 igniter was not compatible with the waisted spark and the charge times are diff so as a result we had been over working the igniter this resulted in the link ecu needing rebuilding and a new igniter out of a mitsi or holden needing 2 be rewired in its not yet back from the tunor but il keep u updated.

now for mine. the rb20 didnt give me any trouble until all of a sudden it stalled when i left it at idle n it refused 2 start there was full battory but it would only start when i pushed it once i got it going it didnt give me any trouble till the next day. it started first pop but on my journey i pulled over and left it idling again when it stalled it would not start under the battory and i reset the ecu several times. that night i towed it home, i tow started it a couple of times on the way home and it would only idle and not rev the minuit i touched the accelerator it would start missing and then stall unless i quickly pumped the pedal. since i got it home it will idle and start under battory but still not rev i have restored the factoy coils and that didnt fix it i also tried replacing the afm i hav the hunch its the ecu and will be replacing that soon 2 c what happens.

im prety sure the rb20's problems are a result of the ignition mods but if any1 can can prove me wrong i would be quite gratefull

the rb30's problems are deffinetely a result if the coil pack mods

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
