Bosch Mec717/718 Coil Packs

[Xander]

Hi All,

I have been doing some research and it seems some people have used a wasted-spark setup to fix their old coilpack issues. I have a series 1 R33 GST25t skyline and my coils are dead! So unusual... Anyways, I have found some bosch mec717/ mec718 which would allow me to keep it running with the individual 6 coils. Has anyone used these before? Will they work with my standard s1 ignitor or will these kill it? Any help would be great. Thanks

Nate

I'm yet to see individual bosch coils perform properly when teamed with the stock ecu/power fc and ignitor.

I tried for about 6 months to get some working and ended up buyng splitfires. They were HEC617 off the top of my head but i could have the number wrong.

It won't work, to saturate a large coil like those Bosch you need a longer dwell time (charge time) otherwise the spark will be weak, and you will have the same issues. Standard Nissan coils are only going to have like a 1.8-2ms dwell time, those large Bosch will need around 3.5ms to perform properly.

i have seen the bosch coils used on a skyline. it was in a hpi or something like that. they used a msd ignitor though. the damn thing is about the size of a 200w amp.

Thanks for the advice. Since posting this I have decided to not stuff around with this and just order a set of spitfires. I think they are the best solution and lets face it ignition is not something you want to stuff up.
