Help With Spitfire Coils In Rb25

[kamakazi]

hi everyone

i am having problems getting some spitfire coils to work in my r32 which has a series 1 rb25 in it. i believe that the spitfire coils that i were given were for a series two rb25. The plugs which go into my coils on my engine are brown but i have swapped them for the series 2 they grey plugs and have swapoped the wires around so that the positive negitive and ground are the right way around.

i still have the ignitor on the coil pack cover and i have plugged it all up and i am getting no spark. have i done all this for nothing? please help

Should this work? why or why not?

Thankyou in advance

Regards Cameron

S2 coils have the ignitor built into the coil, while S1 coils require an ignitor module. The S2 coils will not work if connected through an ignitor module.

Get the S1 coils.

Cameron,

For Series 1 RB25DET (Wih the ignitor pack) you need "SF-DIS-001" model splitfires.

For Series 2 RB25DET (Without the ignitor pack) you need "SF-DIS-005" model splitfires.

I dont think having S2 coilpacks in S1 car will work. and vice versa.

Hope that helps

Sorry cant help ya there.

Though I "think" you cant bypass it. (Dont quote me on that)

Good luck with it!

thanks for your help so far. i kow it must be possible because on a series two rb25 to run a wasted spark setup u have to run a igitor pack and u have to be able to wire it up somehow.

i think you will just need a series 2 wiring loom.

yeah the signal from the ECU is still the same, as mentioned grab a SII loom and just use that (hence bypassing the ignitor)

[kamakazi]

grab a whole series 2 loom or just the coil pack loom?

grab a whole series 2 loom or just the coil pack loom?

my guess would be the coil pack loom(?).. Any chance of throwing in some stock S1 coils? that'd be the easiest way to get it at least running.. but then youve gone to the trouble of swapping all the plugs over...

look on the bright side, you need it running by friday, its only tuesday

[kamakazi]

yea i have already cut and adapted my loom so i will try putting some tapped coils back in for the time being but i still want the spitfires in

better bet is just get the right ones. the ones you need are the most common type anyway. the SFDIS001. they suit RB26, RB20 and S1 RB25.

[kamakazi]

should i try un wiring the ignitior pack?
