The S2 coils have ignitor built in, you can use them, providing you use the S2 coil loom and make up a plug that converts form the S1 ecu to s2 coils. I am using a S1 ignitor on my S2 as i am using a wasted spark setup with some AU s1 coils from a falcon.

Sounds like a lot of work.

I've just found an article relating to my question. It is said that the S2 came out with better Ignition and ECU. Is it possible to just replace the ECU and COILS with S2 on an S1? Has this been done before? If so what advantages and disadvantages can one expect? The article also said that S2's have NEO HEADS for enviromental reasons and also increased performance. Will this be an issue if i change my S1 COILS and ECU with an S2 as my cylinder heads is not a neo? (Unless maybe i repalced my cylinder head with an S2 Neo.)

as far as i know the ecu in S1 and S2 is exactly the same. The S2 have the ignitor built into each coil, which couses grater spark, but they are still crap, mine are ded big time.

As for the head, i am 99% sure its thesaem as the last S1. I think there was some differance with teh early S1 but not sure.

It's no big deal making up the setup i am going for. It will give me dam strong spark, and hopefully fix some of my problems.

Im not sure what boost you are running but if you have ignition problems its probably due to the age of the coils, not the series. Or incorrect plug and gap. A new set of coils will be happy at 20psi+. Most aftermarket ECUs run the ignitors built in so they use series one coils. You can allways go to a MSD or CDI unit.

Im running 10.5psi on a stock S1 turbo, Iridium plugs with gaps set at .8mm and it misfires between 4000 to 5000 rpm. The car has ran 130+000. what would be the ideal ignition system for the car? and what does wasted spark mean? By the way the car is Automatic (By preference) looking into upgrading the torque converter into high stall torque converter and a shift kit.

Very easy fix, do a search for wasted spark, there is a main page there, all explained well.

But basicaly you change the system to fire two cylinders at once, 1 and 6 ect ect.

I'll check it out. thanks for that link 'WogsRus' ! but can u give a brief on that? what sort of benefits/ advantage and disadvantages are there when changing to such system?

main advantage is that the coil is wasy form the heat, and its just as strong if not a stronger spark, depending on what coil you use, then direct replacemnt splitfire coils. It cost about $100 for the coil, Au S1 is vest or VP commodore one. If you want to keep the original loom for the coils, a second hand one is about $30 use these to make the new loom. Custom leeds to suit length and tophat, $100 or $50 for generic ones to do best fit. Propably $10 for a custom bracket and your done. wire it all up and hay preston, new ignition, so thats about $250 at best, less then half that of splitfires.

As an advantage, if there is any fuel left in the syetm, on the exhaust stroke, the spark reignites the mixture, but this in reality doesn't happen as there is no fuel to burn, unless you have a problem. LOL.

So it mainly cost and efectivness. You can get this setup working for as little as $140 if you use secondhand parts. I have a S2 car so i need an ignitor aswell, and i am buying all new parts and all new connectors ect, and total cost is $300.

Are you sure Toffy, i was not aware that it is different at all.

The S1 has external ignitor and S2 has internal on coils, still same signal. Hence why a PFC is valid for all years of R33.

I thought S2 came out with an improved ignition module and ECU.

theres heaps of minor differences actually, the main one being the tps (s2 has 2 small boxes on the throttle body and s1 has only one), the pfc would have provisions for either i believe, but ive never used one so i couldnt tell ya :laugh:

yeah the S2 has two plugs on the TP but only uses one of them, the other is a blank, not connected, well it isn't in mine at all.

DAM IT i can get a mines ECU for buga all, but i don't want to see if it will work if it blows something up.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
