No More Coil Packs


Recommended Posts

well after buying more coil pack, it was time to move on to something else so this is what i did. i got a six pack coil off a ford EDIS setup and rewired my coil pack harness and wala no more coil packs. this is only been on for a week still running it to see if there is and future problems, but right now it runs like new.

here is a link to my site Warning tons of pics NO MORE COIL PACKS :laugh::):D:)

hay budy i was looking at the same setup for my R33, how does it wokr, ok. I have a S2, so i needed to buy a whole heap of crap, and all up close to $350, so i am now loking at selling it all and going to splitfires.

Is this setup worth it?

the problem i have is i have to convert my engine S2 looom to accept a S1 ignitor and all the other wires, i don't want to cut the loom as i can always go back to standard, and each plug, i need 3, is $30, ne leads, new coils, I am talking all new prices.

Thank God someone has finally come up with this great idea!

I had BIG dramas trying to pin point the stuffed coil pack a few months ago.

Every time the coil started to play up i would pull over turn car off and attempt to pull all the stuff off like cooler piping etc then it would run fine Grrrrrrr. Took my 3 months of drivingit around running great till it warmed up. Such a pain in the ass!

Might have to give this a go :wub:

So now instead of just coil packs to cause you problems you now have 12 high voltage connections, 6 of which are totally exposed to under bonnet contamination. Plus the spark plugs are no longer sealed with means corrosion betweeen the steel spark plug body and the alloy cylinder head.

I give it a few months before you have even more problems. Probably faster if it rains.

D cheers :wub:

just for the coil you can from auto part store for like $90 get it for a SC Thunderbird find me a good pinout of your pack harness and ill help you figure it out you shouldnt have to convert back to S1

well most people here run with out the cover to begain with and i will take the 12 High voltage Connections over one bad coil pack anyday

well you see i want to keep all my current S2 loom intacked, that means making up a plug connection to got form S2 loom to S1 ignitor, you haver to do it that way.

Anyway, i think i will go with splitfires anyway.

I fitted splitfires to my R33 yesterday, i can run higher boost now without the flat spots at 4500 rpm now it revs all the way to 7000 without a cough n fart. I have also been using NGK bcpr6 copper plugs at 0.8 gap. I found that all the stock coilpacks were shorting through the plastic jacket, you could see the burn marks obviously. Its just a pitty splitfires are so stuffen exspensive.

    • Slap a 460L into the car, send its mum.  
    • So last night pulling away from the lights, I lost power for about 1 second. Bit weird, but I kept driving... 5 minutes later the pump completely dies. When I tried to start the car, the pump won't even prime.  I left the car for about an hour, tried to start it and it all appeared fine. Pump primed, car started, got the fuel pressure I should have.... Start driving home, 5 minutes later it dies again. I'm stuck in a shit spot this time going up hill with a car right behind me, so I just let the car continue to turn over while praying to the fuel pump gods. After about 2 minutes of turning the engine over, the fuel pump came back to life and I got home (only about another 5 min away).  So I've been digging around online, it seems like the 525 fuel pumps really don't like to be run at 100% all the time. I've found quite a few examples online of people killing their Walbro 525 pumps within about a year of usage when they are run without PWM.  So, my pump is an Aeroflow 525 (AF49-1057) and I've been running it at 100% without PWM. I'm thinking the Aeroflow 525 didn't like being run at 100% and has burnt itself up.  I really am sick of dealing with fuel pump issues, my current thoughts are -  1. Use a Walbro 450 and run it without PWM. It seems like these pumps hold up pretty well to being run at 100% all the time. I only make about 350kw and can't see me making any more power any time soon so this is probably a fine option.  2. Get a Walbro 525, run it with PWM. I know doing this will annoy me as I feel like with only 350kw, its extra expense that I don't "need" and I'll be thinking the whole time while setting it up that I should have gone with option 1. I know I'll be happy with this option when its setup and running, its only the initial setup frustration and cost as an issue.  3. Get a Walbro BKS1001 brushless pump. This is the fu*k it I'm already going PWM, might as well go full retard. This option just seems better in every way, with the only downside being cost. But I don't know much about this pump so I could be wrong.  Happy to get everyone's thoughts before I go digging around in the fuel tank again. 
    • Doing it this weekend. For sure this time. Thank you forum gods.  And im running map sensor now with the haltech. Still have the AFMs attached to the mushroom dome shaped air filter things
    • Actually, it is probably pretty legit. I mean, it's still woke feminazi bullshit academia, but you would have to agree that it is very likely that there would be a correlation between wanting a loud exhaust and scoring at the unpleasant end of the scales for dark triad personality traits. The fact that they found it didn't correlate with narcissism and only with psychopathy and sadism definitely shows that the loud exhaust thing is more of a "f**k you" than a "look at me", and I reckon that rings pretty close to most of the dickheads who take it to the extreme. Remember, this is correlation with tendency to be closer to one end of a personality trait scale than the other end. Of course someone who is at the literal opposite end of the psychopathy scale is going to be so considerate of others that they wouldn't even think about wanting to upset anyone with a loud exhaust. So the finding isn't that "you are a psychopath". Just that you score more towards that end of the scale than someone who doesn't like loud exhausts (on average, not necessarily even for specific individuals).
    • Blitz ER34 at some point hopefully, should be allowed in Gr3 if they do.
