I have a moderatly tuned RB20 with the following mods

Sliding performance hiflow rb25 turbo

GTR injectors

GTR fuelpump

3" turboback, split dump, metal 3" cat

remapped ecu, FMIC ect

I am having a miss when running anything over 16psi with the stock coils (suprise suprise)...

I have ngk copper v plugs gapped to 0.8

Currently with 16psi the car is making 215rwkw. If I wind up the boost to 19psi it will not miss the first 2 runs and it makes 230+rwkw. the car also feels quite a bit faster. after that it all goes to s*^t

Should I stick with 215 and stop spending money or shell out another $600 for spitfires and be able to run the full potential of the turbo and make around 230rwkw

Is 15 kw worth $600?

or should I gap the plugs down further?

put the car back on the dyno today and had bad results due to the coilpacks.

The car only made 204rwkw due to only being able to run 13psi. the car did manage to make 5200n tractive effort but was serverley hindered by missfire.

the afr was perfect on 12:1 from 4000 to redline. so that and the 10 votes for spitfires and none for stockers :/ I have ordered the spitfires.

Really hoping for a solid gain and ability to run 18psi. The funny thing is I was able to run 18 for about 3 weeks and the coils have gradually gotten worse.

the car made 230 before the coils fuc$%d out so thats all I am shooting for.

I wasted hundreds of dollars with secondhand coils and remote coil setups, none of which solved the problem.

Haven't had 1 miss since installing the splitfires

DOOOOO IT!

I found perfectrun to be the cheapest - $535 delivered

    • Chrome surrounds back on and polished up, no idea why some knob would prime a single piece 🙄
    • Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.
    • The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year. 
    • Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)
