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

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
