Why don't you want to buy Splitfires?

Why don't you want to buy Splitfires?

they cost to much and i want my coils away from yhe heat of the head.

ive heard of people using VN series 2 coils and AU falcon coils with leads to suit

the leads most likely will need to have a boot on the end where it joins the sparkplug (to 'plug' the hole, just like the coil on plug setup now has that wide rubber flange thing)

go to your local Auto1 or repco and they should be able to help you out (specially if you bring your old coil on plug setup)

dont get VN series 1 coils as it is a single big coil pack, where the series 2 is multiple packs

either that or get some splitfires for the VN series 2 as they are about $75 and some decent leads to suit

do a search in the how to section for wasted spark, its a very every well written article with what you need what you can buy and how to do it, read it then you will have all you need to no to be able to do it

^^^^ that's what i was looking for, i'd forgotten what and where it was again

ef coilpack=$105

ef top gun 8mm leads=$30

sparky to wire it up=$50-100 max

ignitor=$80

say roughly $300 worst case..

splitfires=$580 odd from memory double the price?not for me

i know which one is better, ef can run longer dwell then splitfires= better burn= more power

will not over heat due to being able to run away from the cylinder head.

only downside is fitment which isnt hard and the splitfires only thing goin for em is that theyre bolt in. ef coilpack from start to finish max 2hrs.. being an rb25neo would prob have to source a ignitor which is hard.

plenty reason to use an alternative

you'd think that if the coilpacks are such a stupid idea that nissan would have picked up on it instead of manufacturing their rb series engines for over 10 years?

i just replaced mine with spitfires, i figure if the originals lasted 10 years, than the new ones will surely last my time

ive ordered my splitfire coilpack from perfectrun and cost me less then $500

oh well each to theyre own, nissan enginers a motor that works for the best price as mass production, dont think they do it for whats best for the motor, i realise your thinking behind your purchase, think of this the reason coilpacks fail is because of excesive heat. e.g being bolted to the cylinder head then coverd up. ef allows to remotly mount the coilpack and run a longer dwelltime = more power...
