There are a couple of threads on here on how to do it with different coilpacks. Unfortunately the igniters dont handle it so well, as these coils have a much higher current draw, and th other problem is the ignition dwell time isnt suited to the se big coils, so they dont fully charge(saturate), hence you dont really get the full benefit of the big coil. I dont think ive ever heard of a splitfire dying, all the people that ive heard of having problems with them are because they fit splitfires to fix something which wasnt the coils.

ive seen splitfire coilpacks to suit my GTR for $350. if the cheapest you have seen is for $600, then id suggest you look a bit more. easier then modding the wiring looms and changing the igniter. My 2c anyway

Over here (in Malaysia) we use Mitsubishi 6A12 (2.0 V6) coilpacks due to the lack of reliability of stock RB coils. But we use Megasquirt instead of stock ecu or Power FC... So far only 1 or 2 cars used this setup (experimental stage) and so far there's no problem...

how about hyundai sonata coilpacks. the 3 packs of 2 coils if you know what i mean. like the commodore ones but for a hyundai

thanks for ideas but to keep to a tried and true type msg, also running fairly stock so adjusting recharge wont really be a major issue, so ill just use rb ignighter and VL coils, ill do a lil writeup after as well to help ppl in my situation later on

hey man,

parts needed:

VN Coilpack(the square type one, or the round, i've got the squarer one, because it looks better against my firewall)

VL set of sparkleads, shouldn't be too much or mix and match your own :fakenopic: just get the NGK or Eagle ones from supercheap

use a VN coilpack(Block of three coils with 2 spark leads on each side)

they are round $60-80 new i think? try the local holden dealer

sell your old coils for whatever yuo get for them, usually $20 each or so(here in NZ anyway, not much because they are poo)

keep the coil loom, cut the wires at the end, label them all though :) for each cylinder, then wire them up, i think it goes 1/6(first coil 2/5(second coil) 3/6(third coil)

It'll make it dead easy to change sparkies as well :rant:

I think if you want to use the original VL coilpack, you'd need some way of firing it? because it's dizzy standard isn't it? not sure if an ignitor would work in that sense, although it could do

Ah thankyou thankyou thats exactly wat i was looking for, VN ones not VL would be the go

the ignitor isnt really an issue yet

Like before ill do a writeup with photos when i do it

if the ignitor cant handle the current draw, what about relays? 6x GT40's with relays direct to the battery, would be ideal wouldnt it?

and on that note, what about adding capacitors etc?

this is a reply to the first post. vn coil pack fire both sparks together. on a vn it will be matched to one cylender that is on its power stroke and one cylender that is on its exhaust stroke to burn any unburnt fuel. it all helps with emissions. so you need to make sure yours is firing on the exhaust and power stroke of matching cylenders.

i know this has been said before but this realy is a crap way to go about fixing spark problems.

firstly you get a break down of spark by having high tensile leads. coil packs are right on the spark plug.

having the coils mounted on the firewall is going to induce more heat than the coil packs would get. nissan designed coil packs to sit where they do and they didnt expect someone to9 mod their engine 17years later and expect them to hold up to it. the coil packs are mounted at the front of a vn commo so they get cooling from the rad fan.

oh i am sure you know anyway. just get some spitfires. slide and croyden are in a bidding war at the moment at having the cheapest spitfires in aus. you could get a set for $500. that cheap. just do that.

ive been running el coil pack on my car with leads for some time now, spark jumps as far as the grand canyon, its up to you. spend the $500 for a bolt in coil pack that looks neat and can run std dwell, or bolt in a diff pack with leads and run more dwell= bigger charge and greater spark therefore better burn and more power is made, they f**kout due to the heat from being bolted to the cylinder head, i can guarantee you mounting it on the firewall would be not as hot for the coil. ive seen the el pack on rb26 t88 make well into 700bhp with no issue's std ignitor. however this was dyno time only, dont know how long it lasted this way.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
