OK, theres alot of talk about wasted spark vs spitfires etc

im just trying to decide what would be best for me (S1 R33 RB25/30)

I want the most efficient burn i can get, so i want powerful coils for over gapped plugs with a strong spark

Whats my best option? from searching, spitfires seem to be pretty similar to stocky's, but brand new, maybe take a bit more heat and a longer dwell...

what about some of the wasted spark options - like aftermarket EL coon ones? and by having overkill for ignition, could power be lost elsewhere (to power it)

sorry for the newb'ish questions

your both right u need a CDI(capacitor distarge ignition) box like a HI6 or MSD but u then need a distributor to send it to plugs and coil like a SUPERCOIL 60k volts<but standard is like that volts

the only thing better is a MAGNETO :( like a top fueler :(

I have a HI6 on my rally car and did think of a magneto for 1800$ but its full on not for street stuff!!

    • I’m here solo don’t have any hands to help so haven’t hit it with a timing light 
    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
