I have a RB25DET 1.generation with the external ignition amplifier and stock coils. To get it to work with high boost I'm using NGK BCPR7ES plugs gapped to 0.60mm but it doesnt run very smooth with a cold engine or at low revs because of the heat value and low gapping.

I also bought a HKS DLI2 with twinspark\CDi but it came with a wiring harness for a rb25det 2.gen engine wich has different coils and the ign amp integrated in the ecu so I could not install it.

But I know I need a stronger spark! So what alternatives are there to improve spark on a 1.gen engine? I've heard the splitfire coilpacks are nothing else than stock coils with blue paint. And I think my stock coilpacks are in decent shape. Anybody got any tips on products?

You dont need stronger spark i reckon

You need GOOD coils, and GOOD plugs, and a GOOD tune.

Thats it. :D

The HKS spark box is only for when you get above 350rwkw, if your breaking down before that... coils is the likely option

I'm running a GT4088R with about 1.5 bars of boost now. It starts popping and misfiring under boost after that. But I want to run about 2.0 bar. And im aiming for about 650-700hp at the wheels

You have some sort of ingition issue then

Stock coils combines with the HKS box has many a time run over 500rwkw.

Plenty of Jap cars have done it :)

excactly, thats why I need a HKS box that fits my ignition system. the DLI2 amp unit apparantly doesnt. I cant find anybody who has made it work and how.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
