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.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
