Raysboostin Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 (edited) coils are coils, but you would need to stuff around mounting them, they would not have bolt in direct fire ones like jjr/splitfire/owm coils are denfinately not all the same. the aftermarket stuff has really come a long way. the nissan std coils r quite good, but imo there is a whole range on very powerful coils out there that would b better than std (and prob cost around the same sort of $$). example, i changed to MSD coils from stock ones in my V6 commodore and dropped from 14.5 to 14.02 with just the coils and a small adjustment to the tune in the last 1000rpm (merely to correct a/f ratio). making brackets isnt that envoled either.

Cubes Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Well i have some issues with Splitfires, the first set died 6 montch after purchase 4 coils startred to die, and it looks like that migh be the case again, either way my Central 20 ECU and splitfires don't like a gap above .8 mm at 15 psi The issue is clearly with the ecu/tuner combination. Have your tuner pull his finger out of his bottom and check the coils dwell vs rpm has been setup correctly. If its not it will either provide a weak spark or overheat and kill the coils quickly. My bets are on the later.

In other words you haven't pulled the coil packs out yourself, inspected them did the usual trouble shooting one does before they come to the conclusion that something has died. What brought you to that conclusion? If its started popping it can be maaaaaaaaaany things. The AFR's are too rich. Plugs need regapping. Plugs need replacing. Ignition has crapped its self (if its a s1). So fingers crossed its something silly.

mesmerized Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 (edited) yes i am guessing so probably shouldn't assume but the car makes excatly the same noise as when my OEM coils had died. last week it started stuttering/shaking at idle. now at 4000rpm onwards it pops to the bs took it to my other local mechanic and he had a quick check of the plugs/sensors/af meter couldn't find anything obviously wrong plugs were replaced same time as splitfires installed don't have an a/f ratio gauge series 1 Edited November 18, 2007 by into oblivion Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/187108-jjr-coil-packs-vs-oem-vs-splitfire-vs-other/page/4/#findComment-3482095 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mesmerized Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 yes, hope hope it's something basic. otherwise hope hope it's still covered under warranty. i've still got the receipt from the mechanic. anyone know what the warranty is on splitfires, someone please say 12 months?

4drftn Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 found these coil packs on ebay. they are called super spark coils and they say that they give you 10% more spark and they are to suit RB20, RB25 and RB26. at $499 what do you reckon? has anyone else heard or know of anyone using these. they look to me to be similar looking to the JJR packs http://cgi.ebay.com.au/SUPER-SPARK-Coil-Pa...1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/187108-jjr-coil-packs-vs-oem-vs-splitfire-vs-other/page/4/#findComment-3520623 Share on other sites More sharing options...
