Hey guys, I run a set of the yellow jacket coil packs that Performance Wise offers. To set the scene, picture an RB30 block, built to "nissan spec" (Now, I use this term loosely, as the whole motor

Not true for Yellow Jackets. We tested the YJs thoroughly before releasing them to the market. Not just in the factory, but on the street and the track, in real life circumstances. Im still in contact

This is an outdated statement as everything is made in China these days. My Yellow Jackets are made in china and I oversee QC and work closely with my factory and now, 5 years later, and over 2000 se

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.

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.

does that mean if i put aftermarket coilpacks in i will have to get a re tune. you cant just put these in?

are you sure your central 20 ecu supports sequential ingition and is not operating in batch mode or something ?

out of the 50-60 or so splitfires we have supplied in the last 12 months or so we have NEVER had a single one fail

out of interest OEM coils are 180 each trade price and the coil pack loom (engine sub harness) is about 200$

standard ecu

mods - zorst, FMIC, pod

only mod i added since splitfires was manual boost controller set to 10psi, 200rwkw

and i don't thrash my car, only done 5000km since coils changed to the splitfires

ok as you didn't fit the splitfires your self I'm assuming your guessing that the coil packs have died.

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. :ermm:

What brought you to that conclusion?

If its started popping it can be maaaaaaaaaany things. :D

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. :D

yes i am guessing so probably shouldn't assume :D

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

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?

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

They are exactly the same as JJR, only $100 dearer per set.

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
