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?

my splitfires died after only 8 months :ermm: . i just hope the workshop that installed them will replace them under warranty, guess i'll find out tomorrow when i speak to them

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

series 1

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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
