$560 for the box

$95 for the harness

Both delivered from Nengun. I have one in my car man. Seems to work a treat.

Would be a good idea to upgrade but its like changing the stock bov's on a gtr, no required.

If my ignition wasn't up for the task my tuner would have told me from the onset.

I'm only running 405awkw :) maybe when pushing monstrous power this mod is needed on the gtr

i never really thought about that - are you referring to the ignition box?

how much are they approx?

Marko I run the HKS Twin Power amplifier and was running Splitfires with no drama until new engine dropped in. I was always happy with the Splitfires performance.

We ran 2 new sets tuning the new engine and always at around 8200rpm we started getting misfire so went back to standard and sweet as. Engines putting out around the 450kw mark and still has to have final power check.

The Jap guys reckon the Splitfires are a great performance upgrade but when starting to push over 600ps upwards they tend to misfire. The HKS guys were always umming and aahing when I chose Splitfires over the standard coils. I'm not knocking them as they are a great product but they have their limitations.

Most big power engines/race engine in Japan are using standard coil packs or the Okada Project Plasma Directs

Either one new will rip a new hole where the sun dont shine !

i wondered about the Okada Project Plasma Directs as i saw them on rhdjapan website when i ordered my splitfires BUT the price was 3 times that of the splitfires @ $1450 for the set...anyway, my tuner recommended splitfires so i stuck with them :unsure:

liek u say as well - any new coil pack will be better than 20year old factory coils!

The Splitfires are a great coil pack but talking to alot of tuners in Japan they find they have limits with big power applications.

My old OEM's were sweet as where the Splitfires were misfiring.

Ended up getting a new set at a good discount through friend at Nissan, still hurt the pocket and thats why I bought the Splitfires in the first place.

The Okada's ..well love to get them but the price tag is a bit too much on the ouch side.

Agreed, any of the big HP RB's we have had through had the same issues, chuck in a set of new OEM coil packs and a HKS twin power and the sky was the limit.

Rewire your coilpacks straight to battery with a relay and ignition onto the old wiring with an inline fuse should stop a lot of the "coilpack melting" episodes people seem to be having :P

Bought JJR coilpacks for a R33 S2 and they were never right but now are misfirring badly at high boost and guess what? It has been about 15 months after purchase so now im fooked... Should I try to gap the plugs to 0.7mm? I currently have BCPR7ES gapped to 0.8mm and its missfiring under high boost. These coilpacks are pieces of shit seriously!

Edited by da spike

why don't you call the guys you bought the pieces of shit of and talk to them before slagging them off. Have you tried any other coils? Do you know coils are even you problem? They obviously are not the fix to every single missfire problem

What do people (who know) think of these 'direct from battery' wiring setups?

Any advantage or disadvantage to these?

  • 4 weeks later...
had my yellow jackets for over 5000kms, 2 track days and a motorkhana. pulled them out the other day for inspection and no signs of wear at all, still going very strong :thumbsup:

That's great

Anyone else have sustained track-work experiences for Yellow Jackets???

A few years back I started to get a miss at 4500-5000rpm on acceleration (peak torque).

Pulled out the stock coils and cleaned em, then wrapped em with self amalgamating tape, checked plugs, still missed so old coil had had it.

Bought splitfires from just jap, put em in, no more missfire, no problem at all since and that was like over 4 years ago!

Run up to around 470hp at the treads and no probs.

Yellow jackets look like a good replacement from what you guys have experienced though.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
