Ok i could think of 1 way ...... find a model EG series 2 r 33 ..... find people who have splities jjr yellow jackets ect ..... who have run them for around 20000 kms who are within the same power range let say 180-200 kwatw and test them with the multi meter then compair results with an adverage ?

Really? Like everything these days? Thas fascinating.

The multimeter readings won't prove much vs. real world results IMO. I dynoed my S15 track car with Splitfires and then with YJs. This is a 280rwkw car on E85 and the differences were negligible when overlayed. Where the Splitfires achieved 3kw more at one point, the YJs would be 3kw higher at another point. In fact overall I was a little happier with the YJ graph, but again it's completely negligible. Coilpacks have to provide a current...it's not like different brands of turbo where you're going to end up with dramatically different results on the dyno. They seem to either work or they don't. The only inbetweens come from wear over time, but all brands seem to carry the same time/km warranty.

^ Just expanding on one point birds alluded to, multimeter testing would require a constant problem, but when I used to have trouble with the stock coilpacks they worked inconsistently, sometimes the car would run as normal, others it'd be missing all over the place.

Thats an interesting input.... good to see they both have differance in application .... sorry i ment to describe a test for how they help up for stregth not power as in test the resistance between all................... the standard ones that i had the differance between working and missing was 1310 to 1410 it was funny to see .0100 was the diff between working and not ..... i would want to see how they all hold up for time .... how long they last

So for those who've had yellow jackets fail, did they die completely or develop a missfire on high rpm boost (as per broken OEM's).

I've had mine in for about a year and just had the misfire reappear.

Mine died completely...well the car would start on 5 cylidners and take 5 minutes of warm up before the 6th one kicked in. Easy to diagnose...just swapped the coilpacks around until I found the dud.

after skimming through SAU threads relating to YJs v SFs, the common thing that gets brought up about YJs is the price difference, made in china, the odd YJ being returned and they still seem to do the job.

Im definitely keen to have this 'officially' tested to settle the argument(s) and to see the figures etc. But atm, I'm about $$$.. so YJ's will be my choice for when they need replacing.

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
