munro run up to 450kw at the treads with standard coils they are very good but like anything they need care and attention....

i will be running bosch motorsport items on mine when its rebuilt and also CDI!! Should never have a problem... oh and the bosch units are only $44 each thats the price of a good second nissan one!!!

I visited a well known engine tuning workshop last weekend with some questions re: coil packs (rb25det) and he basically said that for the extra ~$300 (~$900 for Spitfires or ~$600 for new nissans) that the spitfires aren't worth it.

$44 for Bosch sounds alright...

With the Bosch ones you need to mount them remotely, run a HT lead , and re-wire the coil pack loom - not a big job but worth it for the $$ you save -

You could make it look great with Red HT leads or something.

spitfires are around $600 for a set, so better value than nissan.

We had trouble with spark quenching at anything over 22psi=350awkw.Installed splitfires and not only gained power and torque, but could put more boost into it (26psi=390awkw).A lot different on the track too as stacey had a lot of trouble hanging on to her on the first few runs until she got used to the additional power....Paul......DIRTgarage

was going to make my own thread but i guess this is suitable to add to this thread as might also be usefull for others.

i'm looking at getting some spitfire coil packs for my RB20DET, just curious as to:

-> where people get them from for such a good price? (ie $600)

-> if they work well with a stock computer? (i'm guessing there shouldn't be any issues, unlike injectors)

-> would spitfire coil packs for a RB20DET be interchangeable with a RB25DET? (incase i decide to upgrade the motor in the near future)

Can anyone tell me what is needed to run MSD coil kits? (ie using normally a MSD unit and run iginition wire straight to spark plugs).

I have seen the rogoli modify their 300+RKW cars without spending 1000 dollars on a stupid coil pack.

Any Advantages over the standard pack?

Splitfires $600!!? Me too.

"unlike injectors"?? - Is this why when I installed RX7 Injectors they did not seem to all be firing properly on my R32 GTS4? Cant the ECU handle the same impedence larger injectors OK??

Sorry if off topic.

Not sure about other places but we sell them for $750 or $630 if we could get a group buy of 5 people.

As far as i know, there are only 2 types of coil packs for the Rb engines.. the ones which suit all S2 engines (with ignitor module built into each coil) and the ones for all S1 (single ignitor module at back of coil pack cover).

I got told that their are 2 diff type coil packs for S1 engines and 1 type for S2 engines (S1.5 engines use S2 coils). . . That was by Just Jap Auto in Kirrawee Sydney.

I put S2 coils in my S1.5 and they "worked" (I still have a miss so either 1 of the 2 I put in is faulty or I have more than 2 that needed replacing).

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
