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).

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
