Splitfire Coil Pack Problems

[yye-33w]

Hey i have had Splitfires in my 95 R33 for about a year and a bit now and about 2 months ago i had one blow, then 2 more within days of each oither in the last week

I have never heard of these blowing and know that they have a lifetime warranty right?

I am running a wolf 3D ECU, and have also replaced the spark plugs

when i replaced the first splitfire coil.

gap was good enough according to my mate.

so now i have 3 splitfires and 3 stockies (2nd hand) in the engine

Just wanna know if anyone has come accros this and maybe shead some light as to why they r blowing.

Also i noted that the last one i replaced, it was cutting in and out and then finally blew similar with the 2nd but the 2nd was more like go for a bit then not go for a bit and same with the first one.

They were new 15 months ago also the splitfires that is

Ok hit me back guys

Appreciate anyones 2 cents hey

Peace

Hey Dood,

I have no real world experience, but think i could cut down the possibilities.

Not sure bout any device like a coil pack having a life time warranty, but I know many people with Split Fires, non have had them fail. Having more then one fail in such a short time span would indicate an issue other then the coil itself.

All you've mentioned is the Wolf, are you running 7bar boost? 95% water injection?... anything else that would load a charging device?

At the mo, all i can think of, is the dwell settings in your Wolf is killing them. Im aware ppl dick with dwell when using SF's.

PS: How are they failing? Do they simple stop firing, and cause a dropped cylinder, or is one being sporadic at certain RPM's?

Theres my 2 cents, take it n barter, trade, sell, exploit - what have you

cheers

mine failed after 14 months.

If u call up the seller/distributer they will most probally say its defective manufacturing. Been told theres 1 in 100 theres a defective batch.

Also from what i have been told its not a very popular brand in Japan (dont quote me: This is what i have been told cause they do suck in Japan hence why they are pushing it overseas + the cheap price).

Causing me so much headache when everyone pushes the blame around.

hope that helps.

Just to add Splitfire colipack only have 12 months warranty.

I had two of mine blow because the dwell on the computer was incorrectly set. I had never heard of anyone blowing any before mine but now i guess i'm not the only one:p

Do u have the coilpack cover off? I'd be leaving that off anyway...

When i had my skyline r33 gts-t i had a splitfire coil catch on fire full flame....

correct me if im wrong but splitfires arent suppose to handle over 22PSI of boost

So when you took them out, there were no cracks etc what you could see to think it was a defect in the manufacturing? Does sound like it could be computer related. Have you got a tuner to have a look at the computer to see if there is any errors going on?
