I have just built a 25/30 as my old 25 died at just under 400rwkw. I have Haltech E11v2 and am using Splitfire coils. I want to upgrade the ignition and was thinking about a MSD dis4 and mercury marine coils. Will this work with the haltech while running wasted spark?

What would be my best option to work with my ecu?

Why are you running wasted spark? You are decreasing the coil recharge time by 50%.

Run 6 ignition circuits with the Splitfires and it will be fine.

so this would be better??

MSD Digital-6 Plus CD Ignitions

Power, accuracy, and efficiency.

MSD has combined race-winning experience with leading-edge technology to offer these incredible Digital-6 Plus ignitions. The 15 MHz micro-controller can analyze up to 15,000,000 critical instructions per second! That's over three times faster than comparable ignitions. Every spark is packed with 135 millijoules of spark energy and 535 V of power. Built-in features on the MSD Digital-6 Plus ignition include two rotary switch adjustable rev limiters, a single-stage timing retard, a start-up timing retard, an LED fault display, EMI protection, and much more! You get complete combustion for greater power, quicker throttle response, smoother idling, and quicker starts. You always get more power with less current draw.

Surprisingly a dis-6 isnt a 6 channel cdi, its only one channel. To run 6 channel cdi, use a m&w pro-12, or a dis-4 and dis-2. I wouldnt have thought that the coil recharge time would be an issue when running wasted spark cdi, as there really isnt a recharge time. Also he is running an rb25/30 so there arent going to bo massive revs. PS 1jz's run waste spark from the factory and they dont seem to have ignition dramas. So do 4g63's

just get a HKS ignitor box, plenty of jap workshops running the factory coil (or replacement) with the HKS box, works a treat but hasnt really caught on here which i find odd considering its great and uses all the factory gear

i have a set of the haltech high power coilpacks for sale brand new in boxes for $480 (cost $650 new), my tuner reccomended them for over 35psi boost and 700rwhp+, the tuner runs these on his 2jz drag car running high 8's down the track and making 700hp so they are the ones to go for.

give me a PM if your keen

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
