Another Coilpack Question

I found out (searched) that a good way to check faulty coilpack is using multimeter and the reading should be around 0.6 and 0.9 but that's for a RB20DET. Is the reading the same for R33 with RB25DET either with or without ignitors.

Attached is a picture of a Series2 coilpack (hopefully). Three terminals. Which terminals should i use to test?

I used 1&2 and got 1.0 and sometimes a 1.1 on the same coilpack. Is that good or bad?

It seems my coilpack harness isn't spared as well. It's in horrible condition. As soon as i remove the connectors, bits of plastics falls off from inside the connectors. Time to get a new one i guess.

Pretty sure standard should read 1.1-1.3 Andrew

What exactly is the problem your having and have to diagnosed it back to the ignition system???

Looking at that plug you wouldn't be getting a great connection which will/can cause problems so i would change that ASAP and check all your others :D

Problem now is misfiring on idle. According to the workshop, it's connected to my coilpack as it hasn't been changed since 1996. I'm the 2nd owner so the first owner didn't bother to change anything i guess. lol Mileage is over 250k atm.

hi there im new here and this is a bit off topic im sorry. I have an a31 cefiro, has anyone of does anyone know if you can wire in the r32 ignitor into the cefiro harness to be used in wasted spark set up? i cant seem to find any diagrams for the ecu side of both ignitors as the cefiro one is ruined and corroded.. any help would be great thanks.

i had horrible misfiring from my coils and the loom was in really bad shape, my solution was to make up a completely new loom from the ignitor and solder the wire straight to the plugs pins then i cleaned the coil contacts and taped them up.

the tape only lasts 5000-10000ks so next time i plan to use some good quality heat shrink or i might try silicone.

it works well, i don't see the point in wasting 500-600 for spitfires sure i agree that it will give you a better spark but meh its a 20 year old $8k r32 why bother.

      Pipe from Greddy FMIC to Greddy intake manifold (RB25)?

      By jacobzking · Posted

      Does anyone sell a pipe that's made to go from the Greddy FMIC kit for ECR33 (RB25DET) to the Greddy intake manifold?

      Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?

      Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
