3 hours is a hell of a time estimate for changing a set of coil packs - 3 hours! It might take that long if you did the whole job with your tongue.

About 20mins if that.

$100?! to change coilpacks jeez some mechanic

splitfire coilpacks sit ontop of your sparkplugs.

Just take off the cover in the middle of your engine bay, pull out the black coilpacks and replace with the new blue ones.

Only issue is just moving the cross-over pipe but thats no trouble at all

This is where i got the 3hr estimate, but i have a feeling that part where hes holding the Smirnoff may have impacted the time taken!

if I can do it with my shagged knees, 2m tall bending over bonnet, then anyone can

do it yourself, beer and cone break, and it'll be sweet

worth putting on too, nice product the Splitfires

It is a good 1 and half hours with 34's as i have already had to do it twice.

It is easy, just take yourtime and you will be fine.

Cross over pipe and everything has to come off you will see. A job worth doing but a pain in the behind. lol

The cross-over pipe does add a few extra minutes - my original 20min estimate didn't account for the cross-over pipe as I no longer have to deal with one. Just one of the bonuses of a forward facing plenum. However, I still think removing the coil packs and replacing them is a simple 20-30min job.

If I had never done it before and was using this thread for assistance, it would probably take me an extra 5mins.... spent watching rad32's avatar.

hope ur splitfires r good mate!! ENJOY!!! :P

was a pleasure helping u out and great bloke!

Big up to u mate,

thanx again for not only a speedy & efficient job but also meeting one of many top South Aussies from the forum :P

  • 2 weeks later...
How much did you pay for your Spit Fires, and where from?

I'll be after a set soon, mine are starting to breakdown and i cbf trying to patch them up.

Access Autoworx in the trader section, think it was $520 delivered...wont find it cheaper trust me!

EDIT- Due to crappy yen & markets they're now $615, boy im glad i bought them 2weeks ago :D

Edited by YDUTRY4

yep and last night i sent him a pm saying i want some for $520 before he raised the price. (must of changed it as soon as i said i want them) then now he didnt reply back to my pm and has changed the price.

will leave bad trader rating.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
