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.

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

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
