Is there a preference as to which type of stock coil to use on a modded RB26 engine? I have early RB25 coils with internal amplifiers, are they just as "powerful" as the coils with the separate amplifier? Thanks.

Do you mean the ignition power transister? If thats the case, then the coils are basically the same strength, onlt one uses an internal and the other an external. Early rb25's(up to s2 r33)have external. The only thing is the late coils are newer so are morelikely to be in better condition.

Ye, basically not much difference.

Either way, good condition coils are good for 400rwkw without a drama, plenty of people have done it.

If your running out of spark - HKS DLI + stock coils (or splitfires). Easy.

Engine should make 600 flywheel HP (looking for an endurance spec, all steel on 2860-10's, running Motec M800 ECU. I have a set of known good coils with built in amplifiers from my RB25 engine and was hoping to use those. I believe the Motec will trigger them directly. Thanks for the replies.

    • 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.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
