As title states

just wanna know if i'd need to upgrade my coilpacks for this setup

-7's (18-19psi or so)

540cc sards

wolf v400 ecu

nismo f/pump

3 1/4in exhaust , jjr front pipes, stock dumps

will the standard coils hold up for 290- 310 rwk?

ive searched everywhere but couldnt find my answer.

if anyone has a link would be fantastic.

thx

Standard as new OEM, or standard as 10+ years old as came with the car. If it's the latter, then it's probably more a case that it's a good idea to renew the coil packs anyway. As has been posted many times, aftermarket units are cheaper than OEM.

yeah I wouldn't rush out to buy them up front. see how you go first. if the thing fires ok then you don't need them. if you get ignition break down then coil pack replacement MAY be on the cards (still investigate the other ignition related things like plug type, plug heat range and plug gap first.). always look at the cheap solutions first!

sweet. abit off topic though now. I got the car off the road for all the upgrades, and im going to change the timing belt too. I got a standard nissan belt.

Should i get a gates heavy duty one if i am going to be making 300+rwk or will the standard one do the job?

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
