I already have a microtech lt12s ecu, but im having ignition problems.

i will be running six coils and im looking at getting a microtech x6 ignition module to replace the standard one.

apparently they can handle more dwell.

all up the coils are $300 with mounting brackets and the ignition module is $150.

so both are still cheaper then splitfires..

$50 cheaper...

to bring in another element of questional reliability and so on (when factory/replacement factory is beyond adequate), its not worth it for $50-$100

So you are saying to get splitfire or stay standard??

my reliability is out the window at the moment with the setup i have so i need to try something hey..

not bullshit at all.

when you change something from factory (thats worked fine for 20 years), you bring in another element to track down, makes things harder to look for etc.

The more stock the car, the easier to diagnose common problems.

When you've changed everything but the kitchen sink it makes it harder.

My car uses more stock parts than ever before (when i had a RB25) and troubleshooting now is a piece of piss

No that's not what its like saying at all.

You can change what's needed to achieve a goal, however changing something that isnt needed, serves little to no purpose which is whats going on here altering from the factory setup

Why are you having ignition proplem's thou???

Go to the main power feed wire for your coil's, (will be white or white/black) see what voltage you have on idle, then rev the engine up, as your alternator charges up to 13-14 volt's, see if you get the same reading at your main coil feed wire??

I bet you dont, which mean's on full load, your getting voltage drop, and your coil's are breaking down...

Try it.

i tested the feed + wire earlier before reading this but i didn't test it while it was running.

I'm getting 12.2 volts with the ignition on but not running and the battery measures 12.4 volts.

I'l test what you said soon and post my results.

thanks for the help.

i also changed my spark plugs again and removed some fuel from the tune when off boost

i think it's an over fueling issue also compounding the problem.

but i dont have a exhaust sniffer (air/fuel) meter so i'm a bit cautious of leaning it out.

Well thats .2 of a volt lose with ignition ON, wait till you rev it up then if you loose more than 1volt, imagon that on full load, you would end up loosing 3-4 volt's to your coil's, there is your ignition break down, not the coil's fault.

Hope that help's you out.

Goodluck.

    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...  
    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
