Yeah and it ended up in the creek :devil: .... saw it down at Mantas last week.

I hope this vehicle description is not right - if it is an original (and worth mega $$$) why would you rally it? :P

Negative on the Power FC, Andrew.

I don't understand.

Im fairly sure my #6 coilpacks is stuffed, hence why im changing coilpacks. Once the engine gets warm..after 10 minutes, it breaks into 5 cylinders, and make's WRX owners envious of my engine.

However, tonight, i did not have an issue at all..drove for about 40 minutes, except for this problem of it limiting itself to 4500rpm.

I'm going to have to assume it has something to do with the coilpacks, as the problem has just 'magically' disappeared, but this new problem has come about.

AFM wouldnt be knackered, it would be obvious there was earlier im the rev range i would think?

i dunno what coilpacks u need but i got around 6 here that are 2nd hand for the rb26 - i know a couple are buggered but u should be able to use one of them if theyre compatible with ur engine/ecu setup

If the redtop RB20 uses the same coilpacks as the silvertop RB20 it should be fine.

Was originally going to go with Yellow Jacket coilpacks, from their website $350 for all 6, a pretty nice price, whilst Splitfire were after $700.

Ended up talking to Decs at Garage 7 on Monday night about the problem im having, so he's going to whip up an "AU Folcon Coilpack Conversion' setup, so basically the 'hub' for my coilpack leads will instead of being on the Valley Cover, will be on the firewall.

He's done it for a few of his customers, and all have reported no problems.

Plus, even though i don't want to cheapen out on stuff with this car..i can get it cheaper then $350, plus i like supporting small business.

Thanks for your offers guys, hopefully i get it running properly by mid next week, then on to the tune, hoping like crazy for at least 180kw. Cmon redtop!

To me that's over-complicating a simple solution to a simple problem. I know others will disagree but if it were me I'd just get the Yellow Jackets, straight bolt in, no fuss, no extra looms going anywhere and doesn't look sus. Neat and simple

+1 neat and simple is what you want

I know what you are saying there Heslo and Jenkies, why complicate one small thing.

Kinda having that debate with myself at the moment.

Still undecided, and i havn't actually said "yep, lets do it". So im just mulling it over.

Car won't make any power levels needed to max out the coilpacks from Yellow Jacket anyway... hmm.

lol was mucking around.... but we do live in adelaide :ermm:

on a completely other random note.. after unloading a 40 foot container of water features and unpacking, all day, 9 hours.. i can safely say if i dont get my baby back by friday im gonna convert to the crazy side..

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
