Well Paul, I'm a bit dirty on Yellow Jackets at the moment because I just had a set fitted to my modified, series 2 Stagea RSFour S and then went to Wakefield to do a supersprint last Sunday week. The car went like a dream on the way down but I didn't even complete one lap before one of the new coilpacks died and the car was on 5 cylinders.

I limped home, having wasted $195 entry fee and the petrol to get there. The next day I went back to the workshop (O2 Autosport at South Nowra) who confirmed the coilpack problem and ordered a replacement under warranty. As of last Friday the replacement still hadn't arrived.

So yes, I would test your new series of coil pack but how about compensating me for the loss I incurred because of your faulty one?

At least getting a replacement to O2 Autosport would be nice...

Hope I hear something back from you,

Paul Merry

Hi Paul,

The testing stage has been completed and these have been in circulation for around 6 months now but thanks very much for your offer.

I have been in constant contact with Geoff from 02 Autosports regarding the Faulty coil. I sent a replacement to them the same day they contacted me and it should have arrived by Wednesday or Thursday of last week. I recommend they check at their local post office as it is probably sitting their, awaiting collection.

I myself am also still waiting for 02 to send me the faulty coil pack, which they have not done so as yet, nor have they confirmed that they will be doing so either. I have asked them a couple of times but they havent confirmed that they will send it back to me at all.

This is the first instance I have had with the NEO coil packs and Id like to get this faulty one back so we can figure out what went wrong.

Ive also sold around 70 sets since we released them late last year with 0 return rate due to failure.

Thats over 400 individual coil packs and yours is the first to have any issues.

Im sorry that this has happened and I am doing what I can to rectify this situation and so far, I have more than honored the warranty by sending the replacement (even without ever seeing the faulty one) but I also need 02's co-operation here.

I trust you understand and Im sure this issue will be sorted out shortly.

Regards,

Paul.

i'd just like to point out that mine are still going strong. and they probably see more of a hard time then most would! RB25 neo, E85, GTX3076, 1.4 bar, 350ish rwkw and not a single missfire ever. used in my competition drift car and have done many track days on them.

Thats Awesome. I always like hearing good feedback about the coils. Im glad they are looking after you. :cheers:

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
