Hi all! I think i will go down the CDI route. Autronic sm4 with Cdi 500r to be exact. And i was wondering what would be the prettiest way to mount them in a BNR32? i would still like to use the RB26 coil pack cover to have a more stealthy and cleaner look. Is this still possible? I have purchased some LS1 coils which i got cheaply. Is there some way i could mount these (in a cradle etc) and still have it aesthetically pleasing? Where can i get a cradle for the coils? where should the cradle be mounted? is there a way around this? I guess the coil pack cover isnt essential, but id just like to keep it if i can. If anyone has pics of their setups, could you please share them with me?

cheers

chris

ls1 coils will explode. they have interal igniters.

i have spent ages trying to find a propper "cdi" spec coil for my autronic. i have been using s4 13b 2 post coils. the 1ggze 2 post ones are good to, aswell as gto tt cols.

i dont like the idea of running 2 coils in parallel for waste spark. each coil will be getting halve the energy. but it has been made to work well with the factory 26 coils.

for cdi you want the lowest inductance coil you can find. higher inductance makes good spark in normal transistor ignition, but for cdi they take to long to saturate. they work but not ideal.

motobike coils are the gun thing but ive yet to test any.

in your case id just use the factory coils wired in parallel.

having said all that, i can get a 3" spark from my mazda/denso 13b coils. but they are really big.

Mercury marine coils are the go for a CDI system (the same coil used on a 2.5 2 stroke mercury outboard). Have used them on another car that i have built with good success. These are the coils recomended by MoTec for their CDI8 ignition system. Will have to enquire about costing for you. I will be able to make a nice neat mount for you in keeping with the quality of the rest of the build. But if anyone has picks of their mouning set up would still be interesting to see how other people would approach it.

The ls2/yukon coils would have been a better choice. Check for on google I guess, these are a couple I found.

A few references on how you could set them up. :)

they have inbuilt ignitors and will go pop/bang with CDI.

Yeah no sh$%, that was in reference to his ls1 coils and how he could mount them. He pbly could have just used the ls2/yukon truck coils without going cdi as it's 3 times more powerful according to data all over the net.

the heat treatment's car gtr ran the mercury's with a boot ontop of the plugs and a rod through the hole in the coil's

i paid around $70 each for mine

I use Splitfire with the CBI500R and still had no problem (misfire or start up) with E85 and 2bars of boost.

How much boost are you planning to run mate?

The more you deviate from a stock setup the harder it will be to diagnose problem when it arise.

My Splitfires are 7 years old now, so I need to buy coil packs either way. I'm also going to run vipec xps- cdi unit. If I'm buying coil packs anyway, I might as well get coil packs designed for cdi...

I'm planning to run 25psi and upto 250hp worth of nitrous, so I need a gooood ignition system.

cheers

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
