my old R33 GTS-T had misfiring issues from day one... could not even cope with 180rwkw... Splitfires were the fix for it...

my current car R33 GTR is now putting out 270kw at the wheels with the standard coilpacks... no spark issues at all

"if it aint broke, dont fix it"

There is a shortage of hard evidence on coilpacks.

The stockers have the track record.

Splitfires are getting a track record over a few years now.

I have bought a set of Yellowjackets on the basis of bench tests i have seen but they still have to prove the lasting qualities.

The red ones appear to be lesser quality but again time will tell.

I had a similar issue ~ 18psi (250rwkw mark) and the new coil packs resolved the problem.

Running 18psi initially was ok on the original coil packs, replaced spark plugs, tried the silicone coating which helped slightly but the misfire came back.

Ended up buying the yellow jackets and the problem has gone. When I get new spark plugs I'll buy the ones gapped at 1.1mm (against 0.8mm) now and see if the spark still holds.

Last post in here covered it

Well I dunno what your car setup is, but usually when a person runs an atmo bov on a stock ECU it will run a bit richer on gear change and cause a bit of a pop/backfire through the exhaust.

whats the silicone method? smear house grade silicone around what part of the coil? what are the first signs of missfire on a 25det with only breathing mods that runs std boost?

first signs of a missfire would probably be the missfiring, under max boost between 3-5k rpm, or randomly cutting out and having popping sounds like a wrx until you either turn the engine off or it fixes itself. ive had both.

i was trying to find the coilpack silicon-ing diy but didnt manage it, same principle as these

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
