My coils packs are on the way out and looking to buy some. Just wondering what people think, should i get spit fires or original OEM coil packs.

Also has anyone used a brand called yellow jackets. I believe they sell the cheapest aftermarket coil packs at the moment i think.

http://www.performance-wise.com/page2.htm

Please give me your opinion on these coil packs if you have used them.

Or'

Any other brand coil packs and where to get them cheap. I dont use the car on the race track i drive it as a daily so only a hammer here and there.

Also I am still a student so i am i trying to budget my part time job with maintenance on the car its, hard.

Don't mean to be rude to anyone just don't give me the comment PLEASE

"A cheap show off with nice car"

Had someone say that to me in my face before and I punch him out.

So sorry if i am being rude or offend anyone.

ive got the yellow jackets. been in my car for quite a few months now. no problem at all. running 13-14 psi with a 1mm gap. they worked fine on the 1.1mm gap before my last plug change too.

a lot of people are using these, and i've only heard good feedback on them.

+1 for splitfires

Yellow jackets are probably good but really depends

havent been out long enough to know they last, but then again they havent been out long enough to prove they arent better then others

you can get proven results with splitfires, or get the yellow jackets and be unsure how long they will last.

Also got splitfires not too long ago, no dramas at all. If your after some cheap replacements ive still got my stock set, nothing wrong with them. I changed them thinking mine were stuffed but it was my ECU.

I bought a fresh set of Yellow Jackets about a month ago for my RB25DET Neo and they're going great. Very quick delivery too. For long term performance ask me again in a year's time :)

I reckon a new set of pretty much any coils should be fine. Whatever you do don't buy any second hand OEMs, the only place they should go in is the bin...

A che... lol j/k!

Uhm, i've only heard good things about the yellow jackets and with split fires...well i think everyone knows they're one of the best.

I myself am running the JJR ones but i do know a few people on this 'ere forum have had issues with JJR ones before but justjap have pretty good customer service and will look after you. I only got jjr ones because i got them REALLY cheap. For me, they are performing great - certainly much better than the old set which was a nice set of FETs but getting really old and breaking down.

stock coil packs are the best you can get, as long as you can get them new

the only reason they are mainly no good is because they are to old and have worn out due to heat in the engine bay

absoloutly nothing wrong with good condition stock coils. But there expensive as hell to buy brand new

I had nothing but trouble with various series 2 coilpacks and blowout so I upgraded to LS2 coilpacks. Much better ignition for about the same price.

Yeah the whole coil pack setup is definitely a weak link of the RB design. In the past 6 months I've been tearing out coil packs (and my hair) from my NEO like there's no tomorrow. In 4+ years with the LS1 I never even knew it had coil packs :blink:

  • 2 weeks later...

Been using a set of Yellow Jackets on both my RB20 set up and RB25 set up for about a year now...

They have been good at 2bar and 300rwkw with a 0.7mm gap on the RB20

They started to break down at 0.8mm with 1.6bar running in the RB25, now gapped at 0.6mm and are fine for 385rwkw

Apparently the Nissan ones are very cheap shipped from the USA but if you can't find them Yellow Jackets so far so good :)

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
