Best Rb25 Neo Ignition Setup?

Hi guys,

I wondered if anybody had an opinion on the best ignition setup for an RB25DET neo currently running circa 500hp but I'm about to start pushing for 650 at the wheels. At the moment I'm running standard coil packs, 8 grade plugs. It seems to be blowing out the spark in 5th gear at full boost (1.4 bar on a GT3076r)

Splitfires are an obvious choice, but what is everybody else running?

Cheers

Chris

grab a set of falcon coils in wasted spark

Is there any advantage in wasted spark ion an RB? I know some engines like it more than others.

Have a search on ebay.au - there were some brand new OEM nissan coils going for the same price or less than Splitfires.

I wouldnt use these ebay nissan coils. Had a customer use

Some. Was going good till we got to 18psi and one of the coils split in half.

They had nissan logo's and looked genuine but didnt last a dyno session

grab a set of falcon coils in wasted spark

these are cheap and better then AU packs. need 3 of them

http://www.msdignition.com/Products/Coils/Stock_Replacement/8224_-_GM_Coil_Pack,_2_Tower_Style.aspx

search the part number on ebay

Both these need ignitors

best off with LS1 coils if you dont want to use splitfires etc

Are you sure that turbo is capable of pushing that much HP at the wheels?

It's only meant to be able to push 550hp at the flywheel on paper.

This is what I'm wondering.

If he is not upgrading turbo, then Splitfires will more than handle the task for a GT3076 as they are only ever going to push 300rwkw (400rwhp) on PUMP.

Hell Splitfires will do 400rwkw (545rwhp) as many have before. Well beyond what a GT3076 will ever make.

But... To go to 485rwkw (650rwhp), you'd be putting a very sizeable turbo on there, so big you would not be even mentioning anything based on stock ignition at that level.

The turbo is currently running 500hp at 1.4 bar. I'll wind this up as far as we can go then swap it out for a new GTX series Garrett or BW equivalent.

Say I was shooting for 600 rwhp, what do you recommend in terms of:

-plugs

-coil packs

-leads?

Thanks

Chris

500hp or 500rwhp?

There is no way a GT3076 will make 500rwhp (in Aus terms). So 600rwhp is most certainly out of the question.

600rwhp is not outside the Splitfire possibilities, the upper end of it though realistically.

Given you'll need at least a GTX35, and easily 25psi+ to get there and given that you'll need good spark.

What ECU are you using?

As far as an inductive ignition system goes the ls2 coils are very good and cheap too - they are not obviously not coil on plug though. The other option is the ford xr6t coils which are also very good and cheap. I've run 1mm plug gap with a 2jz and 2.3bar boost with the xr6t coils.

The engine is (was, as it's currently on it's way out of the car) running 498.9 fwhp, mapped on a Link G4 plug and play with a 5 bar map sensor - tested on a Dyno Dynamics rig. I set the atmospherics myself and placed the IAT sensor, so i know it's right. The GT3076R won't push 500rwhp, you're right. But as i said in my previous post, i'm currently on the journey for 600rwhp and need to upgrade the ignition system anyway - so want something that's fit for purpose.

Hi Chris,

Can you please confirm what your definition of "fwhp". I assume you mean flywheel horsepower (bhp) and not front wheel horsepower? :D I prefer to use wheel horsepower (whp) or brake horsepower (bhp). Also you say it was measured on a Dyno Dynamics (wheel) dyno. How does the dyno calculate "fwhp" when it measures tractive effort, wheel speed and weather conditions only? Is the engine speed also measured by the dyno? Could you upload an image of your dyno printout? Pictures speak 1000 words.

Sincerely David.

In the UK they mostly state power at the flywheel and in HP.

This looks much bigger than RKW,

So 498.9FWHP (GOSH) might translate into a more reasonable 300 RKW (rough guestimate)

Also what do you guys mean by introducing wasted spark?

Why would using other coils change anything to the ignition pattern?

Clearly the ignition pulse for the coils remains the same ...

(just wondering)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
