I have read a lot of things about the Splitfire coilpacks and they seem to be the go for replacement as mine are starting to die under boost. But i heard people only buying the splitfires because the OEM ones were too expensive.

But it seems the OEM ones are 90$ each which ends up cheaper than the splitfires, would you guys recommend them over the splitfires ? Say for higher than stock power running 20psi boost, or is the splitfires better for non stock skyline.

Also i read that these clamps were good but i cannot remember where i read it from, worth the 50$ for 10 ?

I got some brand new OEM coils for about $500 a set and am running them at 20psi soon to go to 25 psi. Someone said there are some fake OEM around but mine seem fine (bought them off an Aussie on Ebay).

Have you verified theres a problem with the coilpacks? If its an assumption, start with plugs first because there a lot cheaper and you already have good coilpacks. What gap are u running? More boost means smaller gap.

These are from Kudos so i trust they wont stock fake ones!

I change my plugs every 5000kms and use copper plugs gapped at 0.8mm. Quiete often when i gun it and it revs in the highs like 4500+ the car will just die for a second.

And my coilpacks seem original with my 100k+ kms and they have been siliconed in the past.

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
