Hey guys just wondering has anyone used these coils on big power GTRs. Looking to upgrade ignition system & came across these coils thru the net AEM Smart coils. Need to know if these things will handle 35 plus

Other than that thinking about LS2 Truck coils. Need to know the ins & outs of the 2 looked over the net but cant seem to find anything thats states these things can handle the boost without breaking down.

Regrds,

I looked at these and was pretty keen on them. But their physical size is a problem. They were too big for where I wanted to put them on the firewall.

I ended up going with LS2 truck coils. I havnt tested them yet as the car is a long way off. But from what I've heard / read. They will handle a lot of boost.

They have been used on 1100kW setups.

I've read on a few ecu forums about people having issues trying to get the ls2 truck coils to fire on cranking. There's something to do with the "smart" part of them causing issues with the dwell at low rpm. Has anyone else heard of this? I'm currently running ls2 car coils on my car and never had a single issue but always curious about the truck version

we only use the truck versions and never had an issue.

      Rusty roof repair

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
