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.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
