I understand that they have inbuilt ignitors in the coilpacks, and have the signal from the CAS to fire, BUT if you were to use the s1 loom using the EXTERNAL IGNITOR with the s1 coils, will I be able to do this? I can sell the coilpacks, but I'm I want to see if it can be done, the coils are less than 2000km old, it's cheaper If I can go this way and to be honest in my opinion integrated ignitors on coilpacks is a more un reliable set up as it's introducing further heat to a area which is prone to cracking ect ect, it's not so much about $$ but more so using what I have and reliability

Cheers

the connection wont fit. but if you get the ignitor loom, and coil loom you can cut and wire it in manually. a good tuner electrician should be able to do this without any issues.

but you are better off trying to find someone who would be keen to swap the s1 coils for a s2 set.

by the time you wire it all up its going to be better to just sell the coil packs and buy a proper series 2 set.

Cheers guys, I'm not to bad with electrical, I just wasn't sure if the ecu wouldn't read it or if it was throwing out different voltages ect ect, so in saying that I should be able to do it,

Thanks alot, appreciate the help

The ECU sends the same signals out regardless of which coils/igniters are at the other end of the loom. It's just that the wires run direct from the ECU to the coils in the S2 case and have to stop off at the igniter in the S1 case. In the same way, the various igniters don't much care which ECU is telling them to fire, and they also don't much care which coil they're then firing (assuming separate coil and igniter), unless the coil also has an igniter, which is not so good.

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
