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.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
