I haven't had an issue with my stock VQ coils at 40psi, there is obviously something wrong with your setup if you can't run more than 21...

Are you running a wideband? Most likely the mixture is just too rich and it's flooding under boost. Otherwise, drop a set of VQ coils in there. :P

I can't see why not, might need a little modification. I can test one out on the 34 here if you like, and see how it fits...

You may need to adjust the dwell from RB specs, not sure what mine is running though.

That would be a great investigative pursuit haha!

I fitted a VQ coil to the Neo 25 today, the loom plugs straight in (not sure the pins are the same yet.) and the lower section can be swapped to some extent, although the 34 lower insulator is larger where it joins to the coil. No big deal fitting them I suspect.

A bracket wouldn't be too hard by the looks of it either.

I too noticed the loom plugs looked about right. So in theory they should work by the sounds of it, though your in the best position to find out haha.

Have been doing some searching for info on dwell time etc, with little luck. Must be hard owning one, as there is little about them.

There is so much more information around on VQ25det's now, compared to when I got the Stagea 6 years ago, mainly due to my own r+d. :P

I have the workshop manual, and have translated the ecu pinout diagram, so the plug pinouts are easy to check. Other than that they should drop in using the lower insulator of the rb coil, perhaps with a cable tie or similar around the upper section.

Maybe mate the two insulators together rb lower to fitt the head and upper vq to fit the coilpack.

Other than that, grab some toyota pencil denso coils (from a 1z-zfe?? or similar). Built-in ignitors and the supra guys swear by them.

1ZZ-fbe is the engine you want. :P

VQ coils have built in ignitor also.

If these plug straight in, it's a no brainer. The only time I have had misfire is when the mixture was under 10:1 on ethanol and it wouldn't ignite well due to the plugs being wet.

Hey everyone.

What is the most powerful bosch coil you can get? (Part number)

Currently running 717's and on e85 I'm losing spark over 21 psi.

Don't have the cash for big money ignition at the moment just want a cheap upgrade so I can bump the boost up a couple more psi.

What plug gap are you running? I had a miss at 0.8 so went down to 0.65 and all good.

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
