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.

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
