When talking an engine like yours the term "mob i might try" should never be spoken

Go to someone that knows what he is doing and has a good reputation for this type of work

if I was you I would contact DVSJez and see if he can run it up and tell you what is going wrong

I have his number and to be honest I am farking sick of this shit.

If they tune rich all the time it will be the same again if I give it back to them

I will call him tomorrow

It is quite possible they haven't set the dead times for the ID1300s correctly

But then there is a heap of things that could not be set exactly correct that need to be which is why you need to take it to someone that knows what they are doing and not just the local mechanic

I do not understand, these blokes have been doing this for a long time and have people out there that swear by there work. You would think this would be easy for them to do right in the first place :/

I will not bore you blokes anymore and thanks for your suggestions :)

rockauto is where i got my ls coils

Where do you guys buy your AC Delco D585? Seems like this place has a pretty good deal, http://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-D585-Original-Equipment-Ignition/dp/B000BYD3Y0

http://www.ls2rb.com/buy.html

Goto that link for the supplier who makes them custom coil pack mounting brackets.

Yeah thanks mate

Josh PMed me the link aswell, I'm just making sure i can get everything i need then i will order one or two, so most likely this week

Hi Guys,

Looking at doing this conversion on my SR.. I have found plenty of wiring diagrams so Im pretty sure I can sort it out. BUT if there is a plug and play harness already made by someone I'd be pretty keen to get one.

Also just let me double check, the coils I should be looking to get are D514A? I can get 4 acdelco ones on a bracket etc from ebay for around the $160 mark including plug cables delivered to AUS

As for dwell it seems I should be chasing around the 4ms mark at idle to 3ms top end?

I am running nistune and e85

Edited by RSI497

To summarise the way I understand it;

- D514A are powerful and safe, D585s are powerful (guessing probably more than D514A) but can fire early if you run too much dwell, that is, over 4 ms. Firing early "can lead to major engine damage".

- Genuine coils (AC Delco or Delphi) are more powerful than generics.

I'd guess you'd want maximum dwell at maximum torque, because that's when its going to be hardest to ignite the mixture.

Has anyone on here swapped to the LS2 coils while using a Power FC?

I'm considering the swap and given the difficulty with changing the Power FC dwell settings, am wondering if the D514A coils will work fine on the stock Power FC dwell settings?

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
