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

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?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
