thats why i went with the D514A along with that if the 585 gets too hot they go to safe mode. or so I read.

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.

D514A cant use the LS2RB/ MojoPerformance

gotta make a different one

Last question I promise... Are you using the www.LS2RB.com coil bracket?
If so, did you have any problems fitting the D514A coil? as I believe that bracket is designed to fit the D585 coil

Thanks mate, I've been in touch with Rick from Mojo Performance and he has informed me that the stock Nissan Dwell setting is around 2.5ms. So I will be fine to run the D585 coil without any risk of premature firing with the standard Power FC settings.

Although you can get a better spark by increasing the dwell slightly, at 2.5ms I will still get better performance than stock or Splitfire coils, so no need to mess with it.

Finally got to install my Mojo Performance GM LS2 Coil RB26 Kit and here is my Dwell Settings. Is my setting too safe?

I switched from Splitfire to LS2 Coils seems like the rev is faster and more responsive

For the love of your engine check the base timing, I did the swap from Splitfires to LS2 truck coils with 3.5ms dwell time and the timing of the coils moved advancing timing by 15deg which lifted the head and made 4 pistons catch the bores, have now gone back to splitfires

So you mean the D585s right? That's some whacky shit. Maybe another reason to stick with the lower power D514a's (assuming the don't do the same thing).

Did you notice any weirdness under 4ms? Maybe this is just the known "D585s go nuts over 4ms dwell" thing.

Yeah D585s, the dwell was set to 3.5ms and at that it advanced timing 15deg, which was tuned around but then they started moving the timing around randomly

I went the D585 because they are COP and much neater conversion then anything else, and now that shit went bad I am finding mine isn't an isolated case and actually becoming a common occurrence with these "smart" coils, info I couldn't find when I researched it before going the setup

It is like they where somehow firing on the rising edge instead off falling edge when they should have been

I am now looking at Audi R8 coils to get the spark I need to run 30psi

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
