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

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
