Just would like to know if ppl still using spiltfire coil packs or what is better?

I started to get miss after 7krpm install a hks twin power (helped) then the miss came back after a few weeks, does it all time same

Rpm range. New plugs fitted and gapped to .8 and spiltfire coils about 6 yrs old and about 30,000kms on them. All brand new engine harnesses...also boost is about 22-23psi

E85 or?

What plugs and heat range are you running?

Was it OK for a while and just started or has it been happing from the start?

Have you checked the Spitfires for arcing?

Is it missing when hot?

use copper plugs at 8 heat range from memory, Check coils, make sure your alternator is pumping out decent amperage, flog hks twin spark off and buy Morris tech igniter

Ditch that pos pretty gold HKS box.

For those of us that missed the bulletin what is wrong with the HKS DLI II ?

That and it's more expansive and harder to get then the Morris tech ignitor

Paul's making 480rwkw with no more then spitfires and a Morris tec ignitor.. I'd be right in assuming that the plugs are copper, heat range 8 gapped at .8 (I may have put the last set in?)

This business of reducing the gap of the plug down to nothing and reducing spark size is a bandaid fix and simply ridiculous

I can't tell you how but I had a new set of OEM and a set of split fires both kick the bucket within 3-4k kms. Ditch the lot and it's all good.

Joey had issues at 400 rwkw, put the ignitor on and done.

I've sent a few of these around the country and on every car the ignition issues disappeared.

I know of at least 8 GTRs with 500awkw+

3 GTRs with over 600awkw

3 GTSTs with over 500rwkw

All with Splitfires and NGK copper plugs. Plug gap is critical and all plugs must be spot. The difference between a .6 and a .65 gap is noticeable when you start going cranking the boost.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
