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 hunk of junk cost me two sets of coils. Ditched it along with the factory and used the above mentioned ignitor and issues disappeared.

The factory ignitor is an electrical bottle neck.

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.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
