Hi everyone.

So I'm having an issue with one of my coil packs, I found one of them blow out (pack 4)so I replaced them all, they are not the best of the best coil packs, I only paid $220 for 6 of them, anyway I replaced them an now the same one (pack 4) has blow again, Iv checked how much power each pack is getting thinking it could have been the harness but that seams to be good, just seeing if anyone has had the same issue or might know what the problem could be, thanks.

The picture is of the first coil pack I took out that was blown an the second one did the same thing.

How likely could it be the timing of the dwell on the ecu to keep stuffing up that 4th pack?

The dwell is the same on all six though, right? Higher dwell will run them hotter, so you would expect that to reduce their life, but I would expect that worst case it would just kill the primary coil, which would then become an open or short circuit. That big chunk out of the side is some weird shit.

Do you have an aftermarket ECU?

I'm not sure if the dwell is the same for all six, how would I find that out?

Iv only had the car for three or so months now an it does need a tune..

Can the dwell affect just one pack? Maybe it's too high on pack 4 an keeps burning it out?

An I'm running a 6860 ecu

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
