Will be placing Splitfire DI coilpacks in my R34 GTT on Monday (04/04/05). Just looking for info on re-gapping my spark plugs to suit. With the addition of the Splitfires I’d like to take full advantage of any available power/torque gains. As far as I know, a new gap of 0.9 should be okay, i.e. not to wide to provoke misfire yet wide enough to get a bigger spark and see some kw gains.

At the moment my plug gap is somewhere between 0.6 or 0.7. My plugs are NGK double platinum and in pretty good condition last checked. I’m running stock boost (8 – 9 psi) with mods as listed below:

- 3” turbo back exhaust

- Apexi Pod filter

- HKS SSQ BOV

If anyone has any experience here let me know if I’m on the right track.

mine gapping is around .8

i dont have any splitfires, but i might have to change too a set soon.

My stock ones are dying i think and the splitfires are just cheaper.

no mention of gap changing when i was discussing with my car workshop. :rofl:

Cheers for the advice, I'll take it to the workshop tomorrow. Should post results of installation late Monday. Keen to see how Splitfires stack up.

Digging this up, my bad -

But I just received my Splitfires last night for my GTT and noticed the instructions said some ignition knocking could occur?

Anyone experienced this or have any pro tips for installation? I was reccomended to gap my plugs back to standard, currently 0.

How did you go mate?

Yup. Had Splitfires on an RB20 running 14 psi on std turbo. Std plug gap. Have Splitfires on 25Neo running 12 psi on std turbo. Std plug gap. You wouldn't expect to have to gap plugs down under such limited increases in demand on the ignition system when running coils that are at least as good as the stockers.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
