I have an R32 GTR - with the basic mods - pulling ~300awkw @ 18psi running R34 n1s

I'm having some problems with ignition break down (old coil packs) - so I plan to upgrade to Splitfire coils ASAP

I just wanted to know if anyone has used the new HKS Twin Power (CDI+Transistor) system

available from nengun

does this look like a work while upgrade

Just bumping an old thread :(

Is there any real benefit from having a bigger spark on an engine? I thought it would mean a better burn of the petrol, and the ability to run a larger plug gap?

Surely there must be some benefits?

Is anyone running one, and have they noticed any differences?

edit - found an old post from SK

we use the standard coils up to 650 bhp (400 rwkw), no problems, with plug gaps at 0.8 mm. For over 700 bhp we use the Motec CDI unit with Mercury Outboard coils as they are designed to be used with CDI.

BTW, CDI is not an amplifier of the spark, it provides a multiple firing of the coil for each ignition, not one, single, long spark as is standard (non CDI). Consequently you need a coil that is specifically designed to be fired in multiples, very rapidly.

So CDI with standard coils is pretty much a waste of money and if you are under 650 bhp I wouldn't worry about changing from the standard setup anyway, provided it is in good condition of course.

Hope that helps

Are you saying the hks cdi system is a waste of money with splitfires on r32gtst SK?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
