Plug Gaps And Splitfires

[boostn32]

i would be very interested in the out come of the bosch coil packs, if all works fine i will do the same, just not sure on the wiring. would be interested in how to wire these up.

Wiring is easy in a S2 skyline due to the built in ignightor.....

But location of the coil packs will be more interesting as i have that much crap under the bonnet....

I dont want to run huge leads either due to vd (voltage drop) but yeah i have ordered the parts and will try....

i'm having the usual miss at 4500-5000, and should be fitting my splitfires this weekend. will see how they go.

OK,

A while ago I changed my platinum plugs PFR5G-11 to coppers BCPR6ES and the car ran like shit. So I changed back and it was fine ago. Could this have been to the different gaps, heat ratings or both?

ah col i have a r32 rb20

Well its a different kettle of fish as you have ignightor pack at the rear of your tappet cover.... But still easily do able.... You just need coils to suit.... On the down side the non-ignightor coils are more dollars....

Ill let you know how i go

If your after external coils have a gander at this site. A Kiwi is selling kits for RB engines

I read the whole website... Looks like a great money spinner for him as he has a number of project cars.... Good on him..... However its not an upgrade is just a replacement alternative....

Also the coil packs he uses need an ignightor so wont souit S2 skyline with out extras....

So not suitable for me personally....

Good luck with the remote set up Col.

Personally, I am throwing mine in the bin and getting some splitfires.

Mine is on an RB20 so seperate ignitors but its been nothing but grief all the same. The coils used were three doubles I beleive are standard fitment on the VN holden with some Bosch ignitors.

No word of a lie it has failed on me minimum 8 times and the car is sitting in the garage now with yet another melted coil pack. First two times I thought it was the tuner but it has been looked at by other mechanics , auto elecs ( rewired twice) and reps for Autronic and it just keeps on melting. Also spoke to somebody in NSW with identical engine and setup who had the identical problem and also threw it away.

At the end of the day it might still be a problem that nobody has picked up on or it might just be the coil packs themselves are hopeless but I just have had enough.

I honestly hope you can get yours to run without hiccup and if I can share any advice it would be to be wary of mounting position in relation to heat. Also dont get the whiz bang leads first up, get cheap ones that are longer than you need and use zip ties to mount the coils as you will find you will probably move them around.
