Back again...

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction re:coild pack discussions (Know a lot more now!)

I was wondering if there is a coil pack that is compatible with a R34? If yes or no, is a second hand option worth it, is there a way to test this part for cracks?

Have only been able to find a spitfire coil pack = $895.00+del.

The other option I face is a $5 Epoxy Solution...not sure if it worth the effort if it props up again.

thanks again guys

www.nengun.com sell brand new Splitfire Ignition coils for $583 delivered.

The model number is: SF-DIS-008

The glue will work for a week or 2, it's easier just to cough up the money and be done with it. Been there, done that!

i agree go splitfires. much less hastles i tried getting 2nd handys etc. it was too bloddy hard. changin them all the time. i just got my splitfires delivered today. i got them from perfectrun.com.au for 550 delivered. he got them to me in a 5 days.

Legends, both of you!

I want to make sure that my issues is related to the Ignition coils...what issues did you guys have?

At low revs the engine 'pules' and almost splutters (Mainly at a stop)

Also, could I install these myself? Any hints will help, just don't want to replace them and turns out they are fine (All signs point to yes I think)

Cheers again!

An easy way to find if the coils are your problem is to replace them with some out of a mates car (make sure same model car and engine).

A harder way is to individually take 1 coil out, wrap it in electrical tape, put it back in and take the car for a drive. Keep doing it until the car is driving perfect again and then you'll know exactly which coil(s) are faulty.

If you know how to change your sparkplugs you know how to change the coils. All you have to do is take the center cover off, disconnect the wiring loom from each coil, remove the 2 bolts holding each coil in and swap it with the new coil.

It's about a 20-30min job in total to do everything.

mine sort of spluttered at standstill and misfired from 4-6k rpm everynow and then. I tried everything as i couldnt undertstand why it wasnt happeing all the time i thought if it was the coils it would happen all the time. i tried cleaning the afm re gappping plugs all the way down to 0.5 they were all temporary fixes. my coils finally melted. i melted 4 at the same. so all along it was my coils.

Splitfires are the way to go no more splutering missing etc.

they are very easy to change yourself. just take off the neo cover and the coil cover and remove bolts holding the coils in and swap em.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
