some background info to the problem:

i currently have sII coils (amp. inside coil) installed on my RB25, but nr.6 has blown...

since sII coils seen to be generally bad (dont start a discussion plz), i now want to replace with coils from the RB26 which has the amp. externally...

i have an ign.amp. from a sI RB25 lying around in my garage...

the two questions resulting would be:

1) will the RB26 coils be compatible with my currently installed wiring/plugs from the sII RB25 setup?

2) will the RB25 ign. amp. be able to work with the RB26 coils?

:devil:

Have you considered Splitfires?

Bing a hotly discussed topic of late, for $600 and 30mins labour (yourself) its almost hard to beat bang for the buck.

Reason being you could well encounter the same problem with the RB26 coil and then you are back to square one, and none the better off financially.

There are things like removing the centre cover etc to aid the coils in some cooling (regardless of coil used)

ps. SII coils are fine. I ran 330rwkw through mine for 6 months solid. 270rwkw before that.

cheers.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
