CATKICKER Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Hey Guys, I am after a set of coilpacks to suit an RB20det. Mine have started misfiring again and I want some to replace them. They must be working fine and not failing under boost!!! Let me know if have or know of any for sale! Thanks!

frigjam Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 generally coilpacks fail altogether or fail intermittantly (ie randomly the car runs on 5cyl because an ignition coil drops out) rather than misfire, are you sure its not something else closely related? i have some, how many you after? definitely have redtop rb20det ones handy, not 100% sure where the silvertop ones are. electrically the same but redtop 20's have a different input plug.

It has happened a few times now and each time I tried a different meathod of repair. 1. Placing nitto tape over them to cover the cracks (not that I could see any) - Fixed for about 2 weeks 2. Painted with resin - fixed for about 2 months 3. Painted with areldite - fixed for the last 4 or so months I had to problem one other time after GMB borrowed my ignighter to troubleshoot and must not have connected it back up corrctly but once I reconnected the plugs it went perfectly! I have tried this again and it is not the problem... it happens all of a sudden and then doesn't go away until I fix. Mind you my car has been around the block a few times so it could do with some with a few less km's! Also, now that I have repaired them (band aid fixed) so many times they are now a few mm bigger so unless I sand them back, I can't really do it again... (might do it anyway once I get new ones just for spares!) Thanks for the offer of the red top ones, I will holla if I need them!

CATKICKER Posted June 1, 2006 Author Share Posted June 1, 2006 Hey B, I would really appreciate that if you are sure! (I will do the removing and refitting of course!!) I am 95% sure that is what it is but if it is something else then it would be worth while the hours or 2 of testing!
