HKS DLI and td coil packs 1000hp no issues, we know they work.... but they aint going to fix a car with other issues.

We had endless dramas with another car over 22psi and even a new set of splitfires did not work.... fitted new std itmes and the HKS unit and bang just shy of 500kw no missfires at all... removed hks unit and it misfired refitted it all good.... proof enough for me.

Get yourself a good 30A plus fused automotive relay and cut the +12V supply to the coils and connect it to a relay on pin 87. Run a high current wire from your alternator terminal and connect it to pin 30 on the relay. Ground pin 86, and connect pin 85 to where the coils used to get their +12V from (the loom). This allows much more current flow at the coil as there is less voltage drop across the length of the wiring in the loom.

Thanks for that very good instruction :-)! I will modify this weekend!

But one Question I have: I run the R33 series 1 GTST with the amplifier (not supplied from HKS twin power ignition systems). Have I to set the relay after or before that amplifier. I think before - right?

Thanks and best regards from Germany

After Vik. The main goal is to supply power to the coils. The ignitor module operates from earth to the +5v signal supplied to the unit from the ecu (when the coils are fired).

There should be 6 inputs and 6 outputs, plus a single earth. The conneciton for that earth is the next most important thing. Always make sure that earth is good, and solidly bolted to the engine, and adding a 2nd earth strap from the chassis to the engine or gearbox isnt a bad idea too.

I often had issues with fouling plugs before fitting a twin power as previously stated. But since i fitted the MoTeC ive removed the twin power and i haven't had any fouling or misfire issues, even at 11,000+rpm 40psi.

Changed to a different trigger set-up though so that may have something to do with it and the car had a Power FC ecu in it when it was having issues.

Weird :P

Paul, what ignition are you running with te motec? standard coil set-up? I've got a motec in my new 32 and been thinking a bit about ignition lately.

i was looking for a post like this, basically i should run 1.1 mm gap on my new plugs copper ngk bkr7e, i got a haltech ecu and holset hx35 with meth, and more gap is better

    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.  
    • Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 馃槀馃槀 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
    • A pretty cool little feature discovered while restoring my seats.     
    • Great write ups / details / photos. I'm sort of on the road to E90 ownership (325i or 330i), haven't hit the fork in the road yet "Yes" | "No", and some of the issues you've faced have me nervous for the age these are getting to nowadays (that wiring, jesus), but I'm guessing the pro's of ownership are still outweighing the con's? Of course, if the bloody tattslotto ROI actually went my way...E90 M3. And I'd have the cash to do all the extra lovely maintenance THOSE require. 馃槃
    • They sure do, great for when you need to chuck a sickie 馃槄   You should definitely give the beast a squirt on the track, great to enjoy the car
