Ok, so i installed them tonight

Gripes:

They have no thorough instructions

the ones that are in it, only showed how to remove the old coilpacks, and its not just a reverse installation...

Second

You cant just reinstall them into your old coilpack holders

it doesnt work...at all

you can install one bolt on each one, but when you put them on the car in the holder, its misaligned

so i didnt use it

BUt, when you install them without the holder, they are rather secure

they flop around but dont pull upwards, we shall see how it works out

It helped my idle immensly

its still high, but much more even

i also replaced plugs along with the coilpacks

TOmorrow ill bring it out for a test run before i install the wideband and SAFC2

see if it improved my boost problem at all...

anyways, more to come

the one thing I did notice .. whilst reading the instuctions on how to change the coilpacks

I think the NEO uses a slightly different configuration than the non neo motors.

Looking at the how to article.. it seems that on the non NEO motors.. the coilpacks are grouped in 3 and attached to a plate ( 2 plates for 6 coilpacks ) on the NEO the coilpacks are just held in with 2 screws per coilpack. If you got the right coilpacks for the motor . and they are not a direct fit , I would be complaining or seeking re-embursment.

there is only one set for all years WGNC34

the non neo has the bracket that are grouped in 3

ill make some kind of bracket , not a big deal

just didnt know if it was only me that had that problem or not

maybe i have an odd holder?

i dunno

doesnt work for me...ghey

i cant speak for performance

but it improved my idle alot, its alot more smoothe

im installing my HKS acutator in like 10 minutes nad ill let you know how it performs once i get my boost back.

i think my wastegate is failing

man its going to be a bit of a headf*ck to make the bracket up accurately .

why not just send em back and say they dont fit? will be a lot easier.

from what I could see of the bracket that groups the 3 coil packs together it looks like its

made out of reasonably thick ally plate. Or why not just see if you can get that plate from

a wreakers etc?

well, theo problem is i bought them from a used place, but htey wre brand new

i got em for 350 USD

which is like 250 less than everywhere else

SO...its owrth the hastle, ill just trim off the mounting parts that cover hte larger holes, and get a piece of metal and make like a T with the bolt and metal to hold htem down.

shoudl only take an hour or so

well, theo problem is i bought them from a used place, but htey wre brand new

i got em for 350 USD

try buying your parts thru www.nengun.com (they are in Japan)

They are only $375 USD new for the right ones

I have been called worse haha..

no its just the 1st time doing it .. was just a bit of a pain .. compared to some of the other cars I have worked on . That and the breather hose being rock hard etc etc etc..

but .. got my good 1/4 drive ratchet set.. so those pesky alan keys holding the cover on dont stand a chance now.

plugs are hard to change?

Your crazy for saying that!

    • Oh bugger ! Your right ! Good old hydrogen sulfide. Takes me back to the good old school days ! 
    • I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless   
    • Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.
    • You need to know I am sorry for this.  
    • As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1
