Splitfire Coilpacks

[yokotas13]

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

[JVP]

hmmm......

i had no troubles installing splitfires in my old r32 gtst....

odd.

[ssshonky]

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.

Yep... In the series II stagea with the R34 NEO thet fitted perfectly in my case... I know there are differences with the harness in the non NEO RB25 but provided you have bought the right set they should go in just fine...

[yokotas13]

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

[FLYSLY]

I need to get me some of these in the near future as one of my coil packs has cracked, so your happy with how they perform Grant?

[beastien]

Installed a set of R33 splitfire coilpacks into my S1 Stagea, and they fit perfectly, installation

was exact reversal of removal.

[wagon]

Same here, series 2 R33 splitfires into a series 1 stagea

[yokotas13]

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

Wrong

SF-DIS-005 for series2 R33 or series 1 Stagea

SF-DIS-008 for R34 gtt or series 2 Neo stagea

[yokotas13]

eh, the box said it would fit, it works.

ill make brackets

[ssshonky]

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?

[yokotas13]

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

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

They are only $375 USD new for the right ones

[yokotas13]

its harder for me to buy through Japan companies, i dont speak japanese quite well yet.

Its alright though, i normally buy my stuff from the US

its cheaper

[Tangles]

high temp heat silicon (selley's 401 industrial strength silicone sealant) for $13.00 (thats $10usd) worked fine for me

[yokotas13]

to hold them in?

crazy i tell you

[ssshonky]

bwahaha.. changing the plugs is hard enough .. can you imagine if they were under about 5 large tubes worth of silastic ..

[yokotas13]

plugs are hard to change?

Your crazy for saying that!

[ssshonky]

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!
