I have a RB25DET 1.generation with the external ignition amplifier and stock coils. To get it to work with high boost I'm using NGK BCPR7ES plugs gapped to 0.60mm but it doesnt run very smooth with a cold engine or at low revs because of the heat value and low gapping.

I also bought a HKS DLI2 with twinspark\CDi but it came with a wiring harness for a rb25det 2.gen engine wich has different coils and the ign amp integrated in the ecu so I could not install it.

But I know I need a stronger spark! So what alternatives are there to improve spark on a 1.gen engine? I've heard the splitfire coilpacks are nothing else than stock coils with blue paint. And I think my stock coilpacks are in decent shape. Anybody got any tips on products?

You dont need stronger spark i reckon

You need GOOD coils, and GOOD plugs, and a GOOD tune.

Thats it. :D

The HKS spark box is only for when you get above 350rwkw, if your breaking down before that... coils is the likely option

I'm running a GT4088R with about 1.5 bars of boost now. It starts popping and misfiring under boost after that. But I want to run about 2.0 bar. And im aiming for about 650-700hp at the wheels

You have some sort of ingition issue then

Stock coils combines with the HKS box has many a time run over 500rwkw.

Plenty of Jap cars have done it :)

excactly, thats why I need a HKS box that fits my ignition system. the DLI2 amp unit apparantly doesnt. I cant find anybody who has made it work and how.

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.

      STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
