Ok i could think of 1 way ...... find a model EG series 2 r 33 ..... find people who have splities jjr yellow jackets ect ..... who have run them for around 20000 kms who are within the same power range let say 180-200 kwatw and test them with the multi meter then compair results with an adverage ?

Really? Like everything these days? Thas fascinating.

The multimeter readings won't prove much vs. real world results IMO. I dynoed my S15 track car with Splitfires and then with YJs. This is a 280rwkw car on E85 and the differences were negligible when overlayed. Where the Splitfires achieved 3kw more at one point, the YJs would be 3kw higher at another point. In fact overall I was a little happier with the YJ graph, but again it's completely negligible. Coilpacks have to provide a current...it's not like different brands of turbo where you're going to end up with dramatically different results on the dyno. They seem to either work or they don't. The only inbetweens come from wear over time, but all brands seem to carry the same time/km warranty.

^ Just expanding on one point birds alluded to, multimeter testing would require a constant problem, but when I used to have trouble with the stock coilpacks they worked inconsistently, sometimes the car would run as normal, others it'd be missing all over the place.

Thats an interesting input.... good to see they both have differance in application .... sorry i ment to describe a test for how they help up for stregth not power as in test the resistance between all................... the standard ones that i had the differance between working and missing was 1310 to 1410 it was funny to see .0100 was the diff between working and not ..... i would want to see how they all hold up for time .... how long they last

So for those who've had yellow jackets fail, did they die completely or develop a missfire on high rpm boost (as per broken OEM's).

I've had mine in for about a year and just had the misfire reappear.

Mine died completely...well the car would start on 5 cylidners and take 5 minutes of warm up before the 6th one kicked in. Easy to diagnose...just swapped the coilpacks around until I found the dud.

after skimming through SAU threads relating to YJs v SFs, the common thing that gets brought up about YJs is the price difference, made in china, the odd YJ being returned and they still seem to do the job.

Im definitely keen to have this 'officially' tested to settle the argument(s) and to see the figures etc. But atm, I'm about $$$.. so YJ's will be my choice for when they need replacing.

    • Yesterday's day in review: All the wiring to the lights up the front how I want it, is ran, terminated, and all to length. The only lighting up front I haven't finished is the side indicators, as I need to get to the partly cutup factory loom, and find the plugs for them. Interesting note, the side indicators use the exact same plug that's in the doors for something else that I don't remember what it is... So that plug better be careful...   Power steering solenoid, on the R33 is variable, and from memory PWM. The Ford's control from the docs I have so far, is it's just a on or off control. So I'm not sure it's what I want, and in any case, power steering running, but at its heaviest (solenoid off) is likely what I'll want anyway, so I'm not yet touching it at all. All the wiring I can complete so far, is done. There are 3 wires I need to make a plug for at the ECU, and these are just for the vehicle speed sensor, of which I need to get a T5 from an AU, so I can use its output that has the speed sensor on it. (My car doesn't have ABS, otherwise I'd set it up to use one of the ring gears on that). I need to buy new headlight globes and front parker globes, otherwise I could show photos of lights working. Current fuel lines in and out on this motor are "5/16". I'll order hardline, and some AN fittings for that, and I just need to 100% check fuel line size at the tank end, to get the ends for it. I'm also looking at a few options for the banjo bolts to AN fittings for the power steering rack. I'll pull the reservoir off the Barras PS pump. There's an off the shelf fitting for that pump for a -10 AN feed, and it'll use a 16mm to dash -6 an outlet to feed the rack. I'll be making my own power steering reservoir, I'm going through the thought process at the moment of how I'll run the baffles, and I need to research another idea for it too.
    • Two inlet runners changes the engines characteristics requiring less fuel to make torque at different points in the rev range. The smaller diameter inlet runners on the DET increases air flow speed, which improves atomisation of fuel, particularly in low load/idle for better burn, and in specific areas of the engine, (areas you would use when driving normally) increases the efficiency. All of those items change how efficient the engine is at different speeds. The changes on the neo help slightly to improve emissions where it matters. The overall improvements won't be the likes of going from an engine built in the 70s to an engine built in the 2000s, it's just a small step. But still leaves it the RB with the best chance of improvement.   As for your comment about the whole using a cat to not need to worry about those gases. Two things, no system is 100% perfect. It won't eliminate everything. So reduce the quantity you put into it, you still reduce the output. Two, make that system do less work, and it's likely to survive a little bit longer. Funnily enough to, one trick employed to get cats up to temp, AND to drastically reduce emissions before they get up to temp, is to reduce ignition timing.
    • Maybe I should have written that a bit better lol. I did come 8th last in English at school during the HSC, ironically spent 2 decades reading/writing specifications and contracts in IT 😂
    • Right, but that's in-cylinder, there's the interaction between that and the TWC which complicates things. Pulling out timing to reduce NOx is a strategy I saw in transitional emissions vehicles like stuff from 1974 or so. The two inlet runner system is interesting but I'm not sure it makes a huge difference as far as emissions goes, is it a tumble valve? I've seen stuff like that even in cars from the late 80s. 
    • Hello all,   so i recently swapped out my rb20de neo with an rb25de neo( engine,transmission, wiring and the diff everything) but i just cant get the gear indication light on the dash to work when i switch to tiptronic mode. Note there is a steering wheel switch beside the shifter and i dont have that. I did notice yesterday while switching to tiptronic that the indicator on the dash started to work but it didn't afterwards. Does anyone know how this actually works? Or do i still need that steering wheel switch to be connected and on for that gear indicator to work?
