Aftermarket Coil Pack

[Guest david@pds]

Has anyone used after market coil pack like the spitfire packs.

i want to know if they are as good as they say they are? i have a break down problem if i run over 12 pounds, the factory coil pack break down.

i have a similar problem, i will be trying the Spitfire D1's soon, just waiting for them to arrive.

The factory packs are pretty limited...anything would be better than them. I've already gone through 5 packs on my car!!!

[Abo Bob]

I use the Splitfires they are great.

[666DAN]

You're a champ Bob! I wish *I* had been given some for nothing as well haha

many 400hp cars use stock coil packs.. probably even greater on GTR. there is nothing wrong with them if they are working correctly.

I'll have a new set of splitfires arriving next week.

I'll post up what I think about them once they are installed.

I run 21 PSI and 330 rwkw with standard coil packs.

[Fitzpatrick Speed Works]

munro run up to 450kw at the treads with standard coils they are very good but like anything they need care and attention....

i will be running bosch motorsport items on mine when its rebuilt and also CDI!! Should never have a problem... oh and the bosch units are only $44 each thats the price of a good second nissan one!!!

I visited a well known engine tuning workshop last weekend with some questions re: coil packs (rb25det) and he basically said that for the extra ~$300 (~$900 for Spitfires or ~$600 for new nissans) that the spitfires aren't worth it.

$44 for Bosch sounds alright...

[B-Man]

With the Bosch ones you need to mount them remotely, run a HT lead , and re-wire the coil pack loom - not a big job but worth it for the $$ you save -

You could make it look great with Red HT leads or something.

spitfires are around $600 for a set, so better value than nissan.

We had trouble with spark quenching at anything over 22psi=350awkw.Installed splitfires and not only gained power and torque, but could put more boost into it (26psi=390awkw).A lot different on the track too as stacey had a lot of trouble hanging on to her on the first few runs until she got used to the additional power....Paul......DIRTgarage

was going to make my own thread but i guess this is suitable to add to this thread as might also be usefull for others.

i'm looking at getting some spitfire coil packs for my RB20DET, just curious as to:

-> where people get them from for such a good price? (ie $600)

-> if they work well with a stock computer? (i'm guessing there shouldn't be any issues, unlike injectors)

-> would spitfire coil packs for a RB20DET be interchangeable with a RB25DET? (incase i decide to upgrade the motor in the near future)

[Lepperfish]

I got haltech coils when I got my ecu installed.. Seem good to me..

[fire_bringer_]

Can anyone tell me what is needed to run MSD coil kits? (ie using normally a MSD unit and run iginition wire straight to spark plugs).

I have seen the rogoli modify their 300+RKW cars without spending 1000 dollars on a stupid coil pack.

Any Advantages over the standard pack?

apparently rb20det and series1 rb25det coils are the same..

Splitfires $600!!? Me too.

"unlike injectors"?? - Is this why when I installed RX7 Injectors they did not seem to all be firing properly on my R32 GTS4? Cant the ECU handle the same impedence larger injectors OK??

Sorry if off topic.

Not sure about other places but we sell them for $750 or $630 if we could get a group buy of 5 people.

As far as i know, there are only 2 types of coil packs for the Rb engines.. the ones which suit all S2 engines (with ignitor module built into each coil) and the ones for all S1 (single ignitor module at back of coil pack cover).

[benm]

I got told that their are 2 diff type coil packs for S1 engines and 1 type for S2 engines (S1.5 engines use S2 coils). . . That was by Just Jap Auto in Kirrawee Sydney.

I put S2 coils in my S1.5 and they "worked" (I still have a miss so either 1 of the 2 I put in is faulty or I have more than 2 that needed replacing).
