[R33GOD]

As title states

just wanna know if i'd need to upgrade my coilpacks for this setup

-7's (18-19psi or so)

540cc sards

wolf v400 ecu

nismo f/pump

3 1/4in exhaust , jjr front pipes, stock dumps

will the standard coils hold up for 290- 310 rwk?

ive searched everywhere but couldnt find my answer.

if anyone has a link would be fantastic.

Hi,

I've got an R34 GTR running 2530s, 800cc @ 20psi, made 350awkw and still using the standard coilpacks.

Should be fine.

If you get into trouble try a HKS Twin Spark. Im running one on my car.... 400 KW at the treads give or take. No problems at all!

how do they compare to splitfires?

and also when the cars ready for dyno tuning does it make a difference to leave the coilpack cover on or off?

The Twin spark is just a little gold box that helps to bump up the output of your coils..... You still use the stock coils.

Thats up to you. I have mine off but thats only me.

il see how i go i guess.

Standard as new OEM, or standard as 10+ years old as came with the car. If it's the latter, then it's probably more a case that it's a good idea to renew the coil packs anyway. As has been posted many times, aftermarket units are cheaper than OEM.

yeah I wouldn't rush out to buy them up front. see how you go first. if the thing fires ok then you don't need them. if you get ignition break down then coil pack replacement MAY be on the cards (still investigate the other ignition related things like plug type, plug heat range and plug gap first.). always look at the cheap solutions first!

405kawkw and standard coil packs - all good thus far (and I probably just jinxed myself :-)

[bnr#@]

Standard good condition coilpack's are as good if not better then anything you can buy

sweet. abit off topic though now. I got the car off the road for all the upgrades, and im going to change the timing belt too. I got a standard nissan belt.

Should i get a gates heavy duty one if i am going to be making 300+rwk or will the standard one do the job?
