As I said on the first page, any one who goes to an aftermarket coil pack is being made a fool of. Stick with the stock ones - anything else you do is as constructive as burning money

[dano4127]

so you would rather have 20 year old coils breaking down on high boost in an R32 than a fresh set of aftermarket items?

If your having coil pack dramas I would much rather have a fresh set than screwing around re insulating your coils every couple of weeks...

Who said anything about every couple of weeks? If you do it right it shouldn't be a problem. No one I know who has re-insulated them has had any issues and I know people (Cubes on this forum being one of them) who are making good power on the reinsulated stock coils which were done years ago now.

Imho its much more effort to go and order a set of coils, pay ~$1000NZ for them and then change them over than to spend ~$10 on some crap to put on the stock coils - remove them from the block (they don't never need to be removed from the bracket) and give them some love. I guess people feel they have more dignity if they spend 100x as much to get the same effect

[dano4127]

I fixed mine twice before I went and got a fresh set...

Maybe I didnt do it right but yeah was too much hassle and the JJR are $399 so its not that bad mate

[Lithium]

Ah ok, only 40x more expensive then Mine have already been going a few weeks with no hint of getting upset.

[dano4127]

its actually 39.99x more expensive

then I guess you gotta take into account your in kiwi land... so the dollar is trading at 1.2........... argh f*k it

Let us know if the $10 fix lasts long enough to not warrant going aftermarket

Not going to read this many pages.. but it was proven stock or splitfires are the only two ignition coilpacks which work as good as stock or better (1% better for split fire)

ebay ones produced 40% less power on the dyno.. that bad!

yeap exactly, i put hi temp silicon around the stock ones and they didnt work.

installed with no dramas, so far so good

time will tell on the dyno when it gets more boost.

cheers
