I have tried two types of coil packs, firstly superspark, now with these, i will just go ahead and say they are rubbish, because i bought a set and they failed after a couple of months, then i took it for warranty and they sent a few spare ones, they worked for a while and started missfiring again. i would just stay clear of these ones!, Now the second brand was splitfire, i have had no problem what so ever with these ones, so it prooves the superspark ones are shit quality, you can even see with the mould quality with the two brands. Just pay the extra $200 or whatever and get splitfires, it will save you money and hassle in the long run.....

The yellow jackets from perfornance wise are also good coils, lots of ppl on GTRC using them.I also have yellow jackets and have no complaints.

well then i guess thats another good brand, i was thinking of getting them, but wasnt sure and didnt want to risk it again....

ive got them and holding up with 300 rwkw's worth of drift car...so far so good.

I must have gotten a bad batch or something, thats still pretty bad because i paid $499 at autobarn... they arent really that cheap either, for the extra $150 or so i would rather the splitfires....

all the china coils are from the same factory with different colours and branding but the same coils

in 7 years of selling splitfires ive had 1 s15 coil fail after 1.5 years of use on a heavily modified engine

we sell at least 50 sets per year

my favourite china coil story to recount is the car that came in with a bad misfire and the china coil had melted into a pool in the spark plug valley

classic!

lmao!!!!! that sounds about right, where is splitfire made in japan or usa or something right???

i agree with the supersparks. the dealer purchased these and put them in my car before i bought it and they failed in a few months so i bought splitfires and have had no problems since.

yer exactly the same problem with me, only worked for a few months and then failed...the splitfires even feel more smoother than the supersparks

That is not true. Yellow Jackets Coil Packs are not made in the same factory as the other red ones.

Please get your facts straight before stating so publically. Thanks.

I used to sell Splitfires for around 3 years (approx 80 sets/year) and have had at least 3 sets returned due to faults in that period.

I now sell around 370 sets/year of Yellow Jackets and have had only 5 coils (not sets) fail in that period and we threw them straight under the microscope for testing and the "wrinkles" were identified and ironed out immediately.

I say why waste $800 on coil packs when u can send your coil loom to me and get a wastespark setup for 200 and never have a problem again makes sense saves dollars why wouldn ya

    • Meanwhile, 20+ years ago, I pulled out the 105mm hole saw and went straight down through the inner guard in front of the airbox to get my stormwater pipe cold air intake in. Right behind the two stock holes for the intercooler pipes. Those have no reinforcement (apart from a couple of robust pieces of steel pipe through them!). I feel that the Australian vehicle standards crews put way too much emphasis on "maintaining the crash performance" of cars and not enough consideration of "any crash is a new and wonderful experiment with a random selection of parameters and you will never be able to tell if an extra 80mm hole through some sheet metal caused a significant difference...but if you close your eyes and squint at the whole structure, engage your engineering brain and have a good think about it, you'd have to expect that it would do jack all."
    • You guys are focussing on the wrong part of this post and have headed off on an irrelevant tangent!  Clearly I'm not going to put my most prized physical possession (well it will be once I'm finished it...) on a piece of shit contraption that might fail and crush me or my car!  At no point was that even implied I was trying to buy a butchered P.O.S that some shonky clown had thrown together with a gasless MIG....  Either way I would love to see the build quality of a rotisserie that has failed.  Actually I'd love to see a photo of one that has failed full stop.  Google fails to deliver.  Never happened?? I'll either make one that won't fail or will buy one that wouldn't fail! End Post.....
    • Yeah, if you can't breathe for more than about 2 minutes, you're cooked.
    • Well, all the power should be getting dissipated across the starter motor. Therefore, ideally, the voltage drop across the earth lead should be convincingly close to zero. Certainly you'd want it to be only a volt or so at max, because otherwise that volt doesn't turn up at the starter to do what is required. A car can probably survive a bad enough earth to crank and start with only 9V or so at the starter motor, maybe even a bit less. But you're seeing only 8V at the battery terminals when cranking, so there can't even be that much available over at the starter, which simply won't do. I would have thought that you couldn't pull enough current (with a healthy starter) to make the battery drop to 8V locally. But I was ignoring the possibility that the starter is in fact crook. If it has shorted windings (or maybe the solenoid is borked and shorting to earth) then I guess it could pull a stack of current and not even look like wanting to turn over. So follow the other boys' reccos too. Because they are just as likely at this point.  
    • Depending where the whole gets drilled, and what country/state you're talking about, quite likely not.   Under ole vehicle mod rules in NSW, VSI06 allowed for drilling of holes in "non structural" areas. So you could drill a hole through the inner guard, and not need engineering. You couldn't drill over seams, and it was advised to add extra reinforcing around the hole, as well as something to protect from sharp edges.   Again, it's all about finding the documentation for where the mod is to be done, AND then being able to explain the situation, with the documentation as to why you don't need engineering, with a positive attitude, to any one of the likes eg, police, vehicle inspector, etc.
