[Travo]

Hi guys,

I know this has been covered somewhere but i could not find it in the forums..

Does anyone have a link or could tell me what needs to be done for this?

Cheers.

Well not unless he/she specifically wants to run fewer external coils in wasted spark which isn't ideal and most likely not much if any of an upgrade.

To run some wicked external coils for an RB, u'll want 6x AC Delco D585 (LS2 Truck) coils, leads to match and just wire them up to power/ECU. They have ignitors built-in so U can get rid of the factory ignitor (if it's an RB26 or series 1 R33 or earlier)

Info on the D585 coils here:

They should have no problem running a 1.1mm gap and LOTS of boost!

Factory ecu ? are you talking a R32 ecu ? you can program the eprom and change the dwell settings...

better/cheaper coils(can be bought individually too), quicker plug changes, stronger spark!
