Hey guys! Basically decided to take the 34 off the road to give it a good service and some tlc. While I'm doing the spark plugs Iv decided that I wanna do the coil packs as well, so first of does ne one know where the cheapest place is to get these? Whilst on the topic of sparkies, and yes before you ask I have used the search bar but have not really answered my question, do I need to gap down to 0.8 on a standard ign sys or can I leave them at 1?

Second of all I thought while I'm at it I was going to purchase the return flow intercooler kit from just jap since its not my daily I have the time to fit it my self. Would I benefit from the fmic with only my exhaust done and no ecu tune or is it point less? My thought was to just get it all done then later down the track send it in for a ecu/tune....

Any advice from you guys would be great :)

Cheers,

Rob

On standard boost you can run a 1.1mm spark gap just fine. Cheapest good coilpacks = Yellow Jackets. You can buy them from our forum supporter "Performance Wise".

RFIC will help with heatsink on warmer days and give you a little less response than the factory sidemount, but don't expect big power increases until you get the engine tuned / up the boost - it is a supporting mod, not a power mod. That being said, some people say power comes on a little stronger post-FMIC install. There are no huge benefits to doing it before your tune, but there's no harm in setting your car up with supporting mods for down the track. Another supporting mod you might want to get out of the way at the same time is a bigger fuel pump (e.g. Bosch 040).

    • Cleaner signal so timing is more accurate at all rpm also found it to start more on first rotation but could also be I've nailed prime and crank fuel. For under $400 and 30mins of your time, its a good solution especially once the optical sensor does start to play up you won't notice it until in higher rpm and it heat soaks.
    • On a 400hp RB, what benefits other than "it's not 30+ years old" are you seeing from the NZ Wiring Kit trigger setup? If it were me going to change triggering, my belief would be to go for a crank trigger to remove the issues caused by what people claim is belt stretch etc, but that's from my understanding a much larger issue for super high power, rather than those in the 400hp and below club.
    • The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)  
    • I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.
    • I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?
