chasing info on ls2 coil packs in an rb25det neo r34

was out with a mate last nite and was telling him im about to buy splitfires and he has told me to look into ls coil packs.

he uses them on his 180sx which has 300 rwkw

i know they will have to be remote mounted like on the firewall or the top of the actual cover or something and leads made to run down but what else have ppl come up with.

are they road legal as well??

thanks heaps

I have a GTT and splitfires and over 350rwkw

No spark issue I would just go the splitfires

No extra work Drop them in

Valley cover back on no issues job done.

just spoke with chequered tuning

seems that its a massive pain in the ass unless im going over 400kw and change to a forward facing plenum setup coz the cross over pipe is a bitch.

i guess delete thread :)

Yep +1 here..............

I'm quite keen on getting some AEM "smart coils" after reading about them on here. They seem quite good value for money.

its a fairly easy mod if you can fabricate and weld and the coil packs are much cheaper than split fire and they pack a bigger punch ,at 135mj the oem and splitfire coils would be no where near that

nothing worse than upgrading the ignition a total of 3-4 times in a build and it becomes costly just do it once and do it properly for a reasonable price.

the yanks have been running ls2 coil packs as C.O.P for a while with no known issues

we have been testing the ls2 coil packs as a C.O.P , currently setting up 2 x sr20det 500 hp race rally buggies, 2 x drift cars 2jzgte 600 hp and rb25 500hp ( will post in the near future but we would need to run them for a while in extreme conditions to really see a conclusive result )

I would advise against fitting any sort of cover over the coils !

I have attached an image of a rb25 with forward facing manifold but you can clearly see the cross over pipe wouldn't be an issue

one advantage is even if a coil fails you can buy a replacement without hassle.

The split fires were replaced because insufficient spark ( which was probably 1 coil causing the problem but i wanted to test this setup and this was my chance, the customer refused to go back to the split fires he explained that this was the best the car had ever run.

along with many other issues that plagued this vehicle including a sticking WG flapper on return , once i worked through most of the issues the end result was 320 kw on 22 psi

    • I might have to say it.
    • Ahh... it's an early RE5R01A box, that means the pinouts I gave are wrong (they were for the RE4R01A 4-speed box)... I'll have to dig around in my docs to see if I've got that schematic (they used the same gearbox plug, with the vacant pin wired to the direct drive clutch solenoid)...prolly hidden away in a supplement somewhere... ...there were 3 variants of the RE5R01A ~ this early schema was what we called the 'dumb' 5 speed ; it's what jatco called a 'medium duty' box, with torque holding up roughly ~200ft/lbs or so, which was good for NA from RB20/25DE and up to around VG30 output spec. With the RB25DET (and VG33/35 mills), the only options they had was the 4-speed 4AX00 box, which had been beefed up to handle the extra torque (primarily for the VG35, but it also suited the RB25DET mill and others)...and the RE4R03 box in large 4WDs a lot of the time... ...the next variant of 5-speed was redesigned, stronger, and 'smart'...first ones had external TCU with internal (on valvebody) Shift Control Unit, pressure switches, and 2 x TSS...and the last ones had internal TCU+SCU setup, with CANbus control etc etc. @DRoc81 On the RHS of the box towards the rear, there should be a stamped silver ID tag -- what's the model number? Oh...and with the early 5-speeds, the torque converter control solenoid assembly should be replaced as well (31940-60X00)...it's a bit Murphy's Law ....if one has failed, bet on the rest not being far behind ...
    • I remembered wrong, but was close though 1Kz setting because those Jaycar SSRs don't go any faster, 1x pump per SSR with flyback diodes & heatsinks. In saying that, the heatsinks are overkill. Just on an alloy plate is more than sufficient. You'll find without a flyback diode, your SSRs will heat up big time and also die prematurely.  I've been running the two same SSRs since the last motor, no issues, car does 2 hour straight drives in summer once in a while and gets punished on the track. Nothing melts, no hot messes, etc.    
    • Hmm. You're probably best off working out what the lobe centreline or even the LSA is for the stock cams, with VCT OFF. That's bound to be out there somewhere. Then, work on the assumption that the Kelford centreline is probably the same, and wouldn't be more than a couple of degrees away, if it is different at all. I'm very surprised that you needed to adjust the exhaust cam by 5° to get it on spec. That screams there's another problem somewhere. Anything from the belt being 1 tooth off (how many degrees is one tooth worth?) to simple user/measurement error on the degree wheel. I say this because Kelford, like most quality cam manufacturers these days, does a pretty good job of actually making the cams to spec, not relying on patching it up afterwards like we had to do back in the 80s.
    • Besides packing it, you can also fill your pump through the oil filter inlet port. After cranking for what felt like an eternity without pressure, i fed a tube in through there and filled it with oil. Cranked for a few seconds after that and had pressure.
