At that power I would be looking at an LS1/2 truck coil conversion. Or be the first to try VQ coils out on an RB. No problems here...

Where is it breaking down btw?

[R33huntme]

around 7000 rpm

Buy Splitfire or OEM.

[scotty nm35]

Splitfires may just do it, or LS2's if you want moar...

Splitfires or possibly Yellowjackets but none of the rest has a track record.

Or look at getting some of these (my next coils):

or with the price of freight fom the US these days may be cheaper to buy them from NZ

or direct from their website:

my yellow jackets started breaking down pretty badly after 18 months.

decided to spend the extra and have some okada projects plasma direct coils now, so far so good

Did you get them from the US or Japan (I believe they are made in the US)?

Do they plug straight in or do you have to use leads?

And what was the cost for 6?

Okada projects will be at least $1600. I was looking at them till i seen the price. Now im looking at MSD LS2 coils.

Have you had a look at these Ray? I will be getting some next year:

or available from NZ (maybe cheaper freight than from US these days) c/w mounting bracket (still need to make loom and get leads):

payed around $1000 for the 6 so quite a bit more expensive than most of the other alternatives,

yes they plug straight in

i beleive they came out of japan, i got them from here http://www.hioctanedirect.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=25&zenid=kg6vv9nv4it167qe4h7cnsoce7

Cool so are you back to 1.1mm spark plug gap now?

Prob wouldnt work out cheaper after the freight. Besides LS2 coils are more readily available.

Wow they have come down alot since i priced them out of japan.

[tripsteady]

also had the same dilemma. just bit the bullet and went splitfires.

difference is amazing , but i guess any coils would show that vast difference compared to the 15 year old coilpacks.

in anycase , yellow jackets have been shown to fail some of the time as well , much less then splitfires do.

i would suggest splitfires, dont touch the $250 cheap coils....

[mrfrontmount]

I have had yellow jackets for over 2 years in my stock S1 with no drama's so far. At the time they were a bit cheaper than the splitfires so I went for them.

Having said that I have run splitfires in my GTST and GTR in the past.

yeah back to 1.1 gap now, running 18psi with no problems, i guess only time will tell how they hold up
