Hey guys just wondering has anyone used these coils on big power GTRs. Looking to upgrade ignition system & came across these coils thru the net AEM Smart coils. Need to know if these things will handle 35 plus

Other than that thinking about LS2 Truck coils. Need to know the ins & outs of the 2 looked over the net but cant seem to find anything thats states these things can handle the boost without breaking down.

Regrds,

I looked at these and was pretty keen on them. But their physical size is a problem. They were too big for where I wanted to put them on the firewall.

I ended up going with LS2 truck coils. I havnt tested them yet as the car is a long way off. But from what I've heard / read. They will handle a lot of boost.

They have been used on 1100kW setups.

I've read on a few ecu forums about people having issues trying to get the ls2 truck coils to fire on cranking. There's something to do with the "smart" part of them causing issues with the dwell at low rpm. Has anyone else heard of this? I'm currently running ls2 car coils on my car and never had a single issue but always curious about the truck version

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
