Rb25 S1 Coil Packs In Rb25 S2, Anyone Done This?

[Rivet33]

Hey guys, I've a near new set of s1 coilpacks (splitfires) and now ha e a s2, can I use a rb25 s1 coil loom and external ignitor and just plug it in? Or they don't fit? Connection issues ect???

Thanks guys,

Gavin

They wont work, the s2 have a inbuilt ignitor in the coils hence not using a ignitor, just sell s1 and get s2 ones.

I understand that they have inbuilt ignitors in the coilpacks, and have the signal from the CAS to fire, BUT if you were to use the s1 loom using the EXTERNAL IGNITOR with the s1 coils, will I be able to do this? I can sell the coilpacks, but I'm I want to see if it can be done, the coils are less than 2000km old, it's cheaper If I can go this way and to be honest in my opinion integrated ignitors on coilpacks is a more un reliable set up as it's introducing further heat to a area which is prone to cracking ect ect, it's not so much about $$ but more so using what I have and reliability

Cheers

the connection wont fit. but if you get the ignitor loom, and coil loom you can cut and wire it in manually. a good tuner electrician should be able to do this without any issues.

but you are better off trying to find someone who would be keen to swap the s1 coils for a s2 set.

by the time you wire it all up its going to be better to just sell the coil packs and buy a proper series 2 set.

as above, can be wired in but not direct plug in

Will the powerfc enable this? It fits s1 and s2 r33's?

[WMDC35]

still needs the correct wiring setup

Cheers guys, I'm not to bad with electrical, I just wasn't sure if the ecu wouldn't read it or if it was throwing out different voltages ect ect, so in saying that I should be able to do it,

Thanks alot, appreciate the help

The ECU sends the same signals out regardless of which coils/igniters are at the other end of the loom. It's just that the wires run direct from the ECU to the coils in the S2 case and have to stop off at the igniter in the S1 case. In the same way, the various igniters don't much care which ECU is telling them to fire, and they also don't much care which coil they're then firing (assuming separate coil and igniter), unless the coil also has an igniter, which is not so good.

Spot on the answer I was looking for, cheers dude
