This kit looks like it would be an easy plug and play kit! :yes:

http://www.mojoperf.com/drupal/node/21

I bought the RB26/LS2 coil brackets and springs from Rick at Mojo Performance recently and finished installing it over the weekend.

His brackets really are mint - saves you the hassle of having to make up brackets if you want a decent looking finish. I did the wiring myself, wasn't particularly difficult given there's a few guides out there on the net but was pretty fiddly at times. The coil cover should fit back over aswell which is good.

Anyway, recommend having a look at the above link if you're wanting to do something similar - just makes life so much easier!

Some info on using the GM truck coils:

Although spark power does increase with dwell times up to 6MS, dwell should be kept below 4.0 MS, only increased while closely monitoring for timing drift. These coils have an overcurrent protection mode (probably aggravated by the non-use of resistive plug wires in this application) that will cause timing drift in the ADVANCED direction. I know of several 2JZ engines (and 1 RB) gave been destroyed on the dyno by too much dwell. This seems to be somewhat dependent on type of ECU used but it pays to be safe. 2JZ users have made well over 1K WHP at boost levels in the 40s using 3.5 MS dwell.

To be sure of quality and performance, use only AC Delco D585, GM part 10457730. Many of the replacement (Chinese copies) coils do not provide the performance of the AC Delco pieces.

Great info there, and it explains a lot. Thanks.

It is also important to use resistive type spark plugs with the COP installation of these coils. Non-resistive plugs cause the coils to go into the overcurrent mode and drift/overheat.

polzin, I'll get out my diagram and post pin numbers shortly.

The overcurrent conditions mentioned apply to the round truck coils with the heat sinks on top - . I think this is a consequence of mounting directly on-plug without the resistive plug wires as in stock use.

I have not heard of this occurring with other LSx coils, but then all the others do not lend themselves to on-plug mounting. This is a fortunate coincidence as the truck coils deliver almost 2X the spark power of any of the others.

So by adjusting dwell below 4.0ms would be safe and still much more powerful than stock coils?

Yes.

Read status' s post towards the bottom regarding which coils to get and why.

Edited by Ben C34

If you're going to go to the bother of doing the swap, get the D585 truck coils.

Did you read the link I posted?

280 bucks for 8 brand new and have made 1000rwhp.

Seems ok to me. And don't have the dwell issues.

Yeah, I read your link. He doesn't mention the D585. If you research the coil conversion properly rather than spewing out something you saw on one forum you will see that most people suggest the D585 as being the preferred option. All I'm saying is, if you're going to go to the effort of doing the swap, then you may as well use the best coils possible. I paid $280 for 6, delivered; I don't need 8.

Right.

How much effort is it really? A little wiring and some brackets....

I have done my research and had already done the conversion using those coils status mentioned. I don't need the most powerful coils ever, neither do you probably.

Your right, he doesn't mention the D585 coils. He does however say the ones linked do not have the dwell limiting problem that the other coils have.

Quote:

Lots of testing has been done on all the variants and this one does not false fire (effectively uncontrolled added advance) at higher dwell levels like the others.

Seems like the sensible choice. Even if it's not the most powerful.

    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
