thats why i went with the D514A along with that if the 585 gets too hot they go to safe mode. or so I read.

To summarise the way I understand it;

- D514A are powerful and safe, D585s are powerful (guessing probably more than D514A) but can fire early if you run too much dwell, that is, over 4 ms. Firing early "can lead to major engine damage".

- Genuine coils (AC Delco or Delphi) are more powerful than generics.

I'd guess you'd want maximum dwell at maximum torque, because that's when its going to be hardest to ignite the mixture.

D514A cant use the LS2RB/ MojoPerformance

gotta make a different one

Last question I promise... Are you using the www.LS2RB.com coil bracket?
If so, did you have any problems fitting the D514A coil? as I believe that bracket is designed to fit the D585 coil

Thanks mate, I've been in touch with Rick from Mojo Performance and he has informed me that the stock Nissan Dwell setting is around 2.5ms. So I will be fine to run the D585 coil without any risk of premature firing with the standard Power FC settings.

Although you can get a better spark by increasing the dwell slightly, at 2.5ms I will still get better performance than stock or Splitfire coils, so no need to mess with it.

Finally got to install my Mojo Performance GM LS2 Coil RB26 Kit and here is my Dwell Settings. Is my setting too safe?

I switched from Splitfire to LS2 Coils seems like the rev is faster and more responsive

For the love of your engine check the base timing, I did the swap from Splitfires to LS2 truck coils with 3.5ms dwell time and the timing of the coils moved advancing timing by 15deg which lifted the head and made 4 pistons catch the bores, have now gone back to splitfires

So you mean the D585s right? That's some whacky shit. Maybe another reason to stick with the lower power D514a's (assuming the don't do the same thing).

Did you notice any weirdness under 4ms? Maybe this is just the known "D585s go nuts over 4ms dwell" thing.

Yeah D585s, the dwell was set to 3.5ms and at that it advanced timing 15deg, which was tuned around but then they started moving the timing around randomly

I went the D585 because they are COP and much neater conversion then anything else, and now that shit went bad I am finding mine isn't an isolated case and actually becoming a common occurrence with these "smart" coils, info I couldn't find when I researched it before going the setup

It is like they where somehow firing on the rising edge instead off falling edge when they should have been

I am now looking at Audi R8 coils to get the spark I need to run 30psi

    • 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.
    • I dunno what the "best" one is....but when my 040 died late last year, after about 20 years of screaming service....I put in a 255. Like any such thing, you have to finagle it a little bit - it's not a no-brain swap. But it's not hard.
