ok, im fairly sure one of my coil packs is failing causing a random missfire on idle and on cruising throttle. now the missfire is a little too random to just pull the plug off and see which one is causing it so i was just wondering whether like the rb20det coils you can sus out which one is screwed by taking an ohm reading on each one and if anyone has an idea on the specs. Also, are the rb20det/rb25det coils the same?

cheers

RB20 &c RB25 coils are interchangeable, im running 5 x rb20 with 1 x rb25 coil.

It may pay to check the resistance with a bit of temp in them, as mine when cold at room temperature all measured the same resistance...it was only after a drive and quickly ripping them out was i able to find the culprit coil

just to revive an old thread, i just got my Splitfire Di coil packs today from jp. Now on the box it says for RB Series engines: RB26DETT, RB25DE, RB20DET & RB20DE. Will these be ok for my series 1 RB25DET? i rekon they will be. any help appreciated :D

its not always the coils.. everybody just blames the coils when they're not sure :) its a favourite tuners response: "I don't really know what is going on so I'll just tell you its coils"

if i find out that this is the case, i will do all of my own work from that day forward. And its too late, i already own the new coils and I found out that the ones i was given are ok to use on RB25DET.

That's a lame excuse considering its about a 30min job to replace the coils and test.

:) true, it just seems a lot seems to be about coils lately as the root of all evils. a few people have wasted a bit of money to find out its hasn't been - then again some have found it is.. so *shrug*

Guess you can only one thing at a time to eliminate things - I have an rb25 s1 igniter if you want to quickly test that sometime, although again thats only part of the whole system.

timing is perfect, the problem was discovered during tuning.

ok, i just put them in and went for a drive, using the old platinum plugs that would make it miss. Didn't miss a beat all the way to 7000 on 0.92bar. Very happy, fixed my problem. Also, after looking at the old coil packs, 5 of them have big white spots on both sides indicating spark blow-out if im right? Time for a re-tune with some more timing now....

    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
    • OK, so the weight has been bugging because it was really low. I did it again today and got a more believable answer at 1246 without driver And with a 93kg driver I'm pretty sure the car was still slightly on the quickjack last time meaning the full weight was not on the scales
