Coil Pack gone out da windy


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

just a question on dead coils...

I have all the symptoms of a dead coil

misfire on idle, misfire at low rpm, low power, high fuel consumption

but the car also stalls, do dead coil/coils usually cause the car to stall?

Also the problem seems to be gradually getting worse and worse

when it started, it was only a random misfire now and again, now even starting the car is a hassle

dont just go and change your coils if you get a missfire. i had the same thing and went looking for prices for new splitfires. Then i found a thread about cracking housings and arcing problems. I pulled my coilpacks found one TINY crack, slapped some insulating tape on it and its been perfect ever since. If you have a crack thats causing it to arc out and not a problem with the coil itself, resistance testing wont help you.

Yeah, I had my coils out on Saturday & the front 3 had hairline cracks on the front face. The back 3 coils were fine though.

Checked the resistance cold & I think my multimetre must be a little out of whack as they all measured 0.5ohms. But they were cold hence the resistance was a little lower.

New NGK BCPR6ES gapped to 0.75 but still a bit of hesitation at max load at 4500 - 5000rpm. Old plugs indicated decent mixtures but this may not be so all through the rev range.

    • You need the kit turbo taipan has shown you because that manifold ia designed have side feed injectors 
    • @johnnysr22 did you end up installing the little screen thingy and did it work ?>   
    • There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done. 
    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.
