Hi All,

Hit the dyno last night and was getting missfire/spark breakdown at 14psi and above, mainly on cylinder 1 according to the plugs. increased dwell, gapped the plugs, dielectric grease. issue never went away.

eventual goal is 27-28psi on HKS2530s on a 2.6L running E85, a hail mary ~600whp.

the question is will Brand new OEM coils handle this kind of cylinder pressure? If so, I will buy them, or will I need to go to another solution like Audi R8 COP coils, or something more difficult to mount/install like LS2/IGN-1A coils. the D585 Yokon COP kits are a non-starter as far as I'm concerned.

Cheers

Alex

Check your alternator is making the correct voltages, I had a massive misfiring issue as well before and it turned out my alternator was dropping voltage as RPM increased.

Swapped to a brand new alternator and misfire went away :)

I'm starting to see minor issues on e85 under WOT with splitfires, however as soon as I mix in some 98 again (flex setup) it completely goes away.

This might be able to fixed up in the tune, but my feeling is the ignition system is near it's limit.

Just an update here,

I've decided to go a set of genuine R35 coils (22448-JF00B) and make up a bracket for them to sit in. as I have an R34 gtr, the coils are plug and play.

interesting to note, is the stock R34 coil dwell is around 2ms at 14v, and the R35 coils are 4.2ms.. so I'm expecting MUCH stronger spark, as evidence of this, the AMS alpha package cars making 1500+hp still use stock R35 coilpacks.

I have direct wired power through a relay from the engine bay main 12v+ post for the coil power as well. using the standard 12v+ from the ECCS relay as the activation signal for it.

New oem coils dont seem to be the same quality as the originally OEM factory fitted ones.

We made over 1000hp on OEM coilpacks with HKS DLI and NGK fine tip racing plugs (the key) numerous times, nowadays we struggle with some brand new OEM ones at 20-25psi.

If you want decent coils run IGN-1A they are 103kj compared the the now fad 2zz toyota coils which are only 43kj.

Has anyone used the yaris coils on an RB yet? Plenty of talk of them on JZ but nothing for us.

waiting on James from ECK to make a kit for the RB.. hopefully I can get it below trade price for testing

Plenty have. Work great, apart from not fitting under the coil covers

Nobody on SAU has as far as I can tell. Nobody has posted pics or a review anyway.

Anything that doesn't fit under the coilpack cover is a no go for me.

yup quite a few but 43kj for the yaris versus 103kj for the IGN-1A its a simple decision..

    • Coming home late at night and driving past the police is the only reason i need one haha And yeh, definitley needs a switch to quickly enable it, dont have time to be getting my phone, opening an app, waiting for it to update etc before being able to make the change
    • Because it is financially convenient for them lol. Why wouldn't they want to give you the lowest possible valuation for your car?
    • Yep. @Duncan also shannons they will rip you dry and will be probably limited on how much you can drive. Also keep in mind that you always have to have it garaged with Shannons, with enthusiasts as per their PDS you can have it 2 times per week on the driveway for example. 
    • I had a generic 4" Varex rear box on my old V8, worked a treat for sneaking home late at night, it was as quite as stock when closed The car was "fairly" loud when open as it consisted of 1" 7/8 headers to 3" catted Y pipe, to 4" single, it did have a resonator in the mid pipe and only the Varex out the back I also hard wired in a Varex dash mount switch, as the key fob thing is a pain to use when driving I wouldn't recommend giving the beans when it is closed though as it creates a large restriction in the exhaust  It also can in very handy when pulled over for "random" breath tests or just cruising past the constabulary   
    • Here is the before and after of the scraping/sanding of the IC pads on the tachometer board for the fix mentioned in this thread. And yes it worked fine after. Just a note if you change any components on the board the tach calibration can be wrong showing the wrong idle etc...only problem is once it is installed back in the cluster you can't get to it to adjust...ouch! My fix was to cut out the calibration pot (the blue one) from the board and run it with two wires to the fuse panel under the dash where I could adjust the idle calibration once everything was installed. And yes I soldered everything up again including the half soldered components either side of the IC in my photos
