Splitfire vs stock coilpacks

[Akshunhiro]

Hey guys, quick question regarding coilpacks

Stag is loooong overdue for a service (still haven't fitted the coolant bypass mod purchased from Scotty nearly 3 years ago!)

Wondering whether it's worth spending the extra $$$ for Splitfire coilpacks or just sticking with stock

My Stag hasn't been heavily modified and likely won't be so imagine stock will be more than up to the task?

It's a VQ25DET with turbo-back exhaust, may do a front mount later down the track but that's it

Splitfires were tested and seem to be all over the map there, but it's hard to say if the reason why the used RB25 coil was so bad was because it was old or not. Personally I've always been skeptical of going aftermarket for these kinds of parts, I bet the OEM coilpacks will end up comparable to a Splitfire in VQ applications.

Correct (new, not old) OEM coils and Splitfires can't really be separated for performance.

I have no idea why anyone would upgrade to Splitfires these days though, given the huge number of massively better pencil coils available.

Thanks guys, OEM it is!
