Back again...

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction re:coild pack discussions (Know a lot more now!)

I was wondering if there is a coil pack that is compatible with a R34? If yes or no, is a second hand option worth it, is there a way to test this part for cracks?

Have only been able to find a spitfire coil pack = $895.00+del.

The other option I face is a $5 Epoxy Solution...not sure if it worth the effort if it props up again.

thanks again guys

www.nengun.com sell brand new Splitfire Ignition coils for $583 delivered.

The model number is: SF-DIS-008

The glue will work for a week or 2, it's easier just to cough up the money and be done with it. Been there, done that!

Legends, both of you!

I want to make sure that my issues is related to the Ignition coils...what issues did you guys have?

At low revs the engine 'pules' and almost splutters (Mainly at a stop)

Also, could I install these myself? Any hints will help, just don't want to replace them and turns out they are fine (All signs point to yes I think)

Cheers again!

An easy way to find if the coils are your problem is to replace them with some out of a mates car (make sure same model car and engine).

A harder way is to individually take 1 coil out, wrap it in electrical tape, put it back in and take the car for a drive. Keep doing it until the car is driving perfect again and then you'll know exactly which coil(s) are faulty.

If you know how to change your sparkplugs you know how to change the coils. All you have to do is take the center cover off, disconnect the wiring loom from each coil, remove the 2 bolts holding each coil in and swap it with the new coil.

It's about a 20-30min job in total to do everything.

mine sort of spluttered at standstill and misfired from 4-6k rpm everynow and then. I tried everything as i couldnt undertstand why it wasnt happeing all the time i thought if it was the coils it would happen all the time. i tried cleaning the afm re gappping plugs all the way down to 0.5 they were all temporary fixes. my coils finally melted. i melted 4 at the same. so all along it was my coils.

Splitfires are the way to go no more splutering missing etc.

they are very easy to change yourself. just take off the neo cover and the coil cover and remove bolts holding the coils in and swap em.

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.

      I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.
