Anyone running Big Power (400bhp+) on older style coilpacks
 

Hi, as the title says is anyone running big power on the older coilpacks, 1 on each plug?

My bro is having trouble with missing at high boost (2bar) car is currently running about 470BHP on 1.7 bar i think.

Think it would be worth going to v3/4 coil pack and leads or even better newage coil packs

as banny has said bin the unreliable old style coils packs and put the single coil on or the new age coil packs.

My car is about 450hp at 1.8bar & misfires something rotten at about 6k rpm ... coilpack upgrade is next on my list of potential solutions!

i had the same problem when scooby world was tuning mine up they ended putting one off there car on!!!

Interesting,

How does the new age coilpacks differ from the v3/4 layout? is it the same but just with different insides to the coilpacks?

cheers

Dave

not too sure m8 but if you give scooby world in loughbourgh a bell they will deffo know and be able to get you it they are the dogs dangleys:-)

Dave the v3/4 has the coilpack in the centre of the inlet fannymold with leads to each plug.

Newage has individual coil packs to each plug :thumb:

What's the better solution Banny - V3/4 or newage?

Edit - oops, you do say newage above :o

OK, so how do the newage coilpacks connect? are they the same connecting plugs or is there more to it?

Dave

They will bolt straight on, TX you are one step ahead of me saw your pm ;)

as banny says they will bolt straight on but will need the wiring fettling to run.

iv done this recently, easy to do and very worthwhile. my old style coils were being blown out at 1.3bar now running 1.5bar and its perfect, iv got a set of newage coils for sale if your interested, PM me.

Hi guys,
Its my car in question, thanks for all your replys very helpfull. Think i will def go for newage coils, Thanks for your offer P1 drifter but going to buy brand new so then if my missfire is still there i know its not coils!!!! Thanks again guys

Clarky.

P1Drifter... how much?

Hey, keep orf ;)

i was also told prodrive run the same coils on the WRC cars so they must be pretty decent !

Just fitted the new age coil packs onto my brothers classic running EJ25 and 2.0bar, previously only able to run 1.5 bar without misfiring, and i can confirm the misfiring is completely gone! woohoo! new age coilpacks have done the trick!!

When i upped the boost to 1.5 bar, i had a misfire like you guys are saying. All i did was reduce the plug gap, which cured the problem instantly. Easy! If i ever need to change a pack or two, i might change over too.
