split fire?

[-rip it up s13-]

hey i was lookin into uprgraded ignition for my sr.. i found this system from split fire ignition and it comes with all the new coil packs but is quite pricey like $600.. i also heard about the msd one too but idk what would you guys recomend??

[yokotas13]

i paid 300 for mine for my Stagea

i think retai lis only like 400 bucks????

i like them, noticed a slight improvement in fuel economy???

[-rip it up s13-]

really?? iv never heard of stagea. um how much power can the stock coil packs hold up to without needing more spark?

[EAT Motorsports]

split fire is good i personally think that Osaka Project Coils are the best each coil has its own amplifire and multi spark... etc but they are also alot more expensive....

[usdm180sx]

stagea is a car

[brndck]

never heard of a stagea? lol! o well, splitfires are a good upgrade, but $600? fuck that. took me 10 seconds on yahoo to find em for $400 or less. nengun.com has em for $360.
http://www.nengun.com/splitfire/super-direct-di-ignition-system
ebay for $400
(no i'm not going to put an ebay link, i know better).

[Kuzumi]

don't buy through nengun. :aw:
they charge almost 25% of the item cost in shipping

[Neo Yakra]

for real... ^good warning^...

split fucked?

Why? not a big fan. you could put the money towards other much more important stuff.

I never had an issue with stock ignition system up to 450whp. Plenty of people have used it to 550.

If you bought into believing its a power upgrade you also must have down syndrome.

Check your stock system and make sure it's grounded properly.

yeah

whatver

If I upgrade I'm going to go to LS1 Coils :boink:

[brndck]

good to know that about nengun. i've never bought from them before, but i fucking hate it when sellers try to rip you in shipping. =( and to shadows- everyone i've talked to who runs a haltech runs ls1 coils and loves em.

[-rip it up s13-]

really:) i didnt know that! what kind of mods do you have to do to the ls1 coils to make them work on the sr??

[ECR33S14]

Never had a problem with nengun. i got my coilpacks for 440 shipped for a series II RB25DET and have ordered through them twice.

[unicoladron]

dude, stop with the ls1 and splitfire coils. either use the current coils you have, or source a set of good used ones, or better yet, purchase brand new oem coils, which you can find easily from a few places online.

there is nothing wrong with your stock sr coils, put your money towards other mods. but if you find they are actually faulty, get new/used oem ones.

[-rip it up s13-]

alright thx. yea i was just wondering cuz i didnt know when you needed more spark power wise. so ill just keep stock

[SusanR34]

I have the splitfire on my car. I did have an increase in power, and was able to stabilize my ignition and timing better thru tuning (ApexiPFC). I wouldn't recommend them for stock application because of the cost, but on a fully built set up, they do help.

incorrect
a new coilopack for an RB is 140.00 from nissan or so
its cheaper to buy an entire new set of Splitfires, than OEMs

plus the splitfires arent proce to failing

[blownmotor]

Osaka Projects? you mean OKADA Projects I have them. EXPENSIVE but saved me gas and smoothed out high RPM choppiness

[nissan240sxkid]

stock coils have suported over 800 hp on sr's but from having the splitfires also...they are nice, gives you that warm fuzzy feeling from havin a upgraded part. dude for you build good plugs and correct gap along with maybe a ground strap kit and you will have other issues to worry about than ignition.

[-rip it up s13-]

i really dont wanna sound like an idiot but iv heard of the ground strap kit but what exactly is it??

[nissan240sxkid]

it adds multiple drounds instead of just the 2 on the motor

[-rip it up s13-]

oh.. well can you guys help me out with doing that or gimme a link that sows how??:)

qutoed for troof, the only way i'd buy them is for the above reason. Nissan coilpacks are ridiculously expensive (i dunno maybe thats just here), you might as well go aftermarket

that being said, i've still only used stock haha

yeah i wasn't saying all new OEM would be cheaper than splitfires, but it doesn't sound like the OPs coils are bad. IF all of my coil packs failed at the same time, i personally would just pickup the splitfires also.

i am aware that the OEM nissan coils would be very costly if purchasing all new ones, but 240sxmotoring appears to be selling oem SR20DET coils for 70 bucks.

the OP just needs to clean up his grounds, and verify his coilpack wiring and probably get new plugs.

[bloodangels13]

I got my splitfire setup from phase2 for 403 shipped... not all that bad considering i dd my s13 beside trackdays and i dont wanna get screwed over by have a 12 year old coil pack go bad... i have like 3 sets of oe coilpacks but id rather replace with new. I drove my car the same say before and after the splitfire install the car runs smoother, pulls stronger, idles steadier. i deem it a worth while upgrade ..... worth the money as much more then buying Ti eghuast Vs. stainless or buying pointless engine bay acc.

oh... im just using my stock ones untill they give out thx guys :)
