Does anyone know where to get this in the states?
It's from Japan, upgraded ignition coils for maximas!

Thanks

 

Looks like its for the 2.0L version cefiro

 

No, if you can read Chinese, it is for both 2.0 and 3.0 L engines.
and they dynoed it with 2.0L engine (V6) and gained around 12hp at mid and high end rpm!


The article also mentions somethign about VQ engines are tuned only for stock intake and exhaust. So if u got intake and exhaust, upgrade the ignition for this engine is a Must! It talks about, ppl usually complain about wasting more gas after getting intake and exhaust, they are due to not enough ignition power to go with the upgrade. Stock is ovbious tuned for stock setup!

Very interesting, how many ppl find it true to this?

 

This might be a very good upgrade for Maximas with power adders as well. They can usually use all the sprak they can get.

Plus, it's made by SplitFire...how hard could it be to get them in the US??

 

I don't think it is the same company in US, I think the Splitfire in US is different than splitfire in Japan.

Anyone can confirm this? It looks like they are not even the same companies but they just happen to be the same name!!

I talked to the tech at the store, and he told me that not a lot of companies have ability to make this kind of upgrade for VQ engines, especially in stock form, it is very good already, so in order to make it better than stock, Splitfire really put a lot of effort into it

 

If your factory coils are in proper working order this is awaste of money. The coils will support over 400hp. They work fine for me.

 

Matt...this was what I saw in the magazine.

 

Splitfire is a registered trademark so it might be the same company.

 

I am able to take order for these.

A few years ago I came across these but was unable to find any dealers here int he states. Nice to see someone has picked up the ball. $80 each isnt too bad since a stock one is around $60 I believe. I guess the big question is, do they actually do anything, or are they like crap like their "splitfire" sparkplugs?

 

i dont think the splitfire sparkplugs are crap...... but if this works then we have one more thing for us to add to a mod list

 

the split fire sparkplugs themselves is a scam. well not a scam but just very well marketed. my autoshop teacher told me that it was invented by accident. a mechanic had dropped a spark plug and it landed on the floor and split the electrode in half.

electricity is "lazy" it takes the shortest path to ground, so the electrical arch will only go towards one side, it doesn't split the electric arch into two.

but i don't know anything about the split fire coil packs, those might be good, a group of us will have to buy em' and dyno to see if it really does make a difference.

and to control for errors, we should test brand new oem nissan coil packs along with the split fire coil packs. then again i don't know anyone that would spend the extra money to do that.

 

i got those coilpacks on my car, i just don't get a chance to dyno it yet. i hope to dyno them after my summer internship with baker hughes inteq...

 

a little update on my promised dyno:

I'm arranging to ship this coils to stephen max in austin for him to do the dyno with these coils. he is most knoledgeable and can go much further than i can on getting the real potentials out of these coils. it will be in september when i send them in.

sorry i cannot do it myself as budgeting crisis has come to a very depressed state. i'm buying too much mods at once and am broke after all. sorry guys...

 

I'm interested in these but the link does not work!!! Are these replacement for all six coils or are these like the HKS that amplify the signal to all six coils.

Eric

 

they are completely new coilpacks that'll replace your current ones. they are said to maintain completely consistent spark after 5000rpms that a factory coilpacks will lose and be inconsistent. the upgrade is done by replacing current transistors with stronger ones (enhanced the pnp junction a little more for more voltage potential). while providing stronger electricity supply, it also replaced the insulators with a stronger grade silicone structure. the whold deal is nothing like the HKS amplifyer. It doesn't amplify any signals, it only provide a more consistent signal that a factory coil cannot maintain at higher rpm's and temperatures.

don't worry about the link work. we'll have dyno's to prove its use after september. but before that, anyone willing to gamble like me, you are more than welcome. i spent 550 for a set, and i haven't paid my friend back the money yet. she is gettin really pissed right now. figure the rest...

 

so does this mean that these coils packs wont die after awhile like the stock ones do?

 

This is all that I found on the Splitfire homepage. Am I looking at the wrong place cause it only showed fitment for the VG engine and not the VQ or are they interchangeable????

 

with what they promised and replaced. I would say "yes" they will last longer because of enhancing the silicone insultators. stephen max brought up this issue before saying that the stock coilpacks failed because of the silicone insultators lost their integrity. and these splitfire coilpacks upgraded that to withstaind higher op temp's. so in theory, yes, they will last longer. if there are no gains with these coilpacks, i would still keep these coils on my car because they may last longer than stock. and i do redline my car everyday i drive.

and EZ max, you've found the wrong page.

check this out!!! (the sites I'm posting are in chinese trad "chinese big 5" format. most of you don't know the language anyways, i have already translated most of it in my other posts, go find them)

(this is where i found mine and have someone buy it in taiwan. they will not take american credit cards because the amounts will screw up, and they do not ship out of country to USA either, i've spent more than 8 months communicating with them trying to get them to ship some, but they cannot make it happen)

I am suprised no one mentioned http://www.kennebell.net/accessories...oostaspark.htm

 

am i wrong in saying that the spark booster is only important if you are constantly going over 5k rpm when the coils are supposedly not working at optimal levels??
personally i never find a reason to go above 5k rpm, or 4k for that matter.

 

spark booster are needed if you are able to induce high mass air/fuel into the combustion center. those FI'd guys would need to boost their spark because factory spark isn't stong enough for FI'd application especially boosting over 10 psi's. that's what i know. for N/A applications, I would say that we'll not need to boost the sparks.

 

im using the hks dual high output ignition system and it works fine. got it for about 650 bucks from stillen.

 

People are always so skeptical in the begining. Once they see a dyno they will all change their tune. I would be more interested in seeing a dyno on a NA car than on a supercharged maxima.

 

yeah, a legit dyno will do. i'm sending these packs to stephen max in austin in september. let him have a soundy say about this. i am not 1/10 as wise as he is with these things. so we'll see to it when he helps bring out some dyno's.

 

I am buying these tomorrow, there's an autobacs ten minutes from my house

 

You are going to drop $500 on a mod that hasn't even been proven to do anything yet? Brilliant...

 

Actually it's not even 500 bucks here, it's more like 400..(Plus I get free shipping hahaha) And I talked to someone who told me this will work..Say a certain someone named Frosty =0 Plus I also talked to my friends who live in Japan, one of them has a Cefiro, and yes this does work. Wow so quick to ASSume...When you don't even know my situation..Eh...Typical..

 

I didn't say they don't work, we know they work, cyu1 had them in his car. I'm saying you are dropping $400 on a mod that is not proven to show any gains, when the most knowledgeable person on this .org is going to be testing them to SEE if they show any gains in like a week or two. My point is it's stupid to spend the money on them until they are proven to show any gains. BTW did you sell your car with that nice blue stripe down the side?

 

Yeah he's testing them in September, it says it up there, where did you get two weeks? I didn't know you cared about my money..Wow you're still on that vinyl thing? Must be a long month for you..*Snicker* Either way I am buying these since I'm here. Thanks for caring..You're sucha sweetheart..

 

well, my friend who bought me these coilpacks in taiwan has a few cefiro friends, too, she said there's a bunch of cefiro 2.0's running with the splitfire coilpacks. few ran dyno's and got around 8-12 hp peak. also, power curve becomes smoother. that's what i was told. not many guys with the cefiro 3.0's roll with these coilpacks, those that did only said that they make the acceleration better only if they couple it with k&n filters. well, i think it's because they have just swapped their filters from their old dirty ones.

in my point of view, these packs make my mevi engagement a little firmer, but i wouldn't just claim its gains already. i do feel good that i got these coilpacks on my car, but i do regret paying a total of 550 bucks to get it air shipped and all. bang for the buck? hell no!

those guys with cefiro's in taiwan aren't power mod enthusiasts like us here. in fact, there isn't much mods they can get. no cold air intakes, headers, y-pipes, udp's, heck, they don't even have a decent flywheel or clutch kit for an upgrade. main thing is, those guys complain much about these vq's burn lots of gas and they do not appreciate much from the power department. lots of them said they rather have the car save more gas than getting more hp's. i was disgusted by their psyche's about the vq's.
also, they claimed and i agreed that vq20de's are worthless. those engines are so small in displacement and still a v6 engine, and being a v6, they hardly top off little more than 150 hp's. that's pathetic in my view. i don't see why they even make cefiro's with a 2.0L. those are claimed to be real weak to drive. for that reason, cefiro's are considered crappy in many driver's reviews.

anyways, i'd get it dyno'ed sooner, but i'm buying way too many things this month. this month will mark my 1 year anniversary modding this maxima. i wanted to complete all N/A mods with it before the 30th of this month.

 

Frosty? what does Frosty have to do with these coilpacks. The only reason he's familiar with it is because of me. I show him these puppies on my car.

and Brian, look what have you done? hahaha. I thought we weren't gonna tell anyone about these till we get a dyno that showed good numbers. man, look what you did to this boy. he's gonna take the gamble, too. what a pitty. lol.

still, I'd tell everyone to wait another month or two till some numbers show up with them. or else, you play, you pay.

 

The vinyl thing will forever live in the memories of people in the upper midwest forum. You're famous for that.

I've got a bridge for sale if you are interested...

 

Really wow I feel so honored Nealoc, you dork..Maybe for people who have too much time on their hands to remember pointless **** like you..

Haha he's the one who showed me too!! Haha I am going to be boosting so I will probably see higher gains..Things are cheaper here anyway, at least I'm only paying 400.

 

Riiiiight...

 

This is all I can find on the US Split fire website

http://www.splitfire.com/disystem_nissan.htm

they only have them for the older Mazda Miata and the SR20DET

 

That is the only ones they sell in the US. Why the Mazda and SR coil packs are OK to sell here and the other ones are not is beyond me.

They sell them for the Nissan RB, VG, VQ, CA, and SR engines and the Mazda BP/B6 engine. Although the VQ is not listed on the slitfire Japan website, but I know they sell it for the VQ30, VQ25, and VQ20. The VQ35 has a different style coil packs so they are out of luck for this.

 

does anybody know the difference between the hks high igniton that i have and the ones posted besides the price. they work with any nissan car but not sure if theres any significant gain, or notice any difference besides people telling me it helps with boost by creating a hotter spark. havent did a dyno but when i do i will try with and without to see if theres any difference.

 

BAS and the HKS is a voltage booster which just gives higher voltage to the coil packs.

These replace the all of coil packs with supposedly higher performance ones. Splitfire themselves claim a gain on the top end on an NA car. Boosted should definitely see gains. I am going to wait for the dyno, but I do plan on buying these unless the dyno disproves these work.

 

BAS does help with spark blow out.
