Now that some of the italian group buyers installed those beauties i can write a couple of lines.
The kit itself looks great, the installation process is straight-forward everybody is enjoying the increased response and the better gas\mileage at the moment.
The guys that already have fresh oem coils didn't notice better start-ups, and their fuel efficiency increased slightly (when with worn coils of approx 30-50.000km it was very noticeable), throttle response is wonderful compared to both new and old\worn coils.

On a sidenote, not concerning the coils: I had some problems with my Customs since Charles shipped 2 packages to me, one with the coils and a waterpump and another one with his flywheel. They thought i was going to import this stuff illegally and wanted some proof of the purchase. Charles helped me thoroughly sending me all the needed documentation and i received the second box today.
Way to go BHR!

Now that I got my BHR coils installed I wanted to tell you guys what I thought of them.

One thing I noticed right away was my car sounded differently. In a good way!! :)

The next thing I noticed was power delivery was silky smooth and felt like I gained tons of HP. I already know this is not a HP mod but I am thinking if my mazsport coils were not working properly this would make sense why my car felt so slow for a turbo8. I only managed a best time of 14.2 @ 98mph with 1.9 60ft and my boost was set at 9psi.

Overall this is the best mod I have ever done and I am extremely greatful for the BHR team for making such a fantastic product!!!

Is it better this way? the waterpump that Charles politely offered to buy for me (with my money :lol: ) in order to ship it with the other stuff i bought from him, saving me dozens of dollars of shipping :banghead:

Easy_E1 12-13-2008 10:55 AM

They weren't available at the time.

I want to publicly say "Thank you" to the customer/forum member (he knows who he is) that sent those to me, free of charge, along with some other cool stuff. I will cherish the other stuff and proudly include the stickers in future BHR product purchases. He also spruced-up the logo a bit and it was a really nice improvement, too.

If I had a BHR sticker I'd stick it to a JERRV, I'll trade you a slightly used South African 155 for it :lol2:

ShellDude 12-14-2008 09:38 AM

too cool... if I get one -- an extra one -- with my order I'll forward it on, just say the word!

I forgot how big those things were....I had hot cocoa in the back of one driving through Falluja on new years day; war is hell.

Yup, she's my 30 ton life saver. I havn't been popped in this truck yet but there is one at Balad named Bam Bam that saved my ass. She got the scars and I got to live.

I actually saw one of those that got hit in 2006 down there and everyone inside was fine and the vehicle only had front damage to it from the mine that it hit. I'm personally always stuck riding in the humvees and the Armored Mambas.

WantedTwo 12-15-2008 11:44 AM

Ray, I'm sorry for getting this so far off topic :(

I've seen a JERRVs get hit with probably 150lbs of HE under the rear axels. The blast blew off both rear axels and the truck was still able to DRAG itself out of the kill zone with just the front axel. The only injury was a broken arm and that was caused by the radio rack breaking loose from its bolts and hitting one of the guys. It's a hell of a truck.

sorry again ray.

canaryrx8 12-19-2008 06:25 PM

I think that JERRV needs some of these on side :D:

I think the sticker would look a lot better if the black part was clear
so only the BHR and halo are visible.

anyone got dyno slips for this product?

05rex8 12-20-2008 11:42 PM

it's not a HP mod...

no gain?

05rex8 12-20-2008 11:49 PM

don't know, don't think anyone has done a dyno with it yet. It's more so a reliability mod. There may be some HP increase or better throttle response as a nice "side effect." Also depending on the condition of your current coils, you may or may not notice these "side effects."

I know with my BHR ignition, I noticed more than anything was a very smooth idle.
