when you dyno increase the plug gap--you now have the power to handle that. that is if you are running bar plugs

I have RX7 Trailing and Stock Leading. So far so good.

I am not trying to make the car into a monster anyway - just a respectable street car.

 

Sure

The darkside beckons..............

 

Which no one producing any respectable power would risk doing.

 

On the leading anyway

 

Well, the risk is the greatest there because of the plug hole size and depth.

 

I got lost to what everyone was talking about since page 3 .... toomuch randomness!

Question -- being that these babies have more bang ...

What is the increased amp draw?

IF possible - amps stock (all 4) vs. Amps BHR Coils (all 4)

 

lol ya me too, and I ordered my almost two weeks ago it’s ok though, it’ll all be worth it soon

 

Just as an aside...these LS2 coils can be run at constant charge for 15 min...and still survive These things are kick ***......It was hot enough to cook an egg...but it still works

 

Finally had a good day to install my coils! I did it in my driveway. Install took me about 2.5 hours, but I also removed the airbox in order to make more room for myself, which meant i needed to disconnect the MAF sensor and Vfad vacuum lines that are attached to it.

You will have to forgive the ultra narrow depth of field on some of these shots. I'm still getting used to this new camera.

Charles, you're probably going to want to take a look at if the Stupid useless bracket can be removed. It would make installing far easier and resolve clearance issues on 07's without having to modify your own design. I also found that plug wires 1 and 3 were a bit on the short side, and 2 and 4 a bit on the long side, making it nearly (but not completely) impossible to get the plug wires into the OEM wire loom (like I give a rats *** if they fit in the loom or not).

Could be the coils, could be the plugs, could be a faulty butt dyno, but the car feels FANTASTIC now. It used to like to lug and do a herky jerky thing when i didn't give it enough gas starting out in first and that's completely gone. I did disconnect the battery during my install and had no problems with any sort of rough idle, top end power seems nice and smooth too.

For refference, I've got an 07 touring, MT, no intake/exhaust/power mods.

 

Ah, so that's what that is. Duly noted, but I like calling it a stupid useless bracket instead.

If I'm ever tearing apart my engine bay again I might take it out, but I'm lazy and it doesn't cause any real problems.

 

Installed today... besides performance it Gave my 8 a totally different tone with what I'm running.....
Even my pops, was like damn....And he's an old school hot rod guy.....
Love it, bring on satan's hairdryer...

 

finally got my set last week,and installed by myself.After the install once I first start up my engine.I noticed that the engine sounds different then usual.when I rev it it seems the respond is faster.I did a couple redline from 2nd and 3rd gear.my car seems like get more power then before.....my car is really happy rite now.run that's the best mod I can noticed the different.even though it's not a power mod.I recomment this kit to everyone.

 

It can't be 100% till I get a set.


With that said, I foresee by the end of 2009, people installing OEM coils just to be different.

 

i wants mine

one day... one day....

it is great to hear all these positive reviews though. defianantly will be worth the wait.

 

I'm going to have to get Leo and Dave to distract Socket one day at our weekly meets. I figure 30 mins or so to yank those out and then another hour to put them in my car!

They look great socket, and loved the pics with the write up!

 

damned... all these good reviews.... i hope charles will get my kit soon ^^ i barely can't wait to put these masterpiece into my 8.

If you read this .. my money want to travel charles :D

 

Nice pics Socket.

Did you use dielectric grease on your plugs wires? Noticed that's not listed. While it is probably considered 'optional' it's definitely recommended.

 

I didn't even think of it. There wasn't any on the stock plug wires and after 22k there was no corrosion at all.

If I still lived in Boston, yeah I'd do it. but I'm to lazy to pull it apart now and put some on.

 

This is what I like to see. Everybody's Happy.
I'm getting a little misty now,,

 

So I've gone through 2 tanks of gas now. The problems that I've been having have only gotten worse. The car takes around 10 seconds to turn over. The car generates no power under boost and is misfiring again. My EGT goes up like its on a mission to take out the turbo. Disconnected everything, checked wire resistance, and plugged everything back in. Same problem. This kit is coming out of my car tomorrow and I'm going to order a set of stock coils. Screwing around with this kit any longer is not worth blowing something.

 

Wow - that is a first.

Did you check the standard stuff (ground, plugs, wires, AFR, Cat, MAF etc)? Everytime I have any turbo related drama it tends to be one of those.

 

wow, definitely a first.
did you ground it properly?
This might sound trivial: but are you sure the wires are going to the right plugs?

 

Coils shouldn't cause slow turning over...maybe slow starting

What does misfiring " again" mean...sounds to me like you have another problem

Swap stock back in to ensure...and then go looking for the problem from there..

 

Definitely don't push the car if it's not running properly.

Going back to stock sounds like a good idea, if only to verify if the new coils are part of the issue or not. I would suspect the issue is either with your install being wrong or unrelated to the coils. Don't you have your old coils handy instead of buying a new set?

Are you running a cat? high egt if the fuel isn't sparking doesn't add up.
