Recently bought a used Twinpower unit. Turns out it has a "grounding" issue. Not sure if its the harness but I think the issue is with the unit itself. I plugged everything up and grounded the ground wire to the ground on the LIM. When I fired up my 8 it ran horrible and smelled of fuel. I shut it off immediately and uninstalled the Twinpower. I noticed while the car was running the red light on the TP unit wasn't lit. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a rebuild or should I just junk the unit and get a replacement. The harness looks fine and the wire color coding looks appropriately wired according to the writeup instructions here.

 

throw it away

and search

 

Wouldnt it be better to just go to a cobb ap with BHR coils or something like that?? same thing kinda if you set the cobb for the coil system right? or am I missing something with the HKS Twin Power???

 

This is the same thing? You should win an award

 

Lol. thought so.. I was talking to a guy who has an RX8 and he said he put on the cobb AP with some BHR Coils and also had the HKS Twin Power etc..... I thought to myself that it was kinda redundant and forgot about it until i saw this post... So I just wanted to ask so it adds up to what I was seeing in my head movies...

 

Kinda what I figured.. Guess it makes a cool looking paper weight now tho. Can't complain. I got it dirt cheap.
