Coil Pack Testing
Re: Coil Pack Testing
Interesting report there gtrboy thanks. On a mate's V6 we removed old MSD coils and fitted yellow jackets with a noticeable gain. They've aged a bit now so might look to upgrade this way to. Thanks

Re: Coil Pack Testing
The gorst are better value at $60 if you have time to wait for them...delphi coils were in stock $80-90 & finding most issues with vp ute caused by non-genuine items even though parts tested within specs like the yellow jackets.

Re: Coil Pack Testing
the 2 dead MSD's ive tested when they die they dont die like factory coils they still output 30mm of spark or so compaired to 10mm of a dead N/A coil, which is enough to keep a N/A going happy with a miss here and there, So without testing you wouldn't really know. In general reading and talking to a few people in conversations about coils MSD's seem to generally have a bad wrap because of the failure rate and also splitting open, perhaps something they've tried to fix in the latest Revision, time will tell.

How did you go?L67PSI wrote:These are some pics of the Ali Express - Gorst Coils that The1 linked to earlier. I got them in 18 days from China to Perth. $60 and change delivered to the door.
I've put them on my modded VT L67 Calais. I plan on opening up the spark plug gap from 1.1mm to stock 1.3mm and see how it performs.
Re: Coil Pack Testing
I need to replace radiator in Mrs car first, then get onto this. Will keep everyone posted.
Re: Coil Pack Testing
I fitted a new set of NGK BPR6EF-13 into my VT L67 today. It pays to check the gaps as they were all approx 1.2mm. Gapped them all to 1.3mm and will test it out.

Re: Coil Pack Testing

Re: Coil Pack Testing
ZZP have released a new coil also.
They say it's a high output. Most likely just like the MSD ones.
Be good to test one of them also
