Very nice manifold there!! Are you running a screamer pipe for that gate or back to the exhaust system? Please say screamer pipe

Out with the old in with the new.
Did a complete overhaul on the PPG Dog Box, threw a spare stock 5 speed in their while I was doing the overhaul on the other box. After a half season gears looked brand new. Refreshed with all new berings,

Nismo 4.63 Ring and Pinion:
Perfect match for the ratio's in the PPG box. Really wakes the car up.

Thanks very much, ran it out for a day then routed it back since the car still sees alot of time on the street. But i've had the itch lately to route it back out, we'll see. =)

Thanks again for the comments.

Well when you see it in person it's much beefier than the OE unit, and also has a relay that is attached directly to the battery to pull extra amps when needed. I was having some mis-fire issues when I started to run some real boost, and it turns out that 15's are notorious for this problem due to the coil packs. In my research I found that several of the "hard core" 15's out their usually end up running some other sort of ignition set-up, like switching to S14 ECU and coilpacks. Since Yashio Factory has several S15 customers they found it easier to come up with their own solution in this harness.

I didn't do a before and after dyno but, with my mis-fire issue it made a drastic improvement.

I'm headed back to the dyno so maybe i'll do a test on it, but it's evident it's an improvement over the stock unit.

Lookin good Paul!

What about some Splitfire coilpacks? Pretty sure they put out higher amps to give a stronger spark. Good for those high boost/high rpm motors.

Thanks very very much.

I've heard nothing but bad things about the Splitfire coilpaks. I know their notorious for causing problems with GTR's but not sure about SR.

New packs are defently in the line up but figured I see if I can correct the problem with some cheaper options first.

When I go that route, I'll go with the Okada Projects coil packs or new set of OEM units.

Really? I know of a handful of SR guys runing them and no probs yet.

I hadnt heard any derogatory at all

Splitfires are pretty famous in oz as well but that's because it's cheaper to replace it with splitfires than stock coilpacks. Splitfires are known to cause problem if you are running lots of boost.

That's when msd and the likes starts to get into the equation

They sould be lighter. These are almost 4.5lbs lighter / rotor then the standard GTR rotors.

-9lbs of rotating weight +purple hats = :thumbs: &
