Super Spark Coils

Posted on 25th August 2008 by Daryl in Electronics

Hey everyone we have just ordered our Super Spark Coils for our Project VL below is a blub from there Website. We have just added the coils to the store for sale. Vist Reckless Motor Sport

Performance
Dyno Graph R33 Comparison

During our extensive testing and development period we headed off to Mercury Motorsport in Brisbane to see how our SuperSpark™ coils compared against the old Nissan factory items. The results were outstanding, with the Super Spark coil packs achieving a whopping 14rwkw gain during the rev range and at peak power 6kw at the wheels. Not to mention a much smoother power delivery and reduced fuel consumption.

Dyno Graph GTR Comparison

Dean from High Performance Imports traveled down to JEM in Sydney to tune his Nissan R32 GTR skyline. With the modifications the GTR had so far it was only capable of reaching 355kw (shown in green on the dyno graph) at all four wheels with 19psi of boost due to ignition break down. After fitting SuperSpark™ coil packs Dean was able to turn the boost up from 19psi to 22 psi without any ignition break down. This resulted in a peak power difference of 20.7kw at all four wheels!

Without SuperSpark™ ignition coils the tune and power level would not be possible as the standard items were breaking down at the lower boost settings.
