What is the advantage of upgrading your coil pack? The only thing I could possibly think of is slightly less weight, unless your previous one is broken I don’t see a reason to do this. He could of made his car faster by using that money on a sawzaw and cutting off anything unimportant. Any money spent on this would have been better spent towards something meaningful like high quality tires, proper racing suspension, bigger breaks that can’t hold more heat before getting spongy or mods that actually change how much power your producing forced induction, exhaust, injectors, fuel pump, fuel rail, ITB’s etc….

If you’re going to track your car, don’t paint any part under hood. The heat will make the paint come off and it will look ugly. Also the only thing you need for a track prep is an oil cooler. Use high temp engine oil, brake fluid, diff fluid. Unless you’re changing the internals on the engine. The stock parts will do just fine. No need to upgrade the coil packs. You won’t see any gains. You’re better off spending your money on tires and changing all the fluids before and after the track day. You don’t need to upgrade your suspension unless you are going to compete. Then as you gain more skill slowly upgrade suspension as you see fit. As for aftermarket parts. Just get a race bucket seat and cage. I recommend taking out the passenger seat. Don’t gut your interior unless you already have the money for a quality roll cage. You don’t even need an exhaust. Just cut out a small section from the cat to the muffler. Ask a shop to make you a removable section. That way you can bolt it back in when ur not riding the track. These are just some things I learned along the way from experience. It will save you a ton of time and money. Don’t fall for marketing’s the car will eventually get trashed. So don’t worry about looks or brand names.

Solder, and especially low melting point solder becomes more brittle each time it warms up then cools down. Every connector on your car is crimped, not soldered for that reason. You have likely created a failure point that will be fun to diagnose in the future when one of the wires kinda starts to not make reliable contact under certain operating conditions.

I think they won't do a damn thing for your performance unless your original coils were going bad or faulty. They certainly won't add any performance without tuning for say a turbocharger or supercharger where might be able to be more aggressive on the ignition timing. Otherwise maybe they will add a bit got reliability. Something like these would be nice for my car but since it's a flat engine they would be a real PITA to install, basically requiring the engine to be lifted first for access.

@DNightNinja 5 ай бұрын

So honestly if you’re going for a track car you should be crimping. Motorsport wiring is done with open barrel crimps and quality adhesive lined heatshrink. Most harness builders would recommend raychem for the heatshrink but you can get by without. Ideally you should really only be using solder sleeves when splicing in a single wire to an another parallel wire in orientation for grounding a shielded wire. When dealing with track temperatures condition and potential bending of where the solder sleeve or soldered joint are, the solder can cause the joint to become stiff since solder wicks down into the wire. If you bend it it can break. Then if the solder didn’t penetrate right you could have a short. I wouldn’t want something like a coil pack failing from a short.
