yea i had to take it in to the dealer since i had a code and no laptop on me they used the tech 2 and i was still getting spark jump in number 1 even after cleaning. works right now but i dont want to destroy anything . i dont have the original springs since they did not come out right . thanks Joe i will get back to you on it.

 

So wouldn't that mean you have to replace ONE coil not all four? The dealer is seriously going to rape you...you better get a chastity belt.

 

Mine started idling kinda weird today, I'm hoping they hold up, but now I'm concerned.

 

I'm suspecting an epic fail for this mod.

 

x2

::grabs popcorn::

 

I'm planning on going back to my stock stuff tomorrow night. I hope I can wind the springs up right.

 

do it man, no need to **** up a car, with 6 dollar ****** springs

 

Grabs a beer.

 

yea i would say everyone that bought them go back to stock just in case. number 1 is the worst of the 4 but they all are doing it and you cannot just buy the springs or the boot you need to buy the whole ******* coilpack which is gay.

 

Just buy the non-coated ace springs they're like 4 bucks you just need to cut them a little bit to fit the sleeves.

I think it's the coating that's the problem it just dissolves into a green powder, is that what silver is supposed to do when heated to oblivion?

 

Wow.. this is a disappointment lol. On the ace springs, did you notice a better idle at all?

 

Green powder = copper corrosion. Apparently whatever he used corrodes under high electrical/temperature loads

Got a link to those ace springs? I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Update:
I pulled mine back out and put the stock ones back in. It doesn't look noticeably different where I put the Dielectric grease, but the ends are pretty crispy looking. Luckily the ghetto re coil I did is holding, so I should be set.

 

Um...I can't say because they're pretty much the same springs as factory but thicker. I changed my plugs back to 1 step colder so at least I can say idle is extremely smooth now.

Link=no. I just got my ass into ace hardware checked the bins for something that didn't look too skanky and threw them in and thankfully they fit perfectly by trimming them a little bit. They are .90 cents a pop however. My memory says 540548 but could be wrong.

I don't know about green powder=copper corrosion because I never got that with the stock springs and I'd assume they are copper. Could be but I don't know off hand. Were they copper coated? It was a LOT of powder in each boot.

 

no they were nickle coated copper

 

bump, just wondering if this mod ended up failing

 

pretty sure it did. Worked fine at first but after a few hundred miles....fail.

 

Still have mine in and I have no issues so far. I put about 500+ miles on my car per week...

 

Personally, I swapped back to stock and noticed no real difference in performance. It was a good enough reason for me to leave them out.

I figure if you coat them with the dielectric grease they should last a fairly long while, but the fact that the stock coils lasted 63k with no wear, while these took less than 100 miles to get a little crusty was a bit unnerving.

 

OMG! Shakes head...

Will you try this out and let the rest of us know how it works?

Use it to Twin Charge your Redline! lol

 

dude... teh heaton didnt like that one and sucked it in... WTF?

 

lol that E superchargers dyno graph shows a few hp loss across the board.

 

Wut?

 

I still have mine in and have put about 2000 miles on the car since then. All seems well, although I have had some misfires since then... I'm not sure if it is the coils or not. I might remove them and take a look...

Anyone think it is worth keeping these installed?

 

i love when people buy things that are



1. not needed...
2. not proven product...
3. throw money away...


jmo


that solid piece you replaced was a much better condutor of electricity if you ask me... tisk tisk...

 

See! Dyno Fucken Proven!!!
