HKS Twin spark install - with pictures!

[DMDRIFTING]

Hi,

have had a look for intall pictures on the FD3S, of the HKS Twin Spark ignition amplifier?

Has anybody got any would help me and more people with future installs and maybe save any problems?

Thank you

[DMDRIFTING]

Can anyone confirm?

That this unit is spliced between the existing igniton amplifier and coil packs, and not a direct replacement for the existing amplifier?

Im sure im reading it correctly!




Thank you in advance! :cheers

yeah it splices in, but seriously save yourself the hassle and get the wiring harness for it, it makes it a 5 min job (and four of those are deciding where to fit the thing!)

I got the harness kit of re-worx. Makes job extremely easy. The splice option looked near on impossible with the confined area.

There are some photos and threads floating around the forum. If you get the harness it\'s really easy

Get the harness dude :Thumbsup!

Hi, are these really necessary for fd\'s under 500bhp?

as above get the harness then its a simple 10 minit plug and play job
Dont think there is any benefit on a none high bhp car unless you run water/meth injection like i do as you will deffo benefit from a stronger spark with the dampening effect of the water.

ive never thought about it in that way, ive always thought a better spark is better for higher horsepower cars but never really thought of a link to water injection

I fitted water/meth inj and had a mild drop off in power as i dont tune for water/meth i only use it for saftey, installed a HKS twin spark and the car returned to its former glory

Carl reckons I\'m running 80 over stock and it made all the difference to mine

[DMDRIFTING]

I would agree the Harness would be the way to go. Are they still around the £15 mark?

Hey thanks all for your help.

Sourced all relevant wires, and ended up splicing the HKS Twin Spark into them, very simple no need to remove anything. All is fine and the car pulls much more responsively!

I\'m running a standard FD3S, with the non sequential turbo set up. Now don\'t need to change down a gear when travelling up hills at slow speeds!

For those interested in my reason for installing this:

After running into a second lap at the the Nurburgring (15 mins hard driving) the car would become hesitant on boost?

Would leave it for 10 mins, then back out to the ring and the car would be fine again, back on for second lap and halfway round problem would be return?


After speaking with Matt and Tim @ RXmotors I had been advised that this is what I would need!

All on a ready for this years trip back to the ring, after a few open pit lanes here in the UK of course!


Thank you all

The LED light is on as it should be but not brilliantly bright, does anybody know if this is normal?

[strange_days_uk]

wouldn\'t worry about that
