Technical Eldor coils vs PR Coils
- Thread starter General.Massacre
- Start date
They show they have a set up for some aftermarket intakes as well. They list BMP, BMS, BKC, and Sharp CUstoms. Not sure what intake you have or if you would attempt to switch at this point. But at least others thinking of converting to them might have one less headache when changing plugs.
Remove the bracket hold down screws and move the whole thing out of the way. That and making things pretty (cable management) on the reinstall, probably 10-20 min additional. Not an issue if it's a 1-2x a year thing.
^^^ As He said, I was chasing a misfire this week and was thinking something bad was happening or I damaged something.
PR's where a breeze to take on and off.
Without the PR coils I would have been thinking it must be electrical or something to do with plugs or mechanical damage.
Ended up being the local fuel company being cheapskates most likely due to covid-19 to save money because of the low fuel prices thus lowering the fuel quality.
Before I could run 24 - 26psi with no timing corrections, now I cant even run 22 psi without misfiring.
I was running around on e20 but had to raise it to e50 to subdue the misfires.
The whole point to the story is, no matter what you throw at the PR's it will never be them but something else if you develop an issue, its set and forget.

Oh yeah I see that. Didn't mean intake manifold, I have a hybrid ram/cone filter intake l with rear turbo fed by a aFe Momentum GT box in the stock intake position.
Dunno if that would fit with the cold side coil rail.
Worth asking them though I think.
Maybe @V8bait has an answer for something I noticed. I'm running PR coils newest version and run a JB4 with BEF 2step and NLS. I reflashed after the install with the PR coil check box enabled and no misfires and timing is spot on during pulls across the board but my 2step is pops much louder and stronger in less frequency and my NLS doesn't seem to activate like it used to. Is this due to a voltage change from the DME after enabling it in MHD? Would unchecking it revert everything like it used to? thanks
my 2c as a casual student using mainly google DIY's, using the oldest version of the PR coils with the older wires and direct coil connection (no plug-play connector style) caused my 6th cyl wires to catch fire recently while diagnosing misfires. Gilbert from PR seemed sure that it stemmed from wire shielding breaking apart over time and sparking when the wires touched each other. At that point I was pretty set on going back to OEM pencil coils as I don't have a tune setup that demands the extra voltage from the PR setup anyways, but Gilbert cut me a major deal on new wires that would be cheaper than reordering the OEM coils. Time will tell if this happens again, but for the time being I'm going to try cutting off the option of PR coils in MHD as I'm wondering if this hurt the DME considering bad battery management fried my FRM for the second time this year anyways.
PR coils have problems, but at least PR seems willing to update their product to address problems that arise with use on N54.
