FishWick 21 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I agree. I love playing with standalones but as you say, not everyone has the patience for them!The original cams have VW markings on them, aftermarket ones don't, which is pretty much your only clue to be honest mate. OE cams also just look better quality too, if that makes sense? The shaft casting is smoother and and the machined surfaces look better too. Also if you look at the cam lobes, the tips on original cams are very mild compared to aftermarkets. Link to post Share on other sites

FishWick 21 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Looks good mate, good luck with that! Let me know how it goes :-)I'm not sure about the LS2 coils, especially if they're MSD ones. Don't run them at any more than 2.5ms dwell as they don't like it. I would try a Ford V6 coilpack. Reliable and very strong spark! Link to post Share on other sites

FishWick 21 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Oh yeah, I forgot you run a lot of boost! :-)So you're using the single coils like these? - http://www.msdignition.com/product.aspx?id=5113Let me know how they go! £40 each isn't too bad with built in amps.What plugs are you using? Bill Schimmel ran 35psi (GT45R) on stock coilpakc, 2ms dwell with no spark issues. NGK R5671A-9 plugs @ 0.022" gap. Link to post Share on other sites

FishWick 21 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 5ms dwell is a little too much mate. I run 3ms and have no trouble with spark strength :-) Link to post Share on other sites
