2.0T Coilpacks and spark plug gap, trying random new stuff.

[MKllllvr28]

i picked up a set today at the stealership $21 each my cars not running yet but it should be soon i hope.

[Vegeta Gti]

jesus..21 each....thats awesome

[pete@integrated]

I put them in our engine dyno mule and just made 820 bhp with a .025" gap. Biggest single feeler gauge I had

Idle improved a little bit too.

[MKllllvr28]

was there any power difference between the old coils and the new ones?

That's normally how u use em lol. So get this erevlydeux is being a hater in my other thread. Oh and I brought brightgolfs gap to.042 on his plugs and car runs perfect

no spare!!! baahahaha..just a tire emergency repair kit lol, just like an R32 has

[dubinsincuwereindiapers]

Meh.. Sell that then! Hehe! **** it, hit the blood bank breh.. Heck, the blood bank here pays $40 a pop. Good enough for a $40 rock, or a coilpack.. Which one is a better investment is up to you.. The rock might bring ya up from the meds for a few minutes! Lol!

[erevlydeux]

Hit up the blood bank then walk over to the sperm bank, then paypal me and you'll have a full set soon enough.

In other news, no noticeable issues with the black MKV coils. I have my current plugs in there gapped @ .028. Running a stocky K03S @ 16psi so not moving huge amounts of air or anything... but they are still nice. I plan on gapping up to .040 on my fresh new set this week and trying to index them as well. See if I get any noticable improvements... probably not but we'll see.

I have a HV probe/gap tester on le way to my house... and I still need to pick up the red MKV coil and black MKVI coils for testing.

[gdoggmoney]

Anyone want a good UNIX/Windows security/admin guy while we are dishing out jobs? I hate MD and want to move.

AIX to xenix. I do it.

[Brightgolf]

Mine are at .042 an running awesome. We'll see how she runs with the ko4 when I put it on next week. A lot more power down low before turbo. Also no more black unburnt gas flying out my tail pipes. Damn larger injectors

[gdoggmoney]

Yeah...... complete even combustion. I like the way my car sounds now out of boost and in boost. Very throaty.

I have the jetta running again, and I am moving to .050 gap today. If it misfires or anything I am backing it down to .042 again.


Unless someone gets to it first, should be doing this around 7-8pm ET.

Has anyone installed the red coils or compared them in size to the black ones? My parts guy said they were off the v6 motor. DMVdub said he tried v6 coils and they didn't fit. So I'm wondering if anyone actually installed them. Sorry if I missed it but I want to be sure before I lay out the cash

[gdoggmoney]

Info is in the first post. I put some pictures and told people to buy stuff.







Toolfan:

Stick with the Black MKV 07k part # coils. They are a known working good, are cheap and fit fine on a transverse valve cover.

I have the red versions installed in my car, gapped to .040, they work great so either version is good to go I have been beating the piss out of my car trying to get it to hiccup and misfire but so far nothing

[DMVDUB]

if you're referring to me trying the V6 ones, I'm guessing I mentioned somewhere I tried using the coils from stepbrothers S3... They didn't fit whatsoever, way too sketchy. I don't remember if they were just really long or the harness didn't attach either.

no one here is using the v6 coils. they make aftermarket 2.0t red coil. you all need to read the full post.

[Brightgolf]

The s3 coils are completely different as they are from a vr6 which is not a V6... I have red V6 coils sitting in the junk pile out back that I havent tried.

[DMVDUB]

2008 S3 is V6

[05GTIMarine]

2008 S3 is V6

i wanna see pics.

[cincyTT]

2008 S3 is V6

Since they have been using the same motor as a TT and they are still using the 3.2L VR6, im going to doubt this statement.

[Gulfstream]

2008 S3 is V6

There is a US V6 version of Audi S3 ???

[cincyTT]

We only get the A3 with a 2.0T and 3.2 in a 4 door hatch.

[DMVDUB]

Sorry I meant A3 not S3 it's a 3.2 V6Q I always call it an S3 for some damn reason.

[erevlydeux]

Do you happen to have the part numbers for the ones you tried?

[DMVDUB]

Not on hand... My stepbrother doesn't live nearby, but next time I'm at his house I check them out. He may have left his old ones in the shop. If I get time to swing by the house in Potomac I'll see if they're in the shop. If not I'll have to wait until I see him next.
