In my head, coilpacks getting overheated is the issue. Having a ceramic coated or wrapped header may help this issue. (I'm still searching for a JDL 4-2-1). If i have more issues this year, I'm just gonna get those coilpacks and then report back!

Mike at csg mentioned these did not help.

More specifically, I recommend the IP Plasma. Skip their quad spark coil packs.

I’m testing a set of the Delicious coilpacks. Put them in today and fitment was good. Did a quick drive and no problems so far.

I drive mainly track (91 oct) and canyons (e85) with my FRS. My last cylinder 1 coilpack was OEM and lasted 2000 miles to give some context. In addition to a few cylinder 1 coilpacks, I’ve also had to replace a cylinder 2 coilpack.

I’ll update this thread with how these hold up. Delicious said they would consider making revisions based on my data so they seem pretty interested in offering a durable solution that will hold up to track/e85 use.

Why not run e85 at the track? No flex fuel?

Yep no e85 near the track and I'm using a straight e85 tune.

To update this, I believe my issues are now not coilpack related. My misfire/stuttering only happens at one specific track during a high G left hand turn. Thus, I'm thinking my problem will be solved with this: https://www.verus-engineering.com/sh...e=2&category=1

I've purchased this fuel door and will report back here if I get any luck. This may help others with a "misfire" like symptom.

Things are going well with these Delicious red coilpacks. I'm at 2000 miles so at least these beat my last OEM coilpack replacement.

I logged for misfires on my canyon drive yesterday. Total driving time was 3.5 hrs. The canyon portion was entirely 4500-7500 rpm. Some highway cruising in the 3000-3600 rpm band. No misfires on cylinders 1-4. This is with a tweaked OFT E85 tune and oem 2017 header.

I've got a couple of track days coming up in the next 2 months. Will update afterwards.

PulsarBeeerz · 06-06-2021, 09:18 PM

I've run the Delicious tuning coilpacks along with NGK spark plugs for 5-6k so far. 93 and E85 no issues. They will see FI use here in the next couple months. I went through 3 OEM coilspack from 3 different cylinders. haha

Update on the Delicious red coilpacks:

The last two canyon days, I started seeing moderate FLKC (approximately -4 degrees) in the 6500-7500 RPM band in my logs under full load. Well today my engine finally threw a P0353 code in the canyons, so looks like the cylinder 3 coilpack went bad.

It's been 3.5 months / 3,200 miles since I put in these Delicious red coilpacks. Have been using E85 exclusively and probably a dozen fairly hard canyon days (245 F peak oil temps with Perrin oil cooler).

I'll contact Delicious on Monday and see what they recommend.

DarkSunrise · 10-16-2021, 01:25 AM

Realized I forgot to update this thread. Delicious sent out a set of replacement coilpacks. These look slightly different than the first set. The black plastic changed from matte to shiny. There are green streaks inside the rubber tubing. The red plastic is a bit more orange. Not sure if these are just cosmetic differences or anything changed inside.

It’s too early to give any conclusions (only 1300 miles) but so far they’ve survived a track day at Buttonwillow on 91 octane and a few canyon days on e85. Hoping these will make it past 3200 miles.

Updates?

So, I did my first track day in my 2013 FRS yesterday. Ambient temps were pretty mild, at around 70 degrees. I logged oil temp and water temp via Torque, and saw oil temps in the 230 range at peak (I have an oil cooler) and water temps a hair above 200.

During my last session I had 2 issues with engine hesitation, both in the same place, at the top of 4th gear. It felt like the engine had died....no power at all. At first I thought it felt like a dropped valve and the engine was toast. No CEL. After a few seconds, the car picked back up again and felt totally normal. Is this likely a coil pack issue (see video below)?

Car has ~100k miles, and I have no idea if the coil packs (or plugs for that matter) have ever been changed. My plan is to replace the plugs and coil packs with the IP units, but want confirmation this is likely to help before spending the $$
