Was probably LSx coils that you saw. You can do those or buick grand national coils. There are several write ups on how to do them around here. Good luck and welcome to NICO!

do to lack of funds this took a while, but i got my Ls2 coils and plug wires, and i got them installed, the hole thing was ALOT simpler then i thought it would be, it only took about an hours worth of work to make my harness from scratch i had to buy my coil connectors all separate as my coil packs didnt come with a harness, no big though.
it fired right up the first time too!
so now on to my other issues, it idles around 1100-1450 and when i mash the gas it goes to 2600ish and pops/bogs like in limp mode but if i feather the throttle till 3k it will run to 9k like normal, the ecu kicks code 55 (all clear) like noth'ns wrong, i checked the timing of my spark(pulled 1 plug at a time put finger in hole and watched for spark while compression and thats all gravy)
changed mafs with a bud of mine(stock rb20det mafs) nothen changed, his car runs like a raped ape so i know his maf is good,
i got proper voltage flux with the TPS = good (i can watch that with my safc under monitor sencer mode)
some one told me it could possibly be the AAC(cant find one any where,rawbrok is back ordered for more then 6 months), the Coolent Temp senc, or the Air Regulator.( what cars use the same as a 92 rb20det?)
i bought an fsm book from nissan of japan (and yes you need to tell them you want english )i paid a cool 98$ plus 18$ for shipping
only to find that its ALMOST the same as the 1 i downloaded for free (i'm such a duche) :tisk: and for everything under the sun it says to use the nissen consult, if i had a lack of funds for my coil kit then its gonna take a MUCH longer time to scratch up the 1800$ for the CHEEP(hahahahahaha) one of them. :cry:
any INTELLIGENT help would be awsome
in ex: +/- voltage/ohms for things under the hood, things that dont cost as much as the motor itself to test (like the nissan consult)
thank you for your time
