hi there... since i am still doing my s13 rb25det conversion, a question has occured...

my mechanic told me that i need an spark plug amplifier (ignator ? ) because without it the engine wont run... now mine from the s13 and CA18DET wont work because its 4 cylinder...

but the person who sold me the rb25det says that he was running it without anything like this...

thanks,

nick

the pict explains

There is a detailed writeup in the faq on how to use the updated J30 ignitors. Or if you really want to you can try to find a used ignitor.

whats an ign amp?

if your engine doesnt have that, and it did run, its a Series II.

...what dekand said

its that its built into the coil.
