That sounds like it should work. I would really hate to cut the valve cover because I like the look of it on the motor. But it stores alot of excess heat and that's is what causes the coil packs to break down. One day Ill find a way to make it vented so I can have the clean look again.

Holy cow it's been over a month without an update:
Got some new parts... the car has been giving me some problems and im tired of it so I'm just going to replace a bunch of ****. High rpm breakup and sputtering with hard starts is getting real annoying.
Innovate wideband to tell me what's going on
Stock rb coil packs blow
Buick Grand National Coil Retrofit
Z32 Ignitor swap
Diagram for all of you interested in replicating this setup.
Ordered Walbro 255, Nismo AFPR, Summit Guage, New Z32 filter and new hoses... all i have recieved in the mail thus far is my pump
Going to order some D-werks 550cc's on monday. I'm starting to believe my stockers are crapping out due to fuel residue on intake runners and large amounts of unburned fuel exiting the exhaust on startup.
And im broke again. My income tax returned lasted literally 30 minutes.

You've been racing the wrong rb20's..
I'm shooting for a solid 250 whp after i get started tuning.. been having lots of problems. I had a chip burned to run 550s and 14psi, but i had to put that on hold until all my bugs are worked out. I'm starting to think a few of my injectors are crapping out on me, so i ordered my injectors today.
Need to invest in a gasket kit pretty soon lol. There aint no way in hell im replacing these injectors without taking the intake off.

I talked to vu at frsport and got it for 125 shipped. retail is like 119 plus shipping for the regulator.
I'm going to drive the car for a few more days and see how the coil does, make sure it's running 100% before i throw on my fuel stuff.
So far ive drove the car 3 days and zero mis-fires from the grannational coil pack!!! Best upgrade so far.
Got to pick up some bcpr6es ngk plus.. these plugs are a hair too cold for low boost.
