View Full Version : Need some people to test some stuff

Hey folks -


Among many things that I do, one of them is consulting work. I recently ran across some products that I feel would be greatly beneficial to the automotive industry. Specifically (right now) BMW E36's. We have a real issue with out coil packs getting cracks in them and allowing the discharged spark to ground on the head and not arc across our spark plugs. Therefore creating a miss, poor fuel economy, a thumping exhaust, etc. However our coils themselves are perfectly fine. They still have the correct values and generate the electricity we need to deliver spark. In my opinion, these are not broken, but faulty.

I recently purchased a new set of coils. Brand spanking new. All 6. Expensive aren't they? Anyways; in the last 2 months I've had 2 more go bad. Extremely frustrating when you're on a vacation and 250 miles from home. I think I purchased a bad lot.

So what I have to offer:

I have designed a "kit" that would prevent that arc from the coil casing to the head. It can be used as both a preventative measure, OR TO REPAIR FAILING COILS!!

I am currently testing them on my car and it should take about a week to make sure that my kit works as designed. I know the product works, just want to make sure that the way I am attaching it holds it on correctly, under extreme heat.

I need 2 or 3 people willing to give them a try. Completely free of charge. I would prefer a moderator, or someone with quite a bit of experience on this board. I DEFINATELY need someone who can type and write well, and be able to express themselves about it completely. I would need just a short note written back, saying how they performed. Please, no one that uses phrases like " 2 B da back is bumpin yo ". Catch my drift?

Please don't PM or Email me a response, if you do you are instantly disqualified from receiving the kit from me. Just reply to this post and I will decide by the end of the week.

PS thanks for all the help with my quirky problems with my car. This is just one of my ways of saying thanks to a couple people. Kinda "pass it forward" isn't it?

It's been a long day, and I was in a bit of a hurry. Started typing and something came up.

I'd be more than glad to volunteer my car as guinea pig :)

And I can also get my bro to write up a review too if you need. He drives a heavilly modified G35 coupe so... he could give you a detailed review.

OK --

Sounds good. Tomorrow I'm going to take them off my car and inspect them. Just to make sure I'm not sending you some piece of crap that doesn't work. This upcoming week I'll make a bunch of sets and send them out to you 2 guys.

If you have any failing coils, I want you to try them on there. I'll send a full set for your good coils, and an entire other set for your bad ones even though you probably only have 1 or 2 of them.


Any questions?
