I saw his posts and video on another forum. His car is so sick! I don't think I'll be pushing as much power as his car.

BTW, I saw a product for the VQ. It's a set of aftermarket spark plug coils. It is supposed to produce a stronger spark for improved torque and response. Sounds way overkill.

Also, I wonder if a NISMO oil pump is necessary. Is it possible to take one apart to treat or rebuild it? WPC can treat oil pump gears.

Excellent thread idea! Sub'd for sure!

Do you happen to have a link for this VQ specific product? Sounds very similar to the HKS Twin Power DLI, or ignition booster "spark booster"

The Twin Power ignition amplifier incorporates both the CDI and transistor method ignition to provide optimum spark duration and maximum voltage output, resulting in crisper throttle response and a smoother engine powerband. The CDI method, capacity discharge ignition, provides maximum voltage by transferring all stored energy in the capacitor to the ignition coil so that the ignition current can buildup quickly, thus making the Twin Power very effective in the higher revs where a normal spark would tend to diminish. This strong rapid spark prevents the high rpm ignition miss that reduces peak power.

The transistorized method generates high voltage by using transistors to cut off current to the coil, thus allowing for a long energy discharge. This longer spark duration allows the Twin Power to improve lower RPM throttle response and torque. The combination of the CDI and the transistor method incorporates two distinct systems into one high performance unit, hence the designation of Twin Power. The Twin Power produces a spark output that is typically 1.5-2.5 stronger than of the stock ignition system and consumes about 35% less power input than other ignition amplifiers. Each compact and attractive Twin power unit is constructed of durable anodized aluminum and sealed to prevent corrosion from moisture. General wiring harnesses are included in each unit to aid in installation and mounting. Vehicle Specific wiring harnesses are also available for certain models to further aid in installations that require intricate integration.(CARB E.O. # D-186-22)
