what you going for rob?

what you going for rob?

Decided to go with Wavetrac.

http://www.autotech.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=stock&Product_Code=10-309-181WK&wavetrac=1

Ordered one of these and some other AN fittings after seeing IulianeE's thread.

I've never been happy with that connection to my catch can.

perfect choice rob, can vouch for this having driven and been in a vrs with one fitted recently

Hope so as it's going to cost over NZ$2k fitted

I love strapping stuff to my roof

Rob, I am still waiting for the wavetrac to arrive with Autotech....

This has always irritated me:

Better.

Looks good Rob

Warrant of Fitness passed.

Just an advisory that the rear brakes will need doing soonish.

Not bad as they're the original factory pads.

Pulled out the evap cannister.

Good work as usual Rob, did you have to have this mapped out or anything?

I replaced the connection with a resistor.

Oh right what size resistor i may have to copy as usual lol

Should be a 330ohm, same as the other stuff but I cheated this time. When I bought the valve cover adapter from Integrated Engineering I noticed they do ready made resistors for various things so I grabbed one for this.

Do you not get the incorrect flow cel doing this with your other mods?

I only ask as I removed mine a while back because after raising my engine the right angle connection off the top of the throttle body was touching the bonnet so I disconnected it and remove the brass elbow from the throttle body and put the resistor in the wiring plug but after a while of driving I get the fault code come back :(

I havnt done any other mods like sai,n249 removal etc but i intend to do so at some point,so wondered if I did the other mods too like yourself if this cel would no longer be present as it gets a bit annoying lol

my next mod lined up then cheers

Nothing yet but I've only driven short distances so far. Will see how it goes.

Hmm slight fail, I forgot to cable tie or clamp the vacuum cap on the throttle body, and it popped off.

The effect was impressive. The car ran like it had a failed coilpack and kept popping and banging.

A bit of electrical tape wrapped around the end got me home.

Oh and I received a box of things today.

Loving the Hybrid badge

Oooooo hybrid...

ohhhh some what jealous right now...

Loving the hybrid badge. Where will you get it mapped out there?

Diff is still a couple of weeks away or has the hybrid put this on hold?

I think the diff will be required once the turbo goes on

This is Billy's kit which came with an ECU with an R-Tech map.

I've sent the ECU to Ben at Shark so he can pull the map and send me an STS version so I can keep my factory ECU and immobiliser.

I'd like to get a custom map at some point but I'm already spending far too much money

Now how to tell SWMBO...

Someone has managed to dent my front wing.

I know it's not much and the paint is okay but it's just where I look when I get into the car, and will bother me.

Might have to talk to a dent removal specialist.
