TT Convert Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 sod it, ok will be done in 10 mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 There is a guide on plenum replacement in the guides section that might be a bit more useful than the instructions. Just remember to refer to the instructions when it gets to actually locating the bits of the plenum so it is properly spaced. It is easier than it sounds.

H5 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 done! Now go and put the rest of the bolts in! Seriously, start the car, let it run, take it for a drive etc. Everything to make sure the throttle position sensor and the MAF are still reading OK.

Did you use a torque wrench to tighten everything back up? off topic: IanS16 I see you have a UK Birdview DVDROM on your signature. Did this fix the Jap Satnav and allow you to use the Jap OEM screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDM screen etc. Only annoying thing is the Japanese buttons but its pretty obvious after a few times using it!

Is it all working now then ? and are you happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 yeah its all working.. finally managed to reset the ECU (about the 40th go) and the light has now stayed off. Ok, will probably get a right slating for this but i havent really noticed any difference. Took kingbiscuit out as well and it didnt seem any faster than his Zed. Its hard to say without comparing the before and after side by side or without a dyno run though! One thing as well, my MPG has dropped, dont know whether its my driving changing or the plenum spacer?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 If the MPG has dropped it is cause more Air is being used so that means it could be working. What were you getting before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmJak Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Did you not notice any difference pulling away in 6th from 70mph? I definately felt more pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingbiscuit Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 70mph is the speed limit in this country and should be abided by at all times. I am the law! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Did you not notice any difference pulling away in 6th from 70mph? I definately felt more pull. No because i havent got a 6th.. jdm Tiptronic Sounds stupid but the tyres seem to squeal a bit more if i floor it when i pull off but nothing else. As i said, its hard to tell though. May get my car on the dyno. I have the original ECU that doesn't dumb down mods and i've had a few things done. Probably will have just lost a bit of power with its age and because its hit 30,000 miles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
