Yeah I just can't pass emissions here in Denver. I'll keep them until I find a smog location that will pass me. I won't waste time getting the updated Iowa plates haha.

 

[brian9397gsx]

I don't blame you figured it was an emissions deal

Yo,

Took some pics of the eclipse and my dog Zoey!

Peace!

That car is literally perfect; not figuratively. Good job.

Thanks man!

Theres a lot I wish I could do (tubular front/rear subframes, all adjustable control arms front and rear, Recaro evo 9 seats, evo 9 steering wheel, built drivetrain etc etc)

Just have to kind of call it quits on the big stuff at some point! Focus on the small things!

Love how much cleaner the PWS area is with all that hardware deleted.

I just don't know if I could go with out PWS.

I agree, honestly if I had a couple hundred dollars blowing a hole in my pocket I would go with an electric power steering setup, though.

I wanted to fix the small amount of window rattle I had on the car so I did a thorough write up here on tuners. You can check it out here:

The doors are soooo solid it makes me happy.

Did a little idle walk around, figured I'd upload it to my youtube.

Kelford 272's, 800 RPM idle, no cat, 3" turbo back, Apexi "catback" w/ two resonators.

Sounds awesome. Stock timing setup?

Yeah all stock timing settings.

Nice, and no issues with it trying to die on you? I hear some do and some dont, i love the sound and cannot wait to do the S2's now

Honestly i'm very surprised it starts up so well and idles great haha. No FIAV/ ISC etc. Speed density helps a ton i'm sure? I don't really know haha

How hard is it to start in the winter?

It hasn't been driven in the winter in many years to be honest. Like are you wondering if it will start in 0 degree temps? I have always had the ISC/ FIAV deleted and never remember an issue or annoyance. I always let my car warm up a bit before driving though.

I have issues with idle on startup. It will fire after a couple cranks, but then I have to hold the idle at 2k for 10-20 sec's to get it to catch.

EVO 3 IM 60MM
1G TB 60MM
Block off plate no FIAV or ISC.
Kelford 272.

I was actually getting idle issues and codes for it. Had to adjust my idle to 1000-1050 to get to run right with no codes. This all happened after I switched from my Magnus to evo 3 and elimated TB controls.

How do you get away with no ISC? Do you simulate it via SD or it adjusts for air temps or something?

I'm just lucky I suppose? I can upload a cold start video if you would like! I don't recall ECUFLASH having anything regarding ISC simulation. Thing starts right up, I have to keep my foot on the pedal for maybe 20 seconds at 1000rpm but then it will idle fine.

Thats cool, i would eventually like to ditch the isc also as they are just something else to break, dontknow if i can use a map sensor to work it out or not. Im not great with this kinda stuff but im about to learn ecmlink as i need my new ecu in so i wanna learn what i can and cannot do, shall lesrn eventually
