What have you done to your car today?

You mean before the insulation starts separate the inner strands enough to get goo between them all?

 

Most rtv will break down when exposed to fuel so I wouldn't recommend that. Usually when that happens you would need to replace the sensor but your solder idea sounds like it could work.

 

The same thing happens with the avcs cam sensors where they leak internally and force oil up the wire between the copper and the insulator. If you don't do anything about it the fluid will keep going along the wire until the next point it can escape.

Was going to try these but this other gromet looked like it might work too, plus fairly sure the hole in the cradle is too big for one of these so would need a new upper to try with these.

They completely isolate the wiring outside from inside with crimped eyelets on each side and seals around a stud so no chance of fuel tracking up.

Had it on the Dyno Friday. 

 

Had a couple of issues. 

 

Basically, fuel injector clinic 1650cc e85 injectors have really bad short pulse control. Cheap injector, don't recommend. 

 

The exhaust strangled it, and I have a huge amount of pressure drop across the intercooler. Like nearly 4psi.

 

Plan of attack:

New intercooler.

Adrenaline r 3inch tail section (or similar, quiet is good but needs to flow well)

Get some id1300x's

Retune. 

 

As it is, it's a hoot to drive (safe tune) but it's... No where close to what the target was

Awesome. What does the standard one look like? Same shape but leather?

 

Stock M-Sport is the same as below - round, leather and a black insert as opposed to CF.

Was a bit of a surprise to find out that the airbag is only held by a retainer spring, not bolts. Basically just clips into place.

So pretty basic but I went and got new tyres for the legacy as it was desperately needed. Basically haven’t driven it all winter because of them obviously and just replaced them now.

But that alignment. Christ no wonder that thing felt sketchy all the time.

Directed the crappy clear lights for some factory ones.

Also replaced the ac compressor since I haven’t had ac since I bought the car. Turns out I’m a moron and should have pressure tested it first because when I went to charge the system I have a leak where the high pressure line bolts onto the compressor.

So, what do you think would be a sensible option for things to do on your car, just a week out from getting it tuned?

Pull the dash out obviously!

To be fair, it was sorely needed. So much old wiring. I also fixed my central locking at the same time. Not bad for a couple hours of work.

Now... Time to put that dash back in, change all the exhaust manifold gaskets, put in my 10mm phenolic spacers and find other things I can break. Good times. a3db073d150c0b9ffee7cc4339781a02.jpgcda29e777f0829fec53be1979ee2c357.jpg

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
