GruppeM intake for FD2 review/info

[liquid23]

hey guys took it to the mechanic beside the place i got it done. he reset the ECU and fiddled around with things. he said should be fine and then when i started my car the CEL light came on haha, didn't even get to move anywhere.

he pulled out the piping and cleaned everything for me. he gave the sensor a clean as well. he said that it should be ok now. started the car a few times and it was fine. he said if the light comes on again, i need a fuel catch tank cause he said the pipe for the fuel vapour thing (the black tube on the left of the other black pipe) might be too close to the sensor so might be blocking it up.

so in 2 days if it doesn't come up it should be ok
all free of charge ^^

thats some pretty good service

damn, yeah for sure. hope it goes well for u man, would be a huge bummer if it all went wrong after all this effort!. good luck

ah oks....

maybe i can ask the guy to chop off a bit and stick it in..
but it would kinda look funny with a black thing in the middle haha

where can i take my car to have the CEL code read? will this help to fine tune on what is wrong?
also are MAF sensors suppose to be from the top? or it can be from anywhere? maybe having it upside down is a problem?

Your guy can easily weld those two baffles in. Just need to provide the dimensions.

yeah he said he would if the reset of ecu and everything didn't work.

yes it was really good service for someone that didn't do any work to my car lol i wanted to give him something but he said don't worry bout it. even had to store my car at the guy's place cause Embleton didn't have room lol.
he called me "the carbon man" -_-"

[black8thgen]

hahahahaha, i wouldn't blame him.. LOL

bad news... the light came on again...
sooo... the mechanic said a oil catch can should solve the problem.
getting it made up now and polished.
whoever wants a gruppeM intake to fit FD2 make sure u do it right and keep the sensor away from the fuel vapour hose haha

[black8thgen]

hahah, man hope this goes well now!

[liquid23]

i hope so too or else i'll just buy the FD2R engine to make life easier

[black8thgen]

LOL, yeah and cost urself half ur future life plans at the same time =/

Instead of wasting all this time and money on an oil catch can, just read the CEL code. If the code pulled is one of the following, then get the baffles done up straight away. An oil catch can won't fix your CEL, since your engine is not tuned aggressively enough to ping when oil vapour goes back into the combustion chamber.

P0101 Mass Airflow (MAF) Sensor Range/Performance Problem
P0102 Mass Airflow (MAF) Sensor Circuit Low Voltage
P0103 Mass Airflow (MAF) Sensor Circuit High Voltage

[liquid23]

i think i saw the reading on the computer said
P0102 Mass Airflow (MAF) Sensor Circuit Low Voltage
P0103 Mass Airflow (MAF) Sensor Circuit High Voltage

i asked him what was the code, he just said oh your car is running lean.
are baffles the 2 fins things that sit right before the sensor?>
