Here is what I've noticed: The car wants to die when I come out of gear. It will not die if I free rev in neutral. W...

I've been wanting to do the cooling panel for awhile now, just haven't gotten around to do it really. I suppose I should try it out now, I will probably attempt to make my own to save $60 (I can't seem to find any cheaper for S14s). I think I may also remove my thermo again and give it a test, i fee...

The ECU limits speed two ways. 1) If the car came stock 5spd, then you have a limiter in 5th gear @ 5,500 rpms. You can avoid this by getting a stock automatic ECU 2) The second limiter is a speed governor and iirc it's set around 120mph, not sure what it is in km/h. There are a couple ways around t...

slight overheating, radiator? or fmic setup?

So my car just runs warmer than normal, autometer says around 210*F on a hot day, NIStune says a little less. (dummy gauge never even budges) anyways, I noticed today while driving in somewhat cooler weather (70*F compared to 80+) it only gets up to around 190*F. On top of that, if I turn on the hea...

Get a 100 amp breaker, they sell them at AZ and advanced for like $30, and then you dont have to worry about carrying ...

Mine only dies when I'm decelerating to a stop. It's independent of actually using the brake booster (So basically if I use ebrake or coast to a stop, it still wants to die) the moment my speedo hits 0 it climbs back up to idle smooth. Mine will no longer do this as long as I keep the A/C on, but if...

I got stiffer shift return springs and they make huge difference they will make your shifter feel much better and much harder to miss 3rd or misshift in general

No, that is not your narrowband output, that is the wideband output. Your narrowband should be between 0V and 1V (hence "narrow") Here is what Innovative's manual says: 6. Optionally, the YELLOW (Analog out 1) and/or BROWN (Analog out 2) can be connected to the analog inputs of other devic...

Some widebands have a narrowband output that you can connect to your o2 wiring to simulate your front o2 sensor.

SAFC's suck balls and why get an N60? Just get an N62 to support up to 500hp or get a p60 with a tune. I don't know why people use the vq30 MAF's. Agreed SAFC's suck but sometimes people are just dead set on using them... Going N62 would be more than ideal, but N60's cost next to nothing and gives ...

Seems like more trouble than it's worth. It's pretty cheap to go with an N60 and just get a rom tune for a fairly reliable setup. Or if you have to have an safc then at least you have a tiny bit more room to play with.

Have you played with SAFC at all since you've got it back? Perhaps they reset it? Also might want to check compression. I've never had experience with it, but I've heard of people having problems with a cometic hg sealing if you havent done any machine work before installing.
