Hi ya, just finished my ITB and cams upgrade with an omex ecu. Because the standard ecu is hardly connected anymore i have the warning lights on on the dash. (limp mode and emmissions) Now i know these lights are on a databus from the ecu and the only way i can see of turning them off is by...
Hi there,
I'm in the process of fitting cams, bodies, omex etc, just wondering what do i do with the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Valve?
I understand what it does, vent fuel tank fumes to the inlet under certain conditions, but what do i do with it running bodies? i don't think...
I've just fiteed a ktec chrome adjustable strut brace, and was wondering how much to adjust it? i know you should 'pull' the tops of the struts inwards, but by how much?

I have play in my drivers' side wheel when jacked up, sides not top / bottom. I know this means steering not wheel bearing, however the play cannot be felt in the track rod end so that points to the rack! the steering wheel doesn't move on small movement but the opposite wheel does which again...
I hope you can help....when i turn on my ignition my warning lights all come on then some go out (which i think is normal) but the oil pressure warning light goes out too! (engine not running!) i noticed it when i changed the oil cos on most cars the light will stay on for a bitand i was looking...
How much power can i put through my standard 172 cup box without lunching it? will it take turbo power with an lsd and a new clutch (300 bhp)?

I've heard that 1.2 models has 52mm holes and 182 cup has 60mm, also 182/172...
I have a cat bypass pipe and have tried the disconnect route..no joy and i've tried the remove the lambda route and still no joy, the light is still on.
Right my idea is to put a resistor in line with the second lambda sensor based on:
the lambda sensor gives a voltage out (0.2 - 1volt). the...
Is there any difference between 172 rear shocks and other models, cos i can't afford coil-overs, it already has Spax springs on it and my rear shocks need replacing ASAP(1 has just dumped it's oil!) and i can't find any listings for the 172 but loads for other models.
Please help as it likes...
I have a 172 cup with a full s/s exhaust and a bypass pipe. i bought the car like it about 3 months ago and the emissions light has just come on.
Now i understand what it is for but how do i get it to turn off?
I've done a search and so far i have come up with:
1. disconnect 2nd lambda and...
All i wanna know is is it worth removing?
I've read that it restricts the airflow between idle and 4500rpm to increase torque,is this right?
Will i gain anything by taking it out?
