it IS 2 cats, but you only need one decat pipe. you'll need to look closer and see if you have an after-cat lambda sensor or not. There is a difference in length between the 2 exhausts. All good after market exhaust systems have adjustment at the end that joins the cat to account for this
throttle spindles get worn, and also contaminated with grit. thorough cleaning and re greasing usually improves the situation to almost perfect. The idle control valve is also a bit inconsistent, clean and lubricate.
thats the intention of it I believe. They were due in the first production items on friday, not had one in my hands yet though.
Any aftermarket ECU will put warning lights on, but I believe the CAN code is now fully functional rather than the poor attempt that was made by the first CAN "expert"...
no drilling anything if you use the Gen90, all original sensors except TPS which comes with a direct plug in adaptor loom.
Yes, carbs are the same thing as throttle bodies, just much older technology, so no electonic fuel control
It's a great kit when setup correctly. You need to understand how to balance throttle bodies, and setup their idle, there's been a couple of instances of people being fairly innept with this and blaming the kit which you'll probably be told about by bitchy PM. You're also just up the road from...
said it for years, they're made of the cheapest grade stainless they can get away with calling "stainless" and the welding is normally very questionable.
lifetime warranty only counts for the original owner
I'm yet to buy any clutch kit from any manufacturer that doesn't include a release bearing. 1.2 clutch can be done without removing the box from the bay, but it's still a pain in the arse job. £250 labour isn't a bad price
not hard particularly. Needs doing on a dyno by someone experienced for best results. Road mapping is a bit crap, but it can get a car drivable in the short term
the biggest thing that immediately becomes apparent when you use any decent standalone, is map tracing, and live updating. You can always see exactly what part of the map you are at, immediately. With the standard ECU, you're relying on data logging, and "best guess" trial and error techniques...
Have you seen the canems ECU that I sell. Got it on a number of mk1's now, including one with an F4R in it, and got good results for a much more sensible cost than some ECU's. Not a high end product, but ideal for engine conversions and kit cars. much better than emerald for example, which is...
