i want to get rid of the hicas and clean up a bit but would like to get rid of the TT pump and change it for a NA pump, can i just remove the tt pump and all the hicas pipes and gubbins and put a NA pump in? do i need anything else apart from a NA pas pot and a NA pas pump and bracket?

 

dan.:)

Since the HICAS loom is gonna be disconnected from the ECU, it wont matter about having the electrical connectors disconnected.

people do remove the HICAS solnoid from the engine bay,

 

id imagein the electrical wires go from the PAS ECU (footwell)

 

then the hicas oil pipes go to the back of the car.

SLOW! :lol: i am doing the same thing to caribzx Z and i got a load of other things i am doing to mines at the same time so trying to gather as much info as i can for when i can get back up me garage.

 

dan.:tongue_smilie:

can anyone tell me what these two connections are? they are part of the hicas wires and go out to the back of the engine and down underneath.

 

dan.:tongue_smilie:

nothing! so what did yous all do with the wires when you stripped out your hicas?

 

dan.:confused1:

 

(my 3000th post):clap:

I labeled them and tucked them away somewhere dark and safe ;-)

i went to install the na pas pot to the tt pump and the hoses are different sizes!!!! the na pot needs a hose around 15mm and the tt pump has a 20mm hose! is the na pump hose to na pas pot the same size?

 

dan.:huh:

I thought you were fiting an NA pump as well ? TT and NA use different diamter pipes from pot to pump.

TT pump with the HICAS side removed IIRC

yeah was going to but couldnt track down a na pump so going to have to use the tt set up for the moment,the pump i got has the hicas part removed but the tt pas pot will now need to be blanked on one of the out pipes!:hammer: think i seen someone on ere do it.
