The clue of how to do this is in this thread: http://www.racelogic.co.uk/Forum/showthread.php?1193-External-Off-switch Need to have a think, but looks like RL have used a resistance ladder to set the traction settings and launch control. The launch switch could be either a normally off or normally on type. -Andrew

Can you take the back off your control unit? I have an idea of how they may doing this with three wires. -Andrew

The other thing to find out is if the TC unit itself has the software required in it to make sense of the switch in the control unit. Fortunately, there seems to be an easy way to find out: http://www.racelogic.co.uk/Forum/showthread.php?907-Traction-controll-Launch-Feature-No-work&p=4107&viewfull=1#post4107 Post #2 "To check to see if it is the button, simply turn the rotary dial to Off and then back to working again, this does exactly the same thing as pressing the switch, so it will eliminate it from the equation" -Andrew

RS Components list compatible T0-220 packaged types: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/igbt-transistors/3546177/?searchTerm=SKP06N60 --> Similar Products Any one with Vce >= 600v and Ic >= 6A. IKP10N60T looks OK. -Andrew

The "Unit under bonnet with the 3 outlets/inlets" is the valve body. What do you mean by "solinoid"? From the valve body have you traced and checked for continuity the red (+ve) and black (gnd) wires back to where they have been spliced into the cars ignition +ve loom and ground point? Do you have 12v on the red wire with the ignition on? -Andrew

Firstly, do you have the installation manual for the EVC 1? http://www.hks-power.co.jp/usa/faq/dd/pdf1739.pdf This picture shows the +ve and ground leads coming from the valve body loom: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Qj9aCPp-ta4/UK4wdPlJjlI/AAAAAAAADQ4/qNuBq3WDcqs/s640/HKSEVC1+4.jpg and the Japanese installation sheet shows the same: http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w81/jdmprov/evc1-1.jpg -Andrew

Historically opinion in the US was indeed single MAF was OK up to 500hp or thereabouts. Jim Selin's work with his dual maf and translator changed that view and now folks in the US now recognise the benefits of seperating the intakes. -Andrew

Just for completeness, on my install valve body port (2) goes to these points on both sides: -Andrew

This is my setup for an HKS EVC 4 valve body hose connections. Blue hoses are T pieced and run then to both sides, black hose runs to plenum: * Don't forget to install the inline filters. and single plenum connection: -Andrew

This is the experience of Greg Dupree with stainless and inconel manifolds: http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2347243/INfo.html With the Z32 the problem of cracking is made worse by the weight of the turbos hanging off the manifolds. SZ stopped selling inconel manifolds and went with cast iron from Mike Smith. -Andrew
