SLICKTOP

Right heres what ive done so far (not in order), cleaned throttle bodies, carried out boost leak test (all good) set base idle to 750, set tps to 0.48v (idle), reset tps for ucu ref, aac is still no less then 39 and idle 875-900rpm, going to change the temp sender, noticed the temp refuses to rise above 68 degrees © around town and 70 max on motorway kicking its a*se, doesnt seem like a bad thing to me but il change it anyway and see what happens. also i have an induction noise (not the usual gurgling) coming from the drivers footwell (A.I.V's) can here it on idle and accelleration, strange as i was under the impression the aiv's should only be open when engine is cold or on deceleration??? another potential problem, fu*ked reed valves possibly??? your thoughts are appreciated, thanks davie

rite tps is set 0.48 and base idle is set now to 750 but the ecu still insists on 900rpm idle? also my aac is sitting at 39, any ideas peeps

yea i know they come out first but they dont open that much, certainly not as much as the average sized person needs to get out!

no i fitted the engine roughly 6 months ago and no adjustments have been made to the tps since, engine ran aprox 750rpm after fitted but gradually rose a bit, im thinking silverbullets advice concerning cleaning the throttle bodys could be an option then il set the idle.

my cars a manual bud and idle is currently sitting at aprox 900rpm on my ECUtalk display

hi peeps, looking for some help on adjusting my idle as its a tad high, my tps is bang on set at 0.48v and i know where the idle adjustment screw is but what is the exact idle supposed to be and is there any particular sequence of adjustment. cheers davie

I personaly doubt id hav em but dont mind the look of lambo doors depending what car there on, would probably look at home on a kitted zed in my opinion but also more importantly they would probably make these cars that little bit more practical in a way, how many times have you found yourselfs struggling to open your doors wide enough to get out of your fat assed zed in crapy spaced car parks, filling stations ect if your doors open verticly then i reckon it would make life a little easier in some circumstances davie

And a pain in the a*se to change when the time comes to us all!!!

that is gorgous, was that car for sale on ebay a few years ago straight from japan?

Yea as soon as its fitted il get some pics up :rofl:

Yea your right bud most do look crap, think theres only one that i like but im happy with the impul one, heres hoping the seller still wants to part with it considering the price, i want it NOW :hyper: lol!!!!

was the same myself about it mate, problem is with my car is every speed bump it comes across due to bieng lowered 40mm on 17's, i wouldve liked another type of bumper but all the 'kit' bumpers hang lower than the standard bumper and im guessing would end up bieng riped off by a kirb or speed bump but this one looks quite standard sized, i quite like it, just a new standard rear spoiler needed now and the car is back to its former mint glory :D

or sell em to me :D

its gorgous in an over the top way, its a show car after all, love all the sticky out bits lol, the spec list is amazing

your absolutly right about the vents bud but unfortunately for me, not the engine, ive already replaced it as it done in the rings on the right hand bank on the way home from doing the deal with pete lol, good car now tho lol just bad luck, love the car to bits regardless, steped out of my evo 4 and into the zed with no regret, wanted one since i was a kid and petes slicktop came up at the right time or wrong time, whichever way you choose to look at it lol

Just what my shorty needs!!! its petes21st's old slicktop, dunno if your familiar with the car but some idiot in the past has cut the original intercooler vent slats out and put daft vents in there place, that was my only reason for wanting to replace it.

yea sounds like the way to go!!

covers and lights are included pal, says so in the listing anyway, heres hoping

cheers guys, its about time i had some luck with this car!!! davie

:shock: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSS!!!!!!!! cheers dude!!!!!

as above, i just won this on ebay but cant find it anywhere on the net :confused: i went for it as its quite standard looking tho looks better for cooling. anyone have a clue http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180412717914&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT cheers in advance.

can anyone shed some light?

hmmmmm when i drive my car with the knock sensor disconnected there is no difference to how its driving now which would suggest to me that the car is in safety boost after all but is this possible when the car is flashing code 55 (no fault found) ??? i would have thought if the car is running safety boost due to the fact the ecu sees a faulty knock sensor then surely it woud show when doing the self diagnostic??? ta davie

cheers buddy!!! some good reading! can anyone tell me, if i run my car with the knock sensor disconnected, should it throw the car into safety boost?

as above im trying to find out what pipes the boost restrictors are in and what end of the pipe there pushd into, any info or diagrams would be much appreciated, also what is the result of running a zed with these removed, im not thinking of doing it, just trying to diagnose a fault. Cheers.
