Update? Lets see.. M-Tune has arrived, done the 28pin dme conversion... pretty easy IMO.

I'll get some pictures with the maf set up in the engine bay

Paulyy

Like i said, id get some photos up. just pretty much mocking up the M-Tune seeing how everything fits together with the catch can, ic pipes and the modded Y coolant pipe.

Its seems in peoples pictures I am seeing with M-Tune that the mechanism for the headlights is extremely close to the intake boot. Has anybody had issues with rubbing? Don't get me wrong I'm already as sold as you can get on this product but am just curious if they are all as tight as they look.

Paulyy

Mine just clears it. i'm sure you can rotate it to clear it more. i just havn't payed around with it much

Paulyy

Got a couple of small things done today.

Installed the new swivel, the 90 degree elbow rotates a full 360 degrees and i'm not sure if its suppose to do that because the one i broke didn't


i put a plug for the M-Tune MAFs power so i can unplug it if i ever need to remove the MAF instead of going under the intake looking for the plug there.



And heres a picture of the elbo clearing the headlight mechanism

i would put a better plug than that. beecause those suck

reno808

and they become loose over time and thats something u do not want to become a problem because its not making the proper contact.

Paulyy

What would you recommend Reno?

I used it because i saw no harm since the cycling valve connector is based on the same plugs

reno808

One with a lock

Paulyy

oh i know what you're talking about, i'll see if i can find one, i'll be heading down to a electrical store for a 20k pot and i'll look for something like that.

That type of fitting will swivel 360°, so no worries there. Its placement, however, is less than ideal. You may not like the way it will look, but you should rout the oil feed line in from the other direction. Having it route over the turbine will likely cause a heat related failure of either the hose or swivel seal. Adding a heat barrier may help, but personally, I would reroute and add a heat barrier.

Paulyy

Hmm good point, glad you said that.

I'll see if i can go from the other side (around the temp sensor?)

Crackership

It's very close on mine. No rubbing though, just very very close.

Paulyy

I rotated mine to clear it, except i may need to trim some of the coupler to bring the filter in a bit, it's pretty much stuck in there.

Crackership

Mine's fairly stuck too... I just loosen the clamp at the filter and then lift up under where the filter and the J-Pipe connect... filter pops right off when I do it that way.
