Well my car has been sitting at a friends shop for the winter.

Late last year I got pissed off at how tight/restricted access to the Greddy Wastegates were with their shitty design. So I decided to redesign the wastegate system. After the redesign was done and everything was test fitted I had everything ceramic coated at Impact coatings here in Edmonton (Thanks Bruce and others for the great service) and get everything re-installed.

Well the re-install worked perfect, no alignment issues like the stock greddy setup. Access to all bolts is now possible and quite easy in comparison to the old system.

I even had enough time to run Braided line to the blow off valve.



And then I did it. The biggest Mod of my life. A project for the record books.

A NEW OIL CAP!

 

Mmmmmmm braided lines, that's another thing I will have to play with down the road. Is that a GM IAT sensor (open element) in you intake pipe? No MAF.

Any pictures of the car?

 

No MAF is correct.

It is SOOOO much nicer than the MAF. I highly suggest the conversion.

No new pics of the car right now. Sorry, I just had my Iphone to snap those pics last night.

 

Hmmmm, I will have to research this. Pulled an additional multy wire cable from the engine bay to the cabin just in case. And now I can use it.. I know that I can just splice the OEM MAF and hook it up to the Haltech but I'd rather just run it's own wiring.

So you don't have any CEL's with the MAF removed?

 

I have CEL because I don't run cats or stock Downstream O2 Sensors.

I strictly run 2 Widebands.

I will have to put the scan tool on it and see if I have any CEL codes related to Maf. But I don't think I do.

 

Oh yeah, and once I put in my Racepaq I will have no CEL because I will not have the stock dash cluster any more either.

 

I cant wait to see the racepaq in action. I know I have dash lights on like crazy. The OEM ECU no longer senses the throttle so my slip light, VDC and CEL are all on so I will either have to pull light bulbs or maybe a reflash or the racepaq

 

More work, more progress this weekend.

Thanks to Sasha (Boosted Probe) for all the help this weekend.
