Whats up guys.. I just got off the phone with my mechanic and he said he got the front header off and on pretty easaly. I asked him how it fit? He said fitment was pretty good but he did have to trim a little off of one of the studs? He said he has the back header almost off and that it is going very smoothly so far. As of 20 minutes ago he has spent 4 hours on the job so far and expects about 2-3 more. I should be picking the car up tomarrow afternoon so I will let you guys now how the power feels and I will fill you in on the install details!


Heres a question for you fellas.. I asked a few times before but I never got a real clear answer. Ok, how long should I wait until I get the car dynoed after the headers are put on? Miles/day, estimate? I ask because people seem to think that it takes the ecu a little time to get adjusted. Also, should I definatly reset the ecu right after I get them out on?

 

You should just be able to reset the ECU, let the car idle 5-10 minutes. Turn it off and turn it back on and drive around for maybe half an hour. That should give it plenty of time to relearn it's program. Can't wait to hear if theres a power difference.

 

reset the ECU after and go dyno

http://vbxmaxima.8m.com/ecu.html <-- if you don't have it.. and yes that was from memory

 

Thanks for the info sprint.. I got that whole clearing the ecu thing down . It looks like the car will get dynoed Thursday or Friday, maybe even tomarrow? Can you say 190-195 FWHP..?

 

I can say it... i just need to see it

 

No it wasn't. It was from here:

It's Ok to admit it, Sprint. Really.

 

Just make sure that you don't shift 5 - 2 on the way to the dyno.

 

 

, I was just thinking about how much that sucked ! I got that whole shifting thing down now .

My I30 is weird.. You can slide it into 1st gear at 110MPH if you want, with no problem, my max won't let me go into first unless I am under 20MPH ? Stange..

 

I remember that day to clear.

 

Atleast we got some exersise . Do I still owe you the ride back or what? LOL

We should set another meet up there soon!

 

Good luck. Oh and expect the car to smell fo a little bit.

 

You did get a Dyno before the install right?

 

Yeah, I posted the info about 3-4 days ago. My car put down 171.7HP and 179.4 TQ. This was with a Stock Y-pipe.

 

bill .. seriously .. this is a serious post .. stop trying to build your post count.. go to the 5th Gen Forum

 

Hey!


anyhow, thatnks for the update emax.... looking forward to the results

 

urethane motor mounts help to prevent missing gears also. fyi

 

I believe you, but how?

 

its magic

 

shoot...there's GOTTA be some way to put on those on a cali-spec 99

 

Hypocrit.

 

how long did it take you to figure that out?

 

no time at all

 

believe it or not, they reduce engine and tranny movement, which allows shifting without tranny movement. you never miss a gear when you are standing still.

 

I can't wait to see these results... You said they were 600 plus shipping right? About how much is shiping? And what is the total hours install now that it's back?

 

$618 Shipped 2 day VIA fedex. I do not now how long it will take exactly yet, but somewere in the ballpark of 8 hours.

 

this is so exciting, i can't wait for the results. i hope they go on good, but that's a lot to install them damn it.
