Originally posted by Mr Cranman Congrats....looks awesome...can't wait to see the numbers. Where did you get the bolts??? And how long did it take I would guess about 3-4 hours. Have you driven around with it open yet??? Again congrats. -John Got the bolts at a local hardware store. Install was 12 hours with 4 people working on it. It is a pain in the A** to get the original Plenums off. Once those came off, it only took about 1.5 hours to get everything back on. IanS |

Re: Re: Re: Looks Great
LOL! There is a big difference inbetween 12 hours of total time spent and the # of hours that were spent actually turning wrenches.
There was alot of "hmmmmmmm" "ahhhhh" and talking shat about the other .org members. hehe. Alot of it was because these guys never took off a manifold before. If they did it again, actual working time would be 1/3-1/2 the time I'm sure. Glad I was there to watch and help a little. :) Originally posted by Mr Cranman Holy cow 12 hours...Hopefully I won't have as much of a problem with the Plenums on my car...but my car is old 95' so I'm sure it will be a pain for me too. And I'll only have 2 people working on it. But I'm sure it will be worth it. You should take it for a nice test drive and tell us how the dyno butt likes it. :D -John |

Originally posted by NmexMAX I'd be willing to devote some time to helping you two out. just let me know. -John |
Sounds good to me, if you're going o that show on Sunday, maybe I can get a ride in the beast, if possible.:D and we can talk bout the VI install,

Originally posted by Mr Cranman Sure I'll give you a heads up. Or, if you can't maybe you could come to the dyno with us...even though we'll already see the results with Ian's dyno. -John |
i'm sure it will have a synergistic effect because it is helping the car breathe that much better @ hi rpms. i wonder if the ECU must be reprogrammed for this mod?

Good to hear you're making progress, I can't wait to hear on how this goes!

With all this excitement I'm about to pee my pants :D I'm glad you got everything you needed from your "hook up". You've got one buyer sitting here eagerly waiting your dyno.

Major setbacks.
The RPM switch isn't turning on like it should. I can program it and everything, and I get an LED showing it's getting juice, but when the RPM's hit their mark, nothing happens. I'm pretty sure it's blown. I sent MardisGras an E-Mail asking him how he hooked it up, but according to my diagrams we have it right. We tested avery wire with a voltmeter, and the switched ground out of the RPM switch is the only thing not lighting up. Also, the MAP/Baro switch, when turned on then off again, does not release the vacuum pressure in the hose going to the actuator. This means that the actuator stays open indefinately. IanS |
What kind of rpm switch are you using? Are you sure it's programmed for the right kind of engine and ignition? I plan on getting the Harlan rpm switch. I have his shiftlight and it's great.

I have his shiftlight and it's great. Dave Any tricks to hooking it up I'm missing? I have +12v going to the +12v on the ignition coil. I have - going to the Black on the ignition coil. I have Green (coil sensor wire) going to the multi-colored wire on the ignition coil, as it says is the ignition control wire in the Haynes manual. Then out of the RPM switch is a white wire that is supposed to turn into a ground to activate a relay when the set RPM's are hit. I'm getting nothing out of this lead at any point, even though the LED is flashing correctly for 6 cylinders and 1500 RPMs (I set it to 1500 for testing). I tested every connection with a voltmeter, and they are all working, minus the switched ground (White wire) coming out of the RPM switch. Anyway, as I said, having issues getting the RPM switch and MAP/Baro Switch to work. See my post in the 4th gen Forums "ME VI Installed!". I don't feel like posting in a million places, and will post further updates there. Good news is that I just drove it around with the flaps open to see what happened....Car feels crazy fast at higher RPM's now. Butt Dyno is very happy. I had a Dyno scheduled for this afternoon (They didn't have the space to do it tomorrow), but missed the appointment because of my issues. Dyno is going to have to wait until next week, unfortunately, sorry for being a tease. IanS |
ME VI - $600 shipped
(not in bulk, so it cost more than it will in a GD) RPM Switch - $50.00 DawesDevices.com Solenoid, that doesn't work - $35 Various wires/relays - $25 Solenoid off a Nissan Pulsar NX in a junkyard - $2.50 Bactine for the cuts all over my hands - $3.50 The look on ebmorgans face as I hit 5000 RPM's - PRICELESS http://www.cyberhub.net/intake/installed/ebmorgan.jpg It works! :jump: Please look in the "ME VI Installed" thread on 4th Gen Forum for any further info.

Re: Re: Re: Looks Great
Originally posted by sx7r good lord. took me an hour the first time i did it. :gotme: glad you actually got your VI though. You have the ME VI!?!? Or you just removed and replaced your plenums? Alot of it was learning curve, and figuring out the vacuum system and RPM switch. And alot of sitting aorund and taking breaks and bullsh!tting. |

Re: Re: did you do a write up
Oh man that picture is just glorious:jump:
DW Originally posted by iansw Still have to schedule the Dyno Run. Hopefully I can get time on it tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I can. Of course i will do a write-up assuming that the Dyno shows a good gain. IanS |
Ian I got the package from my supplier just like you he under-estimated the weight. The package was actually 9 kg which is about 20 or so pounds.
I bit k the bullet and paid the extra shipping costs. The VI looked good when I had it here though :) Hopefully Robert can get it installed and dynoed soon :D I'm gonna talk to Greg just after this happens and see what he can arrange for us. |
Great to hear!!!

Originally posted by Mr Cranman I'm glad that you got the VI in. When do you think it will be on your car. It appears that we are now going to have to start listing VVI in our mod list =) *sigh* |
