Kendall Toyota, apparently their the only ones with the Reflash tool :/ they also gave me the best price so it kinda works

 

Hey guys, just wanted to make sure if you guys were aware of what's going down at the meet tomorrow (wednesday)? I contacted Rey and Armando so they could keep you guys updated, so I just wanted to make sure that the message was relayed. If you have any questions, please PM me. Do not post it on here.

 

i got my car there... how much for the install?

 

right now it looks like 6-ish hopefully less than 700 after taxes and whatnot

 

thats cool cant wait to see it :D

 

thanks bro, hopefully i can get it in before January's done

 

I was gonna go, but my intake arrived, and i need to fix a vacuum leak tonite.. next time!

 

^^ i never c u go lol

 

well its hard to grease the old lady into letting me!! lol
but I havn't been to anything in a while so, she owes me one

 

lol

 

okay, so.. geeeezzzz..

I have been throwing a lean code for months now, I have been watching the live data and the fuel trim at idle is way off, but levels under any load.. it was asking for 35% trim long term, and the short term trim was maxed out at 19.5%. (these should be no greater than 5% usually). I thought the TB spacer gasket was it, but just now when I installed my intake, i replaced those gaskets. I also pulled the intake manifold to make sure I didn't pinch that gasket when I painted it. It was all fine. I started it up, did the idle learn, checked the live data, and the same crap!!!!!
I have a new MAF sensor on the way, so hopefully I just fragged that thing during my many intake swaps, and I can just replace it, and be done. I also wonder about the TB spacer itself messing up readings? I dunno.. I do know for sure that the spray is not going in running like this...

 

The MAF should be able to fix that. I dont think its a serious problem from the sound of it.

 

I hope so... I was racing a charger today (ya.. he smoked me, but not by too much, he was impressed), and my dash lit back up with all the lights.. the sensor should be here soon. If it doesn't work, step 2 is going to be to revert completley back to stock, and check the live data with the addition of each mod, and see whats doing it.. I also wonder if any of my braided hoses are leaking behind the braids.. but i'll wait for the MAF and go from there.. on a side note.. I like the Injen SRI! (especially when its 30 somethin' degrees outside )

 

I think I wanna quit working on Acura's and move to a Toyota/Lexus dealer...

 

Rey inspired me with his Glow Shift sponsor..

I found me a little one..

Its from Stoner Car Care.. www.moreshine.com www.invisibleglass.com

Stuff works great!
I can get a deal on these cleaning/detailing supplies.. let me know!

 

Being how your more go than show. I would heat wrap the SRI. The metal on the intake tubing is pretty and all, but the amount of heat it absorbs from these 1NZ engines heating up so quickly will actually decrease the HP. As far as for the braided lines, I dont know. I didnt think it was possible for them to start leaking so quickly. You havent even had em on that long.

 

well... it isn't the MAF

this all started for me the weekend I removed the intake manifold, and painted it.. installed the TB spacer, installed the braided lines, and that catch can with the breather.. I assumed at first it was the catch can setup, when I removed it, I didnt have a CEL for 2 months, but now its back..
tomarrow I remove the braided lines, and go from there.. the reason I bring these up is, a few of them are a little larger than the "nipple" they attach to, I used the clamps (very tight) to make up for this, but maybe..
if not.. then I will remove the TB spacer.. if not then I order all new intake gaskets.. if not.. I don't know... I will NOT let the dealer touch my engine bay, but maybe I can talk to a tech on the side, and have him view data, and maybe find a O2 sensor or something else causing this..

and I totally agree about the wrap.. I have seen some nice universal types in Jeg's and Summit catalogs.. once the engine is back on track, I will be adding that to the list.. Thanks!!

420

 

maybe I should just buy the greddy S/C, and replace the whole intake system with that..
wonder if the woman would buy that reasoning.. lol

 

how much for the invisible glass...lol and yes i really want to know...

any of you guys know anyone that knows how to do the led swaps in the gauges??
