have u had any problems with the cyclops alarm interfering with the car the way it idles, sometimes stalls or wont go past 2400 revs

no. in all of the installs I haev done with that unit it only kills the ign circuit. IN NO WAY was it tied to any sensor. now if you have an idling problem I would be looking for codes on the computer. I would also have a spare airflow sensor handy. that sound more like your problem than the alarm.

food for thuoght- if you have had a shot at teh fitter for this problem - apologise pls.

actually i have one with a built in turbo timer. theres a seperate button to turn off the car too if you think its running too long. i do notice when the car is idling and i arm the alarm it sounds like the car drops in revs slightly but notably. also i have had the car/alarm 5 weeks now and twice it failed to disarm!! i ended up looking like a car thief wandering around for 5 mins pressing the clicker until it decided to disarm. so far so good...but for how long...???

I do not usde the turbo software on those. placement of the module affects teh remote though. I usuall extand the antenna on them. the one I have on my car has never faulted.

I have one on my 4dr.

No problem at all.

I have just had a Greddy FATT fitted last week. It does drop in revs just while the car arms itself then goes back to normal idle range.

Besides that there is no problem with my alarm at all.

Yeh as the guy above said. I hope u didnt have a crack at the installer. And if it was his fault ppl make mistakes.

But good luck with it all anyway mate.

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
