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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
