to remove the fuel filter i used pliers, but i covered the fuel lines with a cloth so that the pliers wont cut into the fuel lines. howevere it is smart to have some new fuel lines on standby because ur fuel lines most likely would be 15 years old or so.

tip: b4 u remove the fuel filter make sure u drain all fuel out of the fuel system.do this by disconnecting the loom plug to the fuel pump in the boot of the car and start the car and wait for it to stall signifying it has burnt up all the fuel in the fuel lines going to the engine. ur fuel filter will still have a bit of fuel in it when u take it out though.

Thanks for the tip guys much appreciated. Might go with cutting and replacing the hose - damn clamp is on way too tight and i can get a screwdriver to it!

Oh yeah mate its down below the intake plenum near the firewall on the drivers side in a bracket.

hahah jus twist & pulling slowly.. and try get a flat head around the hose if its stuck.. dont try pulling it straight out it wont work lol

i did a soarer the other week and OMFG id do 100 r32 fuel filters before i do another one of those..

stock32 - knowign where the filter is is the least of your concerns.

Lol

When I did mine, the hose had sort of hardened over that bump in the fuel filter line. I don't know how the commpliance people managed to change it without changing the line, but they managed to.

I just wasn't game enough to pull it hard, becuase you know what happens when it lets go (blood, skin = nasty).

I just slit it with a knife and replaced it. Easy.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
