wondering when i get my FMIC if i should hack into the front bar for more cooling exposure or just leave it. if i go ahead and attepmt it i would want to make sure it sweet and no dodgy cut marks ect..

can anyone post pics of how there front mount looks with the series one front bar??? i.e stock or cut into.

(professionally done or DIY)

thanks

yeah i know but i was refering to actual cutting for visual appearence. i think ive seen a pic on a series 1 with no visual bar changes (from the outside..i know you would have to cut it on the inside to fit it in.) if that makes sense. so looking for S1 front bars with the cooler fully installed pics if anyone..

thanks

ah shit! sorry i do have an mspec front bar. sorry guys. yeah thats what i was considering.. removing that middle section in the bar. just unsure if i should get a shop to do it or go the hack on it myself. thanks for the pic. keep em comming if anyones got anymore.

thanks

Here whats involved ....easy .....do it yourself, cut it, fill it, sand it, paint it, fit it.......Job done.

Vent fitted where the indicators / spots were....or leave them and add vents elsewhere...depends on your laws on car lighting.

You gotta get air to that intercooler....more the better

The other thing thats cool is a spring hinged Number plate that will swing back out of the way due to air pressure at speed.... and then return to normal position as you slow down......trick.

Bah, the intercooler is only really a heat sink and that's all you can expect from a hybrid special. Cutting out the front is really only prolonging the inevitable (heat soak).

I intend to use water/meth injection in the near future to combat this. Although I'd still like to cut the bar out, as I'm seeing higher engine temps due to the lack of air flow to the radiator.

Then why fit one at all ??

Of course the more air you get to a air cooler will work....hiding it behind the front bar, is like opening all your windows in a drag race.

It is a heat sync, but this is cooled by air, hence the position of it, cover it and its useless.

Water injection is.....another source to remove heat and increase combustion, but works great in conjunction with a FMICs.

The cooler would still be effective for a while even if it was fully enclosed. The problem is the cooler cannot dissipate heat as fast as it conducts it. So removing front the middle section would have minimal gains.

I'd say even with my setup the majority of the airflow would still find its way through.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.

      So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.

      Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
