The Defected Thread...

[nicr4wks]

Guys, would a forward facing plenum on an rb25 pass regency?

Of course there are injectors and TB to take in to account, but if the injectors are the same or atleast the same size, and original TB used?...

[Rolls]

They usually say as long as standard injection and emission gear is in place you are fine. Call them up and ask, provided the injectors and everything else is standard you should be ok.

Technically as soon as you change runner length you effect emissions, but so does a FMIC and they let that slide.

Got done on Saturday night for 20mm too low, is it worth me changing out my sard injectors and nismo afms? Also my taillights are LEDs but still retain the factory reflectors, is it worth changing them too?

[On Edge]

i reckon that'll be fine pete

If injectors are different colour I think they can tell..

even if you're using the standard fuel rail? i didnt think they'd be that obvious

Dude spent well over 5 minutes with a flash light looking at the fuel rail, injectors, intake manifold, vacuum lines running to everything etc when I went through, though I had gone through with an engine swap that specifically mentioned "standard injection systems retained" on the application so he might have been a bit more anal.

If you can be f**ked taking the rail out painting the injectors stock colour is easy to do, just go visit a model shop and match the colour, cost you like $10 for a brush and some paint.

Assuming of course you have stock looking injectors and not something with adaptors sticking out all over the place.

With the AFM just peel the green sticker off a stock AFM and put it on there, easy as.

You can still see the injectors and there colour , Pete I'd just paint them like mentioned, if they are the sard colour

I might just swap them because ive got to swap out my pfc with the stock ecu too, doesn't look too hard to change em on a 26

[Rolls]

If you are putting the stock ECU in you HAVE to change them, you have to change your AFMs as well.

[Madaz]

or swap your pfc into a stock body ;)

[Rolls]

I like the way this man thinks.

I really wonder if they read this thread or not, I know I'd be onto it if that was my job.

[Ad's]

^^ This. I was thinking about this the other day would they even be able to tell it's a power fc if it had the outercase of the standard ecu on it?

[Rolls]

people do it with adaptronics and a few other ECUs quite regularly, they come with a plug in loom connector so I unless they unscrew it they'd have no idea.

Unless you run MAP and they unplug the AFM, but I doubt they are going to bother doing that.

[Madaz]

you could even circumvent that one pull out the inside of an old AFM and make it look wired up

[Rolls]

More that it is meant to stall if you unplug it, a great way to weed out a large number of after market ECUs.

They DO (or have) done that, known a fair few that have got caught, and that was 6+yrs ago..that import guru that they got in yrs and yrs ago to work at regency used to do it (does he work there anymore?)

cheers
