Mention that it was totally stock as a rock when we bought it, since have added, cooling pro fmic, rims, pod filter, gauges and sound sys.

Next mods are exhaust, injectors, bigger turbo an tune bring on the power

Just using a Blitz pod filter, i have an engine bay photo around but not on my work computer

Cool, how much did that set you back?

I'm looking at buying a pod but are unsure which one I should get... I'm guessing they all do the same thing...

How much trouble was the cooling pro fmic to fit? Did it fit up to the stock SMIC pipes ok? Need to move horns/cut bumper etc?

Nice stag...Btw did you paint your grill black?looks cool ,I was thinking to do that...

The grill was black when i bought it and i dont think it was painted black either.

The FMIC was an absolute prick to install turned into a 2 night session, the pipes fit, but we had to make new brackets to mount the cooler on so it didnt sit at an angle, we got it so that we didnt have to end up cutting anything. we took off the air conditioning fan because the motor was too big and got in the way of the cooler and the horns were easily moved. Fits like a glove now but it was tedious to say the least.

ooh 'eck. not an easy fit to a series 2 then. think I might not go for the cooling pro fmic right away - i'd like to keep my a/c fan.

FMIC = good now i know how to put one on it, was a totally F***EN mission to begin so much for a easy session haha. but AC is working fine without the fan we will be putting on a thin davey craig or somthing soon when we get a chance for summer. I figure the the radiator one is drawing a fair bit through anyway

Cooler looks tops and is indeed very stealth even though it is polished silver.

Glad it turned out in the end. Matter of interest: have you got a series 2? and did you relocate your transmission cooler? if you didn't move your transmission cooler, do you think it would've made things easier if it had've been out of the way?

I can spot an S badge on rear, so no trans-cooler.

My R33 Greddy kit fitted fine, pipes perfect! horns relocated, reo skimmed, hole-sawed, heaps of room for A/c fan when i get one!

Love the grill!

      I suspect 550s are on the large side for happy operation with a stock/Nistune RB20 ECU. The Hitachi ECU doesn't love short pulse width operation, and the RB20 doesn't need much fuel at idle. Big injectors can be unpleasant. This could be contributing.

      Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.

      Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.

      It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
