I wouldn't leave the plenum section on and try and install the Nipples, You wouldn't risk drilling the holes when its on! Imagine the shavings in there :D

You are gonna have to remove the plenum section 1000% if you go ahead with it...

I have had two D-Jetro computers installed and thats the way they have been done :bunny:

like tony said you should 100% NOT drill the 3rd and 4th runner while still fitted to the car. There is no way you can drill and tap those two holes without getting swarf in the engine.

I have previously been a big fan of doing it properly and installing the 2 nipples in runners 3 and 4 post throttle body as apexi reccomend. some people do the dodge and use one of the post throttle body vacuum lines coming off the little vacuum box and just tee it into 2 feeds for the 2 map sensors. I had previously seen people have problems with that, but lately 1 or 2 have seemed to still work quite well doing it that way.

personally I'd rather do it properly, the downside of course is it's a pretty hefty labour bill to remove and replace throttle bodys etc just to drill and tap 2 holes for the nipples. talk to the bloke tuning it and see what he wants.

check the documentation or ask their local support

there are known compatibility issues with individual throttle bodies and map sensor based ECU's

i believe thats why apexi make you install it in the exact spot on the plenum and not just anyold where

thanks for the replys guys

what if i got a haltech e11v2, where would i tap into? im pretty sure they only have one map sensor? (correct me if im wrong?

thanks

the haltech will work fine off the vacuum balance rail (factory boost gauge port @ the back)

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
