Looking great so far, Teren! Hopefully I'll be able to head around this week (or maybe over the weekend) some time and check it out in the flesh.

I'm back to health, so my aim is to NOT get sick again while out in the wet weather - hopefully it doesn't rain beyond Thursday.

Ok so a little update for those who tune in....

After returning from a quick trip to Singapore... I picked up a new HYBRID GT2 intercooler kit on tuesday, had to make some custom mounts to mount up to the the front reo and mess around with the trans cooler to get it to fit up all nice, also made brackets to bolt up the gtr bonnet latch brace and the thermo fan and modified the trans cooler bracket to fit up to the gtr rad support.

Received my alloy intake pipe and apexi pod filter, and have it roughly fitted up although the filter hits on the washer bottle so might have to see if the S1 washer bottle makes it any better (do S1's have the washer bottle mounted under the skirt where the stock intercooler goes? or do i have some different one?). If that doesnt work I will have to get a hold of a HKS mushroom possibly.

Could have had this thing finished and painted by now if i didnt keep on buying things to put on it! :thumbsup:

Thanks Hugh,

Its an Odyssey fairly certain its this one...

ER40 Specs:

1100 cranking amps for 5 seconds

Short circuit current over 2450A

45 amp hours

87 minute reserve capacity with 25amp load

M6 stud terminal

Length 9.8""

Width 3.8"

Height 8.1"

Ill check my actual type tomorrow, but im fairly certain those are the same specs

Sorry about the poor quality, these were taken from my phone... Updates so far, front mount in, headlights and other wiring done and working, greedy catch can with braided lines and speed flow fitting's in and apexi pen timer... just took the car for a little punt around the block. Sounds good with the pod / alloy intake pipe :(

Do you get much reversion messing with the AFM with the alloy intake pipe?

there doesn't seemto be any problems with it but I do have a 45deg silicon bend before the AFM, there was a few problems with revs dropping heaps fast almost causing the engine to stall after fast acceleration then hard braking in full auto, but don't think it was reversion. Possibly the dual port BOV Ihave on it ATM...

looking forward to an update on this one mate!

I will update the latest pics tonight when I get a chance, im waiting to see what wheels you can come up with! :bunny:

Ok, Sorry it has been a while! but I'm just waiting to get it to paint :down:

I have been looking at wheels feverishly, so far these Gram light 57f's look to be winning... 19 x 9.5” +19 front and 19 x 10.5” +29 rears

My deadline for the paint and to have wheels on it is by the NSW stagea meet in the next few months!

I have also had a chat to a welding friend about removing the roof racks and having the holes welded up, looks promising but will let you know how I go

A few more pics :D

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
