Momo Steering Wheel Fitted

Just fitted a Momo steering wheel. It went on fine with no problems but i had to remove the Hicas sensor as the new boss didn't fit on top. I've had a Hicas lockout bar fitted so there's no problem there.

I followed this 'HOW TO' guide.

The bit where you take the green wire out is where i lose it. Because the Hicas sensor is no longer on the column, where is the wire from the horn?

I've got 2 wiring blocks........1 on the left of the column and 1 underneath.

My apologies for the blurred pics but it was dark.

Here's a pic of the sensor that i took off before fitting the boss.

As you can see the black pin at the bottom and the wiring entry into the sensor to the right stops the boss from fitting on top. That's why i took it off.

Is there a boss that will fit onto this sensor?

The black connecter has 3 wires. A blue,a red and a yellow.

The white connecter has 2 wires. A black and a yellow.

Someone on here must have put an aftermarket steering wheel onto a spec2 R33 and done away with the airbag and Hicas !?!?!?!?!?

I need to know if you used a cheapie boss that fitted over the above Hicas sensor.

What type was it ?

Thanks guys

Hicas Boss Kit

I have this boss kit. and my HICAS works fine. Just have to make sure you put it on right. It will fit on a few ways but only one way will engage the HICAS properly.

On second thoughts looking at your pic but, It looks like you might have a S2, In which case you might need one designed for an air bag fitted car, but it should be on the Just Jap site anyway.

Yes bud I have an S2 Model R33. The car has an airbag but I've removed the original wheel and fitted an aftermarket Momo wheel without an airbag.

With that in mind, do I still need an airbag compatible boss?

I know I need a Hicas compatible boss for the electrics to work. Didn't think the lack of airbag was a problem when picking a boss.

Your Hicas sensor is a bit different to mine in the series one. I guess cause of the air bag.

The boss kit you need should have a little hole for the little stubby bit of plastic sticking out there. It should rotate that part with the steering wheel. Because you've got a lock bar and have taken the light out it shouldnt be to much of an issue if it doesnt rotate it perfectly. Mine had an issue where I had the boss kit on wrong, and it was not contacting the tab immediatly when turning the wheel, which bought up a warning when I drove above 80kmh for a while. But as I said that shouldnt be an issue with you with the lock bar and HICAS light removed.

But I think because with the sensor removed there will be a gab between the steering wheel and whatever that it probably wont work, your horn will be weird to get around to..... So easiest way would be just to buy the HICAS/AIRBAG Boss kit.

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.

      There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
