Magic got the compliance cat today(thanks to SydneyKid), and will make all the bolt on cats for the first order tomorrow and send them out, so those people can expect their bolt on cats early next week i guess!

Ok guys, there is a problem with the temp sensor bung for the bolt on cats. Ill quote magic:

It turns out that the overtemp sensor fitting is not just like a nut welded in, the sensor actually seats into a fitting. We would have to be sent the fitting for each cat if they are to be welded in. The sample cat we were sent has had the fitting removed prior to us receiving it, probably for this reason. The easiest way around it is just not to fit the sensor as you are aware it serves no real purpose.

I personally do not care about the temp sensor, but i know that one or two of you were very keen on keeping the sensor fitted, i am not sure what to do, i need to get back to them to tell them what to do.

Who really wants the sensor bung, even if it involves a bit of stuffing around?

I would like to have a proper temp sensor bung / boss installed on mine. If that's an issue, I'll bail out and get the $'s back. No hard feelings :)

ok guys have spoken to magic and i will explain the problem for the bolt on cats.

The hole that you screw the temp sensor into is not a problem, it is just a normla threaded hole.

The problem is that inside the hole there is a fitting that holds the sensor. This is the problem, Magic say that without it, the sensor itself will move around in the cat and it will not work properly.

I am not sure if other aftermarket cats come with the fitting, or just a hole in the cat, they will be looking at d00ds car tomorrow, and i might have a look at mine a a bit later to see if my compliance cat has the fitting to hold the sensor straight.

They are waiting to hear from a supplier of theirs if they can get these fittings, if they cannot, the only was to have the sensor fitted properly is to send out your old fitting.

The compliance cat they were sent already had the whole lot removed (im assuming it was removed to be welded into another cat)

I didn't intend to remove the fitting, but the sensor was rusted/corroded in. When I applied turnng force with the ring spanner it screwed the fitting out rather than undoing the sensor. The fitting is still nicely attached to the sensor which is tucked up under the carpet under the passengers front seat. It never measures hot cats there.

:P cheers :)

:huh: cheers :D

lol fair enough!

I don't want the temp fitting on my cats so no prob for me. but if they put one in no probs either I'll just block it off.

Mate, I paid you on tuesday. Did you get my payment? If people are dropping out, I'm happy to take their place. It was just the straight cat, non bolt on.

Cheers

Hey, i have been updating the list of who is in and who has paid etc in the first post, if you have a look i confirmed your payment a while ago, i will put in the second round of orders probably tomorrow, all the guys who wanted just the cat(not bolt on) will get it straight away, the only people who may have to wait are the ones who want bolt on AND to keep their temp sensor :D

Ok no worries i think only 2 people wanted the temp sensor or mentioned it, ryno and fat32, so i think i will just get the rest sent out without it and i will organise something for those two guys B)

    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
