keep dreaming...i do!!! LOL

Had to send the F/IC back to AEM to get looked at. Would run good if I held the harness just right. Otherwise, was experiencing signal dropout, rough running, cel, etc., whenever I moved the harness around. Runs fine with the bypass plug installed. The bypass plug pins look to be larger that those on the F/IC which I think may have caused the sockets in the harness connector to enlarge.

Didn't like the way the A-pillar pod blocked the view so went with a TDR gauge panel. Slotted the inner shift boot to route the O2 cable through.

That's the TDR panel? That's the same thing i have, $20 shipped on ebay.

How do you keep it from falling out?

:rly:but are they angled to the driver

Tabs on the back side secure it. Also used some rtv.

Yep exact same thing. Guess they're making some major bank on those.

The trim panel that goes around it all hold it in well too.

Where did you pick up the sandwich plate in that pic?

You can get one just like it on ebay. Or anplumbing.com sells them. Should be 20mm, pretty sure the civic uses the same thread. Glowshift sells them.

20x1.5 is what you need for a sammmmich plate.

keep us updated on the AEM install, i just picked one of those up...

How is the turbo install coming? Any new photos?
Stephanie

Haven't started yet. Patiently waiting to get my F/IC back from AEM - should be here this Thursday. Still trying to find out what if anything they did in the two weeks they had it. Regardless will be starting the install this weekend with pics to follow.

Just to follow up on the F/IC problems I'm having. AEM looked at the unit and couldn't find anything wrong with it and sent it back along with a new harness. Wired the new harness in and still having the same problem with the engine running rough/dieing when the unit is moved around. Runs fine with the bypass harness installed. Sent AEM some vids to show them.

those videos seem pretty conclusive to me.

did u cut of the spliced sections of the harness?? theres a possibility that they are contacting each other when moving. but its kinda hard to see in the video... im running the same set up as you (like scary identical) but on my 01. f/ic w/ uego and everything is wired up and it runs like stock. (havnt gotten to install the turbo yet)

Mine runs like stock with the bypass harness installed. Doesn't matter how much you shake, twist, etc., it doesn't miss a beat. I was hoping to have the fueling stuff working before installing the turbo but not gonna happen. May have to pick up a used voodoo card to get me going.

okay well i regretted doing this but the problem is in v2 which i recall u do having frm the video...

i just updated mine right now and my car got hella fucked up... im trying right now to downgrade back to V1 damn....

it idled, then it threw a CEL and it started bogging and drastically changing idle...
