1st mod a success!
 
succesfully installed my k&n typhoon intake! its my first mod ever! :D no problems whatsoever other than that the coolant bracket was installed using only 1 bolt as i couldn't loosen transaxle bolt. acceleration feels looser now!

any ideas on a follow up performance mod? still looking for some seriuos hp while still being emissions legal...

thanks!

emissions legal?? You should purchase the header I'm selling in the VENDOR/GB section. It makes more power than most other long tube headers and retains all factory emissions equipment.

Enjoy!

did you reset your ecu after you installed your intake?

Roddimus Prime April-27th-2004 06:09 PM

I reset my ecu after I feel I've gotten a bad tank of gas!!

If you do mods like intake, exhaust, cams etc....you should reset the ecu so it gets a chance to re-learn.

stellar_bc April-27th-2004 10:18 PM

yup. i did! no problems whatsoever like engine light or idling problems!

how do you reset your ecu?

Roddimus Prime April-28th-2004 08:18 AM

with a screwdriver and a bottle of vodka.....

no seriosuly....just disconnect the negative battery cable and step on the brake pedal for 10-15 seconds...then hook everything back up.

How much did the K&N typhoon cost (in CAD)? How long did it take you to install it. It sure looks sweet. Was there noticable inprovement to performance?

it sure is a pretty thing isn't it... ;)

got it from a GB on toprotege.com for CAN$321...took me forever because couldn't loosen the transaxle bolt!

i noticed that the acceleration seems looser now...car seems lighter...nice hissing sound too! sweet!
