So true!

 

Thank you guys, means alot.

 

Well You guys must be thinking what happened to the update. Well once we had everything installed we started the car and started right up with no issues. The problem came when we pressed the gas and the car started hiccuping, the gas pedal wouldn't respond and dash showed ESP and other errors. Ejaz contacted Weistec and we thought that the Brand new, factory wrapped 82mm throttle body they had sent us had a factory fault. This is because when we would put the 79mm oem throttle body back car would work fine. Well it turns out the problem wasn't the 82mm Throttle body.


Here you see the cable for the Throttle body coming from the firewall direction below the SC, well you can see it has a connection in between.


Weistec were so fast to respond and se
nd another TB so when it arrived we installed it immediately but same issue. So when we were standing there thinking and trying to figure out what the problem could be. thought why is there a second cable connected to the cable pictured above. Ejaz had disconnected the extra length of cable and connected the plug into the TB. Started the car and We have throttle and NO Errors in the display!

Car idled gorgeously and revved with no issues whatsoever


Here you can see the plug that Ejaz connected to the TB


Then we had to plug the hole on the side of the 82m TB, the plug was supplied in the kit.....Here we are preparing the hole in the TB for the plug


All done, Factory hole in TB Plugged up


Fabricating the bracket for the Speedriven electric water pump


Speedriven Electric Water Pump All Installed and nice and neat using Half of the OEM Mounting plate


Intake Filter Reinstalled with Weistec logo facing right way up


Fabricated a bracket for the Big Resistor so its nice and neat

 

Test drove the car yesterday, the car is absolutely nuts.
All parts have been installed, the interior NAV screen will be installed today. Hopefully by tomorrow I get the beast!

Will keep you all updated.
