[Shinobi]

[steelbluesleepR]

what is that, mike? alternate fuel map button? on-demand Vtec?

[NAiL05]

what is that, mike? alternate fuel map button? on-demand Vtec?

no it makes vtec hit harder

[TypeG]

it sends an electric current into the hamster cage, making them run faster.

on a serious note, what is that? later.

[minoreparations]

a nitrous button for your hidden system? nice! but why wouldnt you go with a programmed window switch with an arming switch?

[timmy0tool]

haha friggin mike, no surprise here! but really what does it do? is it a tribute to the 50's where the high beams were triggered from the left foot?!

[cp[mike]]

the pedal button is a temporary design, i plan to make it a little nicer than just a big fat button mounted on the top... but... really its just a doorbell, it dings when you press it.







or its for the NAWWSSSSS!!! either way. i give credit to oneoff for the idea as a pedal. dont like the WOT switch idea because its limiting control options. this way i can hit it on demand, and only when the car is in gear! if i go to shift, i have to move my left foot... so nitrous cuts out.

hah! actually the first button i went with was a high beam switch from back in the day!! then i opted for this simple horn button, because its momentary and not a latching click-on click-off.

You got to love that idea mike. i cant wait to drive it when its all tuned

[cp[mike]]

so in preparation for MRX tuning the car, i took the header and downpipe off to weld in a second o2 bung. its actually a Ford spindle nut welded on by oneoff :P hey it works.



while the header was off i tried derusting it and it cleaned up well.



i laid a couple good coats of gloss black high temp paint for coverage


and a couple thin coats of Cast Coat Iron high temp paint for colorage


ehhhh?? nahhhhh


much better



i was painting the bung rustoleum flat black, and covered the whole downpipe while i was at it.


so with the header all ready, i made a short o2 sensor extender


and hooked up my stock o2 in the new location, with a bung in the stock hole in prep for MRX's wideband o2.



once everything dried i took it out for a drive. within 5 minutes the header paint started to sizzle and smoke. it literally bubbled and turned wet as if it were a layer of boiling water at the bottom of a shallow pan. very weird looking. once it all burnt off (within the hour it took me to drive to jersey) it only left a faint pink dust on the bare metal runners, with bubbly corroded paint still on the flange.
... lame, what a waste of effort.

[oneoffaccord]

that sucks mike, anyways how was the tune?

[JohnD1079]

looking nice as hell mike.

Too bad about the header though. I think you should get that jasma one. How did the tune go?
