Can't decide which Header to get

[mini_FD]

so say we both are able to get the sport ecu, where can we get the j-spec intake manifold and is it that much of a difference with the high flow one street unit sells? what does the crankshaft pulley cost and is that an option to go after the manifold

 

[mx-p5]

i have no idea the difference between the J-spec and single runner....i'd have to ask the guys at Corksport

They used to import the FS-ZE's so they know their stuff

 

[mini_FD]

i tried to read what the difference was and i was confused
because i have am a visual guy and never seen what a IM looks like in person ugh

 

[mini_FD]

but we have to have the sport 20 ecu in order to install the j spec IM

 

[mx-p5]

honestly, you'd have to call up Corksport with the specific questions.

I know just about as much as you do when it comes to the ZE

 

[mini_FD]

ill call them up tomorrow... asking if the sport 20 ecu is needed to run the intake mani and if theycan get them, if the msp is the same as the dual runner jspec IM and if they offer similar ones if not Jspec

that's the info from SU?

You can install the FS-ZE Intake on any FS, you don't need the ECU, but it is better to have. The FS-ZE Intake has an extra resonator chamber.

and corksport told me to run the ZE ECU, i need the new connectors and crank shaft pulley, that correct?

To run a ZE ECU you need a ZE Wiring harness. It has a special exhaust Temparature sensor. It is OBDI. And Mitsubishi connectors for the ECU. Did I mention you have to modify the ZE wiring harness because ZEs were RHD ?

 

[mx-p5]

no..didn't know that


*sniff sniff* I smell RHD conversion??

Not really, but examples are:

Brake booster is on the other side, you have to shorten wiring. The ABS sensors are reversed, so they have to be lengthened, etc...

 

[mx-p5]

oh, it's full on RHD from the engine bay as well?

I talked to SU and he mentioned that you would need to purchase an after market egr pipe for it and the offer it."just haven't looked at it yet" . I've also read that some people tie off the egr pipe so old emissions are not stored back into the engine but sam said that it would trigger a CEL. He didn't know much about the J-spec intake manifold but he did say the hi flow intake mani is the same cast as the 626 manifold. He also suggested to get the car tuned after installation because of the rough idling afterwards and the different vtcs or vics "whichever the lingo is" is off fuel and air ratio. Know I am interested to hear the the Jspec Intake mani- is the same as the 626 because alot of other members seem to already have it installed or if its different after modding the 626 mani- or if its all around a different mani-

 

[xJAZx]

why would you even want to buy from SU they are overpriced

 

[mini_FD]

I havent but i'm researching what the difference is between a 626 mani and the Jspec manifold. I know the Mani- is priced high but I am more interested in getting the sport 20 intake manifold. If I can't get my hands on that bad boy then i want to find out what is the closest thing to it. And plainly, Im learning and comparing what everything is. I learn by experience then anything else which sucks lol but do you have any insight

 

[xJAZx]

if your gonna get anything i would order from protege garage or corksprt, some of the prices may come out to about the same but the customer service you get will be way better and SU doesnt have a very good record with people here

 

[mini_FD]

i checked the site and I didn't see IM do you have a link i can maybe check out

 

[mini_FD]

sorry just found it
