Direct Bolt on stav,
the only fitment issue is the dust Shields, couldn't be bothered bending,or hacking at them so just removed them.

rock on Just tried & tested on numerous aristos stav.

thats fair enough mate,

but from my knowledge of the supercharger setups on IS200's and the modifacation of the MAP signal (which is what i think youre doing here as well).

The FCD modifies the signal right through the range and so the ecu will constantly think the MAP pressure is lower than it genuinely is so will under fuel all the time.

The Greddy BCC/Patrick/TTE black box is a voltage clamp. So allows the MAP signal to be true till a certain point, then clamps it. So you only run with a false signal over the clamp value and not right through.



just my thoughts

All helpful mate, something to look into if I have any issues.

Big update

It's got an mot yay!!!!

Had a few dash lights on due to doing the rear subframe swap to get rid of the rear steering
so a bit of wire cutting & soldering sorted that out.

New wiper blades & some jiggery-pokery with an intermittent rear number plate bulb & it's sorted.

Just a few more cosmetic jobs to do along with wheel alignment & it will be good to go..

Will see what happens through the new year regarding shows & meets.

Would be wrong not to post a pic
