my eta is april 9th, for the people that already received theirs in the first shipment how do you like it? are you able to tell a difference at all?

InfamousJamous

Received mine today. A couple notes:
-RTV silicone is needed for the BPV.
-An extra M10 bolt is needed for the Map sensor. The stock bolt is M8, but ETS tapped an M10 hole which is nice so it will be the same size as the other bolts.
-Remove the couplers with the stock TMIC, then put them on the ETS TMIC before installing.

do you notice any difference at all

There is a decent low end torque bump.

Wait, so is this for sale yet? Haven't been on in 6th months and this caught my eye hardcore.

Whats with all that tape on the cover?

InfamousJamous

I cut a hole for the taller Turbosmart BPV but realized that might be bad for the air flowing to the intercooler so I covered it up.

I'm thinking about cutting off the honeycomb area for less air restriction but I think it helps the air flow through and not around the TMIC. It could use some foam tape or rubber on the edges where there is a gap between the cover and intercooler though.

Yesterday I had a SH-AWD CEL and it went into limp mode. Not sure what that was all about. I don't see any leaks but I don't have a boost gauge (we need a boost gauge DIY btw). I'll have to diagnose that along with my squeaky pulley issue.


To be honest I have not noticed a difference. I haven't timed or dyno'd any runs though.

Any more insight on the SH-AWD CEL yet?

Plus one - Will be installing it this weekend hopefully if the weather holds up.

InfamousJamous

Can't seem to replicate it as I'm having other issues atm.

Before - =T



After - =)

Finish on my lunch break.
Just need to push the TMIC more towards me because the middle front bolt was not line up correctly.

BigHatch

any real fitment issues? IJ noted:

"An extra M10 bolt is needed for the Map sensor. The stock bolt is M8, but ETS tapped an M10 hole which is nice so it will be the same size as the other bolts."

JCRDX11

Not really beside the middle bolt not lining up - I think it is just because I didn't have time to adjust it correctly.

I need to do it again this weekend as I install it on my lunch break.

They came with extra washer - the M10 hole was there - same bolt as your stock bpv.
You can get it in lowes or Home depot.

I had an extra one handy.

ETS makes great products.

The TMIC looks great.

has anyone tried these with hondata reflash to see if there is any problem or gain ??? also when is the next group buy put me down for number one on the list for the next group buy.

Hey guys, i just installed mine on thurs and have nothing but problems so far. i thought it was a break in period..when i would drive the car would shift pretty rough and today when i went to accelerate from a stop to get on the interstate all of a sudden acceleration stopped and the car jerked back and forth and my vsa light started flashing and i could get the car to go. turned the car off and the vsa light stayed off and could drive gently but when i slightly accelerated it felt like it lost all power and the vsa came on again..kinda scarying me so im going to put the stock intercooler back in tomorrow..any ideas what this could be? i also have a weapon r intake and ecu reflash

Check if you have anything loose - like the back silicone and front.
Make sure everything is tight and secure. Also the bpv adapter part.

Did you use Hondabond? I used the Permatex (High temp version)
Make sure both base are clean before applying on the Permatex.

I had the weapon R intake because and had Weapon R make the intake pipe shorter because I was throwing a code with it on.

I had the ETS TMIC with the exhaust for about a week and love it.
Just need a piggyback system to be able to tune the car and mods.

Installed mine with not issues

kidfury

Just installed mine besides dropping the MAP sensor into the black hole of the engine compartment (removed filter, air intake, and battery to find it with a few curse words during the search) it was relatively pain free. Only drove it for a trip to the mall so far, butt dyno says that there seems to be a bit more kick.

Any word on the CAI from ETS?

CSmoney28

What bypass valve is that?

Mr Hammond

Forge Motorsport

CSmoney28

Oh thanks, for the mazda speed three right?

Mr Hammond

Yes. Or a Subaru of some sort. Probably others. That flange spans a handful of platforms.

CSmoney28

That turns out to be convenient for us lol
