I got the XS headers, just make sure you reweld the runners to the flang. Paul had to reweld all of mines because they were cracking everywhere. I talked to richie and his J pipe wont work with out headers. His J pipe only works with the TL. If you look at the J Pipe you will see it curves. That same curve matches the one on the Stock TL J-Pipe but not ours.

 

Well I just went ahead and ordered my AEM FIC today. My mechanic spent a few hours this morning calling companys like AEM and greddy to get the true low down on their units as far as how compatible they are with my CL. It turns out that none of them are fully compatible as far as having full timing control. Like the emanage is suppose to be able to advance timing but due to something with the crank on my or our cars it cannot. It can only retard timing just like the FIC. Just about everyone running the emanage blue is boosted so they would never be trying to advance timing to notice that it may not work. So basically now with the emanage blue for our cars it cannot :advance timing, pull fuel or change vtec. Now as far as the FIC, it cant advance either but it has full fuel control and vtec control. Now the way I was told to get around the timing advancement is to manually advance the timing with something else and then use the FIC or Blue to pull the timing back down to whats needed. Doing this with the FIC will now allow you to fully tune your fuel, timing and vtec and best part is that th FIC still has the o2 screw so the learning ECU will never be a issue again and for people like me with the AEM UEGO wideband you can connect it to that for logging. Well thats what I learned today so once I get it and wired up with a boomslang extension harness I will start off with dyno tuning just the fuel then later test the timing once I get the proper timing advancing device.

 

30-1910?

 

yep

 

Just making sure, thats what i have.

 

what are you using to wire yours up with?

 

I meant the XS j-pipe
I think the Comptech unit will be holding me back when I get the SC on.

 

whats the difference between the comptech J-pipe and XS J-pipe

 

I am about to play around with the software from the FIC

 

good news guys. I got my FIC in hand with my plug and play extension harness. All I have to do is get it all wired up. Hopefully I can convince my mechanic to wire it all up and install it for me this weekend, if not I will just be dropping it off for hopefully pic up next week. Goal is to be able to get it dyno tuned next friday.

 

Hey guys did you all ever get these things working and tested?

 

I actually was waiting for you to do it! lol I already have the boomslang harness to just plug in play. Vick has not made a move on his i know that for sure.

 

Lol....

Did you at least plug it in and see how the basics work?

 

Actually no I did not, did not feel like taking my neo off then trying to rewire it, since its not connected with a boomslang. What about you why havent you tried it yet? Don't tell me it does not work!!!???

 

well I had some road blocks do to a certain person but it is almost worked out now and I will get it up and running for you by christmass... lol

 

Niiicccceeee! I wanted to be the first to try it out, but I will settle for a SAFE 2nd lol.

 

naw go ahead and be the first...

 

no no I insist!

 

no I dog double tripple insist that you do...

 

Damm it! you got me i guess i have to try it out first. Now I just need 600 bucks to drop on a dyno tune, the place i go to is expensive.

 

$600?????? GTFOH.... Dyno tuning for me is like $100 something

 

yeah but this company is the best of the best, they pulled 17whp from just a neo tune. http://www.av-engineered.com/site/

 

i already purchased the fic but im still waiting to get the boomslang harness, well keep u updated on the info. can wait to tune it on the nos.....

 

but on what type of car with what set up?

 

My 2001 cls auto! believe that shit! After they did that i was ok never going any where else period!

 

ok damn thats pretty nice...

 

So there are 3 of you guys trying the FIC? whose going to be the first to hook it up?

 

Who knows, with the power my car is making right now untuned on the Stock ECU, im pretty much satisfied for the moment. Top it off my birthday is coming up on the 24th so I have to prepare for that so im pretty much done with my car till next year. I mean I can hook mines up, but Im noti going to the dyno anytime soon.

 

I need to do a couple more things then I will be off to the dyno.

 

i have 2003 acura cl-p i already purchased the fic and im going to hook it up next week and have it tuned, i have headers, 2.5 mendrel bent catback, intake, throttle body spacer, a 75 shot nos kit nx express. i dynoed 202 no nitrous, 250 nitrous im hoping to maybe get 300 to the wheels with a good tune and my bottle warmer up and running plus p2r is going to make a custom set of intake plenums looking forward to that.

 

wow 250 on a 75 shot?? the power difference between the CL-P and CL-S is that much??

 

yeah cause the clp is rated 225 and i think the type s is 265

 

and my type-m is rated 296

 

Look at you talking shit! reeeeel funny

 

CLS6SpeedNupe where are you getting your car tuned at I live in Baltimore and I bought 30-1910 as well.

 

InlinePro in VA

 

Gotcha
