Yes, you could upgrade the manifold and TPS, but you would need some custom work to keep the OMP.

It doesn't get tested on the ECU, it eliminates the it. As previously stated we have only tested in an 88 which runs the N333. The wiring pinouts are identical for the N332.

oh im sorry i miss worded my question, i meant to ask about the difference in harnesses, because the 332 uses the resistor box, and low impendance injectors, and the 333 uses no resistor box, and hi impendance injectors.

Actually with the factory resistor pack there is no need to install additional ones for upgraded injectors. That is the benefit of the 87-87.5.

OK good news we did some more testing today and the FD igniter is no longer required for the install. The trailing coil igniter does need to be modified, but we have figured out how to simply use 2 FC trailing igniters to fire the trailing coils. We have also configured the adapter so that it primes the pump when the key is turned forward. The need for installing an additional fuel pump relay no longer exists. The S4 adapter kits are now available on our website. The installation "how to" will be up tomorrow.

Great work! American ingenuity wins again! I think this is one of the best new products I have seen in a while. I just sold my E-manage set-up and was thinking, now what? And then I find this thread. If you still sell this by the time I have the $$, I will be buying it.

It's just awsome that you figured out how to make it work on a S4 with so few changes. BTW, what is the thread of the FD IAT? My billet TB elbow has no provision for the IAT and I was wondering what it would need to be tapped for.

Yes, just an FC trailing coil pack with igniter. They are a dime a dozen, and there is no need for additional connectors. The How-to will be on our site today.

The igniter is needed to fire the trailing #2 coil. The PFC has no problems with the leading and T1, the T2 needs a switching source, this is bypassed by installing an additional trailing igniter to fire the T2 coil. The one that is currently in the car is used to fire the T1.

The FD IAT sensor is a M10 x 1.25 thread.

Where? The only things listed under harnesses are the S5 and S6.

In your previous thread I asked what was different between the AP version and a standard FD PFC that would require the ignitor? I have the AP PFC and my stock coil packs work fine. Not dissing just want to know what the difference is if you know.

Yes, you will have to retap the hole the FC is 10mm x 1 and the FD is 10mm x 1.25

It is all covered in the how-to here:

Again, the FD version does not have the 2v output for the switching wire to the trailing coil pack. We have eliminated the need for the FD igniter here is the how to for modification to the trailing coil. Which is also part of the main how to

We have added an 8" unterminated wire to the Power FC side of the adapter harness, which allows for installation of the S5 or FD TPS. Simply have to run a wire from the full range signal at the TPS to the Power FC and solder it to the provided wire.

OK we tested this out on a car with a hot start issue, the car had perfect compression, so it was a good candidate. As soon as the PFC was installed we started the car and shut it down cold, it started right back up, then proceeded to start and shut down the car at different temps 20-30 times without once having to use the fuel cut switch. We then reinstalled the stock ECU and components and the first time we tried to start it the cut switch was needed. So to answer the previously asked question, it appears that on heathy engine vehicles the the PFC does cure the hot start issue.

I was under the impression that healthy engines weren't the problem. I thought hot start problems occurred on older engines with less than perfect compression.

Also, answer my previous post's question.

It is not always a low compression issue, there is really no cure for that but a rebuild. As with the test car above, eliminating all the old sensors and installing the PFC solved the problem.

If you are looking for links they are they are in posts #112 and #113 above ^^^^^ or you can click the link in my sig....

I don't know what "webpage" you are talking about. The "products" tab on our website has it listed as well as it being on the home page. There are multiple links on this thread, where else would you like to see links?

www.banzai-racing.com has 2 things listed in the Products page under Harnesses. One is a link to the S5 one. The other is a link to the S5 and S6 ones.

I'm just trying to help out...

unless you are using a cached version of our website it is pretty straight forward, click "products", then "harnesses", then you will see

*S5/FD APEXi Power FC Harness Adapter ('89 - '91)

*S4/FD APEXi Power FC Harness Adapter ('86 - '88) <-----------this is the link for this product

*FC & FD Patch Harnesses ('89 - '95)

*FD3s GM 3-Bar Map Sensor & Harness Adapter Kit ('93 - '95)

Unless you are clicking patch harness which is the incorrect product all together

Ah, the little icon. I thought those were just bullets.

I was looking at the two pictures to the left of where it says Harnesses. You may want to think of making the text a link also. I figured if the text wasn't the link then the pictures next to the text, which are links, would be where to click. Kind of confusing...

All changed. This should be less confusing.
