lucas' 4th gen - Vs3 spoiler fitted!

Longer you make the pipe though, the more lag there is in the system, so I wouldn't move it very far at all...

[lucas]

That was my concern!
Im just going to keep it in the engine bay!
I will hide it under the inlet haha

[Lude-dude]

you could use 5th gen or aftermarket throttle body, if your fussy

[lucas]

im not too fussy, I am however thinking about getting a skunk2 inlet
how much remapping is involved with a skunk 2?

and if anyone has one installed.. from what i saw, is there alot less hoses and do i need a different map sensor ?
sorry if thats a mega no0b question from a long standing member but ive never dealt with one

[Lude-dude]

skunk2 inlet would require proper ecu imo

such as hondata, aem or something

then tuning session, cost soon mounts up

I would say not bother unless you plan on doing engine build/work

don't need new map sensor, I think less hoses/clutter

[lucas]

Thanks lude-dude, I do plan on doing a bit of work on the engine, and I did figure id need a new ecu
But... as they look 10x better and as there is less clutter its a winner

Going to cost a BOMB.. but will be worth it

[lucas]

Well i got my AEM from @4th Gen doug and it actually took me about 15 mins to unwrap it it was that well wraped








I tried to take off the big sticker carefully so I can paint but I wrecked it
Going to try n get another though!
So I just carefully masked up the serial numbers instead and prepared it for paint







So.. I never primered it, I WAS going to give it a metallic silver basecoat to make the colour pop.. however.. I thought it leave it red to see the effect and im glad I did!!



That was the second coat... and this is the third



And this is after a few coats of lacquer
Not even flattened and polished it yet!!
Look at that colour pop !!
