Well today i feeled the boost in a s13 chassis... too nice :) well i got my exhaust system installed its a 2'25 with a cat and a cherry bomb muffler ... the sound is excellent .... i didnt think it would sound goood but its awesome ... (well for my taste)

the sound sound like humm its deep and not raspy at all everywhere on the rev band.... not very loud anyway...

the guy at the muffler shop told me my engine was leaking oil in the back of the engine... i checked at home if it was leaking.. and no trace of oil... i dont know from where its coming..i changed my rear main seal .. anyway ... and one more litlle thing..

my Ecu seems ****ed...its running in fail safe mode ... when i start my apexi multichecker ... .its running perfect... everything seems to be fine its reveing without a hitch ... I dont know what is hapenning but tomorow i get a new Ecu...well i like my car again :)

what code is the ecu throwing? because there are only 2 codes that will get it to run in failsafe mode, how do you know its running in failsafe? if you mean its using the low octane map thats cause the fuel here sucks compared to japan's and it won't run the high octane unless you are running ~ 100 octane

yea, that will do that. Try the new ECU and let us know if it fixes it. And to those of you who don't know ALWAYS UNHOOK YOUR GROUND WHEN WORKING ON ELECTRICAL. ECU's aren't cheap...
