Default for those of you with EVO FMIC's.....

what did you make your brackets out of to drop the fmic core? it seems like more and more people are doing this so that the core is able to get more air flow. for dbw (01's in particular), where did you relocate the smog pump to? i'm pretty sure that's the only item that needs to be moved in order to fit the FMIC in, right? any installation tips/advice would be much appreciated.

Default Re: for those of you with EVO FMIC's.....

I'm in the process of lowering my radiator looking thing also. Right now half of my radiator looking thing is hidden behind the bumper, so my liquids don't get cooled enough. I'll have some detailed pictures of the lowering process and the difficulties involved. I'm planning to move the smog pump where the small looking radiator thing was. Apparently u need to extend the harness and move the hose from the EGR valve to the other side. Also something related to the AC hoses in which this I have to find out when it comes down to it.

Default I don't want to replace my bad one

let's think of a way to fool it. I was using my APR EMCS to clear it, but I lost control of the EMCS for some reaosn. So I need to reflash my chip. I think I lokced myself out accidentally.

Default they sell o2 "simulators".......

there small chips that you put in place of the o2 sensor

or some people just pull it out, plug the hole &amp; ziptie it aside

neither of these methods will set off the CEL...
