Be VERY careful when using the AFC's especially the 1st gen model without the knock detection. If you are using the AFC to modify the primary load detection signal to the ECU, then be aware that the Ecu will add less fuel as well as advance the timing when it senses less load. You don't want to go too far with the AFC unless you also can control the timing. Just a heads up for you people who have never used them before.:smile:

This is the Drivers Side View


This is the passenger side view


This is with the ECU Cover off I place to make the connection to the 80 pin harness a quick disconnect later on.


These are the modifications that I had to made to the ECU Cover. A small hole on the drivers side for the wires, and had to enlarge the rear area for the extra wires and tape. Just removed the 1/4 overhang portion.

Dan for my installation I was able to feed the wire thru the rear gromet. That way the weather proofing wasnt compromised. To do this i did remove all the Quick connectors then re-attached them after running thru the grommet. I did try and take a shot of the install with a Crappy pocket pen cam. I got one christmas. they didnt turn out to well but here they are

Dan, looks like you've had some serious over-flow on your expansion tank. And.... what's that snow-like stuff at the base of your windshield?

The overflow is more like I can't pour very well. lol. And yes, that's snow... not that much.. I'm waiting for a nice storm to go spinning in a parking lot.

Good Luck with the install. E-mail me if you require assistance. Remember, work slow, and double check every thing.
