Topgunz - air to air upgrade

Anyone notice your bracket flexing when reversing? Just made a video to figure out what the sound was. I don’t ever notice it going forward though and ironically didn’t seem

Anyone notice your bracket flexing when reversing? Just made a video to figure out what the sound was. I don’t ever notice it going forward though and ironically didn’t seem to have the issue before rebuild/impeller change and tbatt kit but idk how those could be related? Before this i was thinking gear chatter.
And am i dumb for running a no-slip on the stock 8lb pulley?

I think i found the source of my gas smell and rough start (triggering misfire code at startup). Clamp was snug but you can still see fuel bubble between the hose and regulator. Not sure if putting the clamp even closer will help the leak. Hope i can get this worked out and fixes it—before i was suspecting a crack in evap canister which woulda been more complicated than this

Ordered mine. Will see of i need a separate tune if its on or off. I need more sleeper i feel like i’ve had a lot of people back out of a roll when i shift down to 3rd or second and they hear that loud blowoff. Some people are too proud especially cant lose to a G
Seb’s tunes are �� I beat Z with same setup on e85 tune with just my pump gas tune fromSeb. Z’s words not mine.

Nice. There's no reason you should need a separate tune with it on. I definitely like it quieter, it attracted attention from blocks away. I was afraid it was going to attract the black and white attention.

Anyone flex fuel tuned can help? Trying to wire ethanol into my evap pressure on ecu. Pin 102/gray wire is what i read. Mechanic had a different color wire listed in his manual but when we looked at what we thought was #102 it was gray. Now getting codes p2127/2138 and the likes saying throttle position/switch is off so starting to doubt i did the right wire. Goes away when i reconnect the wire. Looked through service manual but havent had any luck
Edit: asked VQ group on facebook—it could be a blue wire, it could be a light green wire, could be gray, but sounds like my gray wire goes to 103
Update: on my g37 it was a blue wire with gold marks, right next to gray wire (103). “EVAP” pressure sensor read .53 at 9.8% ethanol, now just waiting to see what’s next

Did this end up working? I've got a bit of fuel smell as well trying to track it down will check this point first

It did... then the gas smell started coming back. One morning I was driving to work and car shut off. Fuel hose popped off ethanol sensor. Improper clamp (screw type not spring) for expansion/contraction with cold temps is what I blame. But then I had a leak at my fuel pressure gauge as well (kinda a scary one like one drip/second). So I bought a 3/8SAE female quick connect to 6an male for the ethanol sensor, PTFE line to 6an-3/8NPT at fuel gauge. Will use yellow teflon at fitting. That should fully do it, the return fuel line looks to be all PTFE lined
