terawua Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Just did a half decat today (rear only as I dont have a FCD yet). The result - 0.95 BAR - my first test drive was lots of fun, and great squat under acceleration! Only thing is.. its a bit more smelly around the back of the car with the rear CAT off. Anyone done the FCD themselves? Better still anyone put the FCD inside the ECU? or is that a bit OTT? James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffvalenti Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Fitting the TRL FCD is easy, only 4 wires, even I couldn't get that wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James going to do similar to mine soon as my rear cat is fuc£ed ......what was the difference in performance like?? did you need a restrictor ring at all? cheers Mikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terawua Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 Perfomance is noticeably better, cant give dyno figures, but it really pulls much harder now. Having said that I have also just put a walbro and FMIC in, which also helped noticeably. No restrictor ring is needed with the front cat still in. I dont know if it applies to all decats, but the exhaust clearance improved also! James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
