[@mauriciohenao6590]

Did you have any issues with the transmission? Jumping 1st and 2nd..

[@LimiterLab]

No mate, its alittle noise but that's all

Hey mate, I just stumbled onto your videos and I love your Altezza build content! I live on Oahu, Hawaii and I'm one of a couple people on Oahu with a 3SGE Altezza! Currently I'm going through a problem where my Altezza is running a little rich, and also when gassing it, the cars rpms climb a little sluggish until around 3.5K rpms then once it gets past 3.5K it runs perfectly fine. (It almost feels like vtec) Do you have any ideas as to what it could be? I've already replaced MAF and I also have the same exact HKS intake (I don't know if this car is sensitive enough to where I'd need a tune after running an intake). Anyways I enjoy watching your Altezza content as I don't see many build series for this car so keep up the great work!

Thanks mate! I would check the Throttle body, make sure all the plug are clean, sounds like a TPS issues well it's the first thing I'd check

[@RP-zo1tz]

Vvt-i is basically vtec, also the throttle body for the is200 is electronicly controlled and doesnt open fully until 4800 rpm. Probably the same for altezza

Hi having a bit of bother with power steering on my altezza, thinking of going down the electric route as no pump seams to last have you a video done on install?

[@LimiterLab]

Hi Mate, yeah I had the same issues. Check out my power steering video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3-TpGaCa7qXaM0

Can you use the throttle adapter and still have the throttle motor plugged in?

[@LimiterLab]

Nope, will burn the motor out, also will through a code because the servo won't line up with the tps

[@bennguyen8470]

Where would i locate the ignition switch if im retaining ac? I noticed you wired your ignition and signal into the relay box where the ac compressor relay used to be.

[@LimiterLab]

Hi Ben! Yeah I have wired it into the AC relay, the pump only uses it as a signal so it doesn't require any amps (can be measured in ma) this means you can wire it into any circuit including the AC if relay if it's retained as it won't draw any extra load. If I was retaining the ac I'd honestly still wire it into the same location.

Hey man I’ve just installed my Delta throttle lock and the car stalls out once I get to about 25kph. I have no idea of what’s going on, any ideas?

[@LimiterLab]

Hey Mate! Yep that's a easy fix, just need to unplug all the plugs going to the throttle body except the TPS which is one of the plugs on the passenger side of the throttle body.

[@Fozzy77]

@@LimiterLab sweet thank you! The cat feels really low on power also, I didn’t touch it for about 6 months so do you reckon cleaning the MAF is a good place to start?

[@LimiterLab]

@Fozzy77 absolutely!

[@bennguyen8470]

Hey mate i just bought an astra pump too, could you please link the power steering hose kit? Cheers mate

[@LimiterLab]

Hey Mate depending what country your in but this is the type of kit you want www.ebay.com.au/itm/395330963528?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=q9mqwnioreg&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=zvvu4mnvrva&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Thanks a lot! Im from syd btw

[@OhWellMusic]

How's the electric power steering going? Looking at setting something similar on mine

[@LimiterLab]

Fantastic Mate! I really like the feel of it and its turned out to be handy to have power steering without the car running as I move it around the shed.

[@mattap98]

Will the throttle body mod eventually wear out the electric motors?

[@LimiterLab]

Well it doesn't use them as you remove the gear connecting it to the butterfly and unplug it the wiring harness, so the motor isn't used at all

[@mattap98]

@@LimiterLab that's really good news. Keep up the build! It's inspiring me to work on my tezza
